Looking to monitor your outdoor space without exposing your Wyze Cam to the elements? Mounting your Wyze Cam behind glass is a popular solution, but it comes with unique challenges like glare, reflections, and image clarity.

Why Mount a Wyze Cam Behind Glass?

Mounting your Wyze Cam indoors, facing out through a window, offers several advantages:

• Protection from Weather: Keep your camera safe from rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.
• Easy Access: Adjust or maintain your camera without going outside.
• Discreet Monitoring: Monitor your property without drawing attention to the camera.

However, standard mounting can introduce issues like glare and reflections, especially at night. That’s where the Wyze Window Mount comes in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the camera’s night vision work through glass?

• IR Night Vision: Infrared lights can cause glare on glass. Turn off IR lights in the Wyze app and rely on color night vision or external lighting for nighttime monitoring.

Is the Wyze Window Mount compatible with all Wyze Cams?

• The v2 style is compatible with Wyze Cam v3, v3 Pro, v4, and OG series. Always check your camera model before purchasing.

Can I use the camera’s two-way audio through glass?

• While the camera’s microphone and speaker are powerful (99dB, waterproof), glass may muffle sound. For best results, use the two-way audio feature when the window is slightly open or use text-based notifications.
