How to Eliminate IR Light Reflection When Filming Through a Window at Night with Wyze Window Mount

Filming through a window at night can be challenging due to IR (infrared) light reflection, which often causes glare and reduces image clarity. If you’re using Wyze cameras, the right combination of camera and accessories can help you achieve clear, reflection-free footage. This guide highlights the best Wyze products and solutions for eliminating IR light reflection when filming through a window at night.

Why Does IR Light Reflection Happen?

When a camera’s infrared LEDs are used for night vision and the camera is placed behind glass, the IR light can bounce off the window and reflect back into the lens. This results in glare, washed-out images, and reduced visibility—especially problematic for security and wildlife monitoring.
