Cameras are all set up looking out windows.  They will record the "glare" of me walking in the room but will not record any motion outside.  A bobcat was walking right in the camera's path outside the window and it did not record.  A minute later it began recording from my movement glaring in the window.  People have walked right by the cameras and they didn't record.  If I pick them up and move them they will record.

The Arlo cameras will not detect motion through glass...they work on detecting IR which the glass blocks.

put them outside

When  it records me in the window glare I see leaves moving on the trees.  Also when I look at the cameras "live" I see leaves blowing and also saw a car going down the street.  This was all recorded from inside the house.  

 

I live in Arizona - very hot.  Can the cameras take the very strong sun and 100+ heat?

Generally, yes. You would likely want o position the cameras in the shade rather than in direct sunlight to help.
