will it work through a window or would the window have to be open?

This device works via sonic waves. Any barrier between the device and the dog will absorb and lessen those waves. If your barking dog is nearby, the sonic waves will still have an effect if sent thru a glass pane but if the dog is at the outer range of the 50 foot effective area, the Bark Free will not be effective. It is best to have no barrier or any sort between the dog and the Bark Free. That means fences, bushes, trees, windows....anything that will absorb sound waves will lessen the effectiveness. I kept my unit outside a second floor window, pointed downward so nothing was between it and the neighbor's dog and it worked wonderfully.

How do I know my equipment is working perfectly When I I trigger the test and put the audio would not have to issue a sound?

yes, no problem activating through a window. I am so happy to say that I rarely even need to use this collar anymore! I still use it on extended hikes and camping trips to remind him he needs to mind his manners, but this device has truly helped my dog become a happy, calm, well-adjusted and well-behaved member of society =) Cannot recommend enough for a wide range of issues- as long as you use positive reinforcement as well and do not use it to PUNISH. It's made to CORRECT unacceptable behavior. If you are angry at your dog in a moment it should NOT be used or it can really have the opposite effect you are trying to accomplish! yes, no problem activating through a window.

It should work great, I just tried it with 3 windows and a doorwall all open and you could still see it.

I just got mine and it worked sideways and upside down. So I assume it would work if you hung it somehow on the window.

Yes, I've had work through several windows in my home (and they're double pane) during the day, but it won't work for me at night, because at night I get too much refection from the IR bouncing off the window at night to be useful.

Definitely. I do run mine with the windows open sometime, but I it is much more effective with them closed.

A glass window should not impede the signal. A metal screen or frame might interfere but it would have to be substantial.

Nope. Its only slightly better than opening the window. Does the job though.

Depends......the entire unit is made of a heavy material that make it impossible to see in or out......however the front and side windows have flaps that can be folded down to let fresh air in......which can be seen through from inside to outside.....and if opened at night.....can be seen through from the outside into the RVI love mine

It uses radio frequencies (not infrared). Yes, it will go through windows and walls. I can't comment on the range, as the furthest I've used it was about 30'.

Sorry I missed the fact that your using a window. This unit I believe can be used that way, but its more for a wall opening.

Not really. It needs line of sight. It can go though windows with no issue though.

Depends on the construction of your window. Ours allowed us to open-close window simply by moving the screen back and forth inside the window.

Yes, it does need to have access to w window. I've never heard of one that does not need some way to exhaust the hot air it produces. Would love to hear if you find one. Good luck!

no it does not but it is easy to set it up that the window won't open. If the window doesn't have lock one can be installed

Yes. It must be vented to the outside and the kit it comes with is meant to vent it through a window.

It can only work if you are within the range of WiFi network. Place your wireless modem very close to the window, or on the windowsill so the device will get a signal.
