This is a strategy we strongly advise against for any property in Glasgow or Renfrewshire. While it may seem like an easy way to avoid drilling holes, recording through glass introduces several major issues. During the day, the glass acts like a mirror, reflecting the interior of your room or the sky, which “washes out” the exterior view. In the suburbs of East Renfrewshire, the shifting light can make the footage completely unusable for identification purposes.
The biggest failure occurs at night. CCTV cameras use Infrared (IR) lights to see in the dark. If the camera is behind a window, that IR light reflects off the glass and directly back into the lens, resulting in a solid white “glow” on your screen with zero visibility of the outside. To provide the high level of security that Safe AR Solutions is known for, we always mount cameras externally using professional weatherproofing techniques, ensuring an unobstructed, clear view of your property in all lighting conditions.
