Want to mount camera just inside rear pickup window. Will view through glass be affected?

Hmmm, you may have some issues with it being darker if tinted windows but overall should work.

You will be able to see not as much as if the camera was to be outside. NOW, the distance marks will not show the distance the way that it shows on a normal position right under the rear bumper. Yo will have to guess distance, for that matter just look out the window.

Thats what I do with 2 of them. Be sure to remove anything that would cause glare on the window itself. Put a curtain over it and turn off the LED light. Camera looks through it like looking through glass!

I have mine in a window sill and it works fine with one exception. During the daylight hours there is a reflection of the camera back into the camera. This is not a fault of the camera, but if anyone else has experienced the same thing and found a solution I would appreciate hearing about it. Because I accidently came upon this site and don't know if I could find it again, please email me at tmf24556@aol.comTom

I don't think you will have any problems with the camera view through your motorcycle windshield. I have my camera mounted in my car using the visor mount clip. The camera is mounted on the far left side corner of the driver side visor and is about 8" away from the windshield. My camera can still see the full front of my car and a little more of the sides. The wide angle lens is really good fro this camera.

Sure! But as far as hooking up, I don't think you can improve over looking out the rear window of your tow vehicle. Since the camera has a strong magnet that allows it to be attached to any ferrous metal (steel, iron, not aluminum...) you can attach it to different parts, such as the rear bumper or framework, of the 5th wheel and see where you are going. It's like an extra pair of eyes to see otherwise blind spots while backing up or even doing tight turns. I have found that the range of the camera is excellent and you can even mount it on a metal part (hinge, lock...) of a building so you can see how close you are getting to it with your trailer.

Yes if left in the day position only. The night camera light will glare off the window and block vision. Also sun glare can affect camera sight. However the camera will work through glass during the day and at night if outside is well lit.

The suction cup windshield mount comes off if left in the sun. Not sure how much heat the camera can take before having problems.

It has a long cable in order to put the camera on the rear window (with autoadhesive)

The glass pops out once the screws are removed. I've removed the glass on my four Camera Housing Enclosures, pushed the cameras to the front where the glass was (for best viewing angle), and never had rain or snow issues even during storms. An occasional spider web maybe, but not in cold weather.

It cannot when installed as directed: there is only one camera on this unit and it is designed to face the road. Other dashcams are available, however, that are designed to film both the passenger cabin (and sometimes by inclusion, part of the area behind the vehicle via the rear window) and the roadway in front of the vehicle at the same time; this just isn't one of them.

Pointing the camera out a window is not a good idea. The cameras are equipped with 12 IR LED's (night vision) which will shine off the window at night, making it look as if someone is shining a flashlight at the cameras. The largest size SD that you can use is a 32GB.

Yes, I have done so. The IR's at night will not shoot out properly and you will get a reflected picture. During the day, it is hit and miss depending. I have tried this with several different types of glass (dual pane, single pane, etc.) and when I have looked at the quality of the video, it is poor. This method also relies on how far away you set up your camera from the window, and the ambient lighting surrounding the area as well.

Once mounted on dashboard / windshield for Iphone 4, has anyone used it to take pictures / video? I want to know whether it is able to bend (at an angle?) to have clear view and the mount point doesn't obstruct the view.

The only issue would be whether or not the dash level would provide the camera lense to actually see over the window frame and give a clear view of what it is you are trying to capture. The adhesive will definately hold it in place

works just fine. I have these in the rear window of a pickup, one on each side.

The back of the mount is completely open except for the legs and bottom where you attach it to the car window or dash. I don't think you would have any problems with the lens interfering

No I have been using it for the last two months and have taken a few "selfies" and the forward facing camera is not effected by the glass.
