Will the camera pick up motion detection if the camera is looking out of a window?

NO, unless the window is open 🙂

 

The IR ( for the sensor ) is blocked by the glass...

Thanks for the reply. That is what I thought.

I would have appreciated it if the box actually stated that the IR will not work through glass as I have just paid out £300 for a totally useless system. I cannot install the system outside as they would be ripped off the wall as my previous ones were. That is why I purchased Arlo as they were wireless and did not need to be outside.

Arlo Q works fine through a window as long as night vision is turned off (so the IR illuminators don't reflect from the windows). Maybe take your system back and replace with Q cameras?
