How to Use Wyze Cam v4 Motion Detection Through Windows for Outdoor Monitoring: Tips, Limitations, and Best Practices

Wyze Cam v4 uses advanced motion detection technology, but like most security cameras, its motion detection relies on both video analysis and, in some cases, infrared sensors. When placed behind a window, the camera can still detect motion through video analysis (pixel changes), but features like night vision and the motion-activated spotlight may not work optimally due to window reflections and glare. For best results in outdoor monitoring, we recommend installing Wyze Cam v4 outside, as it is IP65 weather-resistant and designed for both indoor and outdoor use. This ensures you get the full benefit of its 2.5K QHD resolution, Enhanced Color Night Vision, and motion-activated spotlight for reliable security day or night.
