Reflections and flaring is normal with thru-the- window mounted camera, especially with any camera not parallel to the window, and worse if there is any sort of light source on the outside that strikes that same window. Heavy rain is also problematic .. Some cameras have "frames" meant to allow a specific type of camera to be flush mounted on a window, but are usually specific to the window. The advantage of a camera inside is obvious- if you have outside illumination, well, your camera is protected from the elements and protected from others messing with the camera. Laview makes some "eyeball" looking USB powered wifi cameras I attach directly to windows using nano-gel adhesive dots.. Then put the camera into the daylight mode, which turns off any infrared LEDs on the camera. This setup is a good setup for a first floor type home where placing a conventional camera outside is within easy reach of anyone passing by. For such a camera, you will want good low-light sensitivity, or a starlight sensor. Having external security lights also can help with illumination. Note that installing a camera looking thru a window in this fashion is not OPTIMAL as installing one outside; but if the camera mounted outside can be cut, turned, moved, destroyed, etc, then the external camera makes little sense. Also, not everyone can install an external camera ( renters, for example ), or perhaps they don't wish to drill or otherwise permanently mount things to a wall.
Is there a monthly fee to view live via smartphone like Blink? If you already have blink cameras (outdoor ones) is the Blink indoor rotating camera recommended over this one in your opinion?

no fee to view live for blink or this one, thats only if you use their cloud service
@@fishbeeproductreviewshello i am in the App Store which app do i download to watch live for free?
Why do you have to connect the C225 to "BLUETOOTH"? You dont have to do that for the C210 or C220 !
Better than the Tapo C210?
they're close and probably personal preference but I prefer the style of this one
Hey there, Will it still work without inserting any microsd card?
sort of but you won't have any local saved clips
Still work, but if you want to Play back, you need to subscribe Tapo Cloud.
What’s the FOV on this camera?
120 degrees
Hi FishBee, can you review the Tapo C220?
hmm, i'll have to check that one out, seems similar to the C210
