hi I have a glass porch on my house will the detection work through the glass,
any useful tips would be appreciated
thanks
most Eufy cams won’t detect motion properly through glass since the sensors rely on heat, and glass blocks that. If the camera is behind a window, it probably won’t pick up movement outside.
If you can, mount it outside the glass. If it has to stay inside, turn off night vision so the IR lights don’t reflect off the glass at night. You can still see live or recorded video, but motion detection won’t be reliable. Let us know what camera you’ve got and we can help more.
It’s best to buy an outside camera
Thanks which do you recommend!
Or what about a better indoor camera for inside the porch?
Yes I’ve given up, and relocated it outside however I’ve sacrificed a good position from inside
I wasnt get any problems from reflections just no detection
Anyone know if the motion detector would trigger through glass?
Then I you get it to trigger a camera to record!

A separate motion detector is essentially the same technology in the camera, typically a PIR sensor. A separate motion detector would have the same issues detecting through glass.
I’ve just had another thought keep the camera in the porch and put the sensor outside!
Are the sensors ok outside!
I will not be beaten! 
haha yes, that makes sense! You got this lol
The only problem I could for see is there is no activity zone so it may trigger half way up my street!
I would get an outside camera… but I would say that as I have 7 including the doorbell outside and just 4 inside
I am waiting for my gift card!
Ok folks UPDATE!
Got my gift card so got a camera for £15
Great value Eufy,
I’ve ordered a motion sensor
So I am going to put the sensor outside of the glazed porch and the camera inside I will update you all with the results!
Keep us posted, I feel like I’m invested in your success lol
How much?
I reckon my odds are slightly better than 50/50 chance of success!
He who dares wins!
Thank you for the advice!
Most appreciated
I have a couple pan and tilt cams in windows. In day light they’re great. Even with lights off at night not so great, you just see a blob reflection of the camera, depending on how you angle it, if you sit the camera in the center but angle it to the edge of the window it seems to work great. I honestly don’t recommend these pan and tilt cameras for this type of task. The angles change by themselves, completely turn around to inside view. Get stuck and unresponsive to any attempt to correct them through the app.
My pan and tilts do trigger through the glass.
