Is this a good camera to place in a window at night to look outside over my patio?

Yes, but you'd have to purchase one used (or get very old inventory).  It is an end-of-life camera.  One warning - it might not install if the camera has very old firmware.

 

The Essential Indoor cameras would also work, but do require an Arlo Secure subscription for cloud storage.  But livestreaming to look outside does not require a subscription.

Along with prev info given;

The camera is pixel based for motion ( not PIR ) so it does operate thru glass... Ans works well !

You will have to turn off the IR illumination otherwise it will reflect on the glass and wash out picture.

Other thing is that it requires to be place directly against glass without backlighting ( some sort of cover like blinds, curtain, etc )

 

thru andersen window ( double pane )
