No, and this is a common misconception often made by DIY installers. At night, cameras use “Infrared (IR) Light” to see in the dark. If you place a camera inside behind a window, the IR light reflects off the glass back into the camera, resulting in nothing but a white blur on the screen. This is why Safe AR Solutions always recommends “External Mounting,” using hardware that is weather-proofed for Glasgow’s climate.
If you prefer not to install a camera outside, external lighting is essential, but the results will still not match those of a professional external camera. Many residential streets in East Renfrewshire are dark, and only external cameras provide proper protection there. During installations in Renfrewshire, we pay close attention to lens reflection and position sensors where they face no obstruction from glass or other surfaces. For Central Scotland security, the best solution is always high-grade external hardware.
