I like the way the camera stays on the window and is not visible from the outside. But I gave a 4 star rating because I live in a bad neighborhood and I keep track of sketchy activity on my street. However, the camera does not have the capacity to capture crystal clear images from about 50 feet away. That's the distance from where the criminal activity takes place.
This cam is designed specifically for window mounting and its feature set is tailored for that purpose. Like all of my other Wyze products, it was very easy to set up (although it did take a couple tries to get my two window cams to connect to my iPhone for initial setup). I also have older Wyze cams with the company's own window mount. I find that the older window mount does a better job of blocking out light entering from the sides of the cam. With the window cams, there is some flare at the edges of the image when indoor lights are on. There is much less flare with the old window mount. However, the horizontal field of view on the new window cam is much better, which I find particularly useful because when window mounted there is no ability to angle the cam to cover a specific area. Overall, I would buy these again.
Reduced glare from the morning sun was great! But the camera angle isn't wide enough and recording time not long enough to capture the activity needed for my safety and security.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wzye Window Cam is a real game changer, it has provided a clear picture day and night. I actually purchased two and am very happy with both. I highly recommend this camera as an add on, or stand alone.
