I just got my Arlo and got it set up today. I set them inside my storm windows between the outside window and the inside window. It was so clear and the colors were so true, I was happy and amazed.  Since the sun started going down It is hard to distinguish what is even on the screen.  I recleaned the windows and put a black trash bag over the inside of the window to reduce the inside light and glare.  Now it is just barley visable.  I tried adjusting the lights online but it does not seem to do any good.  What now?  ggmeme

The Arlo camera is just ok in low light... needs the equal of about a 40w light illumination min to get pictures.

( without using the built in IR illuminators )... it is what it is.

 

Increase your outside lighting with normal floods and it should see fine.

 

 

*** BTW, just in case , the Arlo will NOT detect motion thru glass cuase the glass blocks IR which is how the sensor work ***
