telc 0 Posted January 3, 2014 Will camera in night mode such as the Hikvision 2032 work through a single pane of glass, if there is a external IR illuminator outside and the IR on the camera is disabled? Or will the glass block the camera from seeing the IR light outside? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buellwinkle 0 Posted January 3, 2014 It will work in theory but consider if there's a light on inside the room, the glass will act as a mirror. For example, I have the very same camera in my review looking out a window at a lake and it works great during the day, but at night, it reflects back so I have it behind a curtain so it reflects the curtain and not the activity inside the room but certainly something to think about.

dvarapala 0 Posted January 4, 2014 I have a cam in the window of a spare bedroom. It's fine as long as there is no light on in the room, which is OK since the room isn't used very often. If you want to put yours in a room that is regularly occupied, however, you'll want to cover it with a black blanket or the aforementioned shadowbox to kill the reflections.
