I have set up two cameras facing outside through a kitchen and living room window. When I view the images being captured on the monitor, all I see is the glare of the actual camera in the window.
Is there a different type of camera I should use or a different brand. Please help as I am having major neighbor problems and need to keep myself safe at all time.

Hello
Most cameras cant handle bright light, stark contrast or deep shadows.
To cope with difficult ambient lighting and glare you need professional cameras and not the kind you buy online.

There I one cameras have WDR, XRD, and HLC (wide dynamic range) (extended dynamic range) and (High Light Compensation) add IR LED's and you can get images in any lighting condition.
Note IR camera will not work through windows
If you are investing in good cameras you also want to get a good DVR as well.
In the end you want to buy your DVR from a Brand name DVR manufacture
These brand manufacturers also have a complete line of CCTV cameras and DVR for any application from residential to military and stand behind there warranties. You want to get a good bran name otherwise you will likely buy a product that work and cant be returned.

Not all CCTV equipment is created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance take cars for example. In the world of CCTV you can find the equivalent of a $2,000 golf cart and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels but that's where the similarities end, itâs under the hood that counts.
95% of all wireless cameras are compete junk and any wireless camera under $400 run on 1.2, 2.4GHZ or 5.8GHZ and wont offer encryption. This is bad for 2 reasons one the signal can easy be jammed, with a laptop you can actually hacked video feeds so a criminal can use it to spy and know a good time to target your business or home.
Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for. Most retailers and sellers make about a 40-80% profit margin, this is after costs like shipping and overhead. That means when you buy a product that costs $100.00 the manufacturer usually has only spent $30 to build it which simply means itâs not a good product and will probably have a working life of about 2 months. There is a reason these products are 1/10 of the price of good and reliable DVR brand names. The type of seller these products attract are online sellers (ebay) and will make profits margins as low as 3% which means they canât afford to offer good service or allow for RMAs (returns). Cheap products are like disposable razors they are NOT designed to last for a long time and you will end up replacing them every 2 months.
Now some products can be made cheaply like ipod cases, screen protectors, and other simple products with no moving parts or electronics. DVRs need to be good quality as they run 24/7 (20X more than the average electronic device) and process anywhere from 30-480 frames per second which in a year is over 15 billion images, and a good DVR should last 3-5 years.
A true DVR and camera require years of research and development to facilitate the seamless integration of both the hardware and software. DVRs are highly complex systems that must run 24/7, processing millions of images per day and are one of the few products that canât be made both well and cheaply. Cheap and inexpensive products like Q-see, X10, Swan, Lorex, and other low grade DVRâs and cameras sold by Tiger Direct, Newegg, radio shack Sams Club, are not used by any security professional and should only be used by hobbyists.
To be honest the products you find online are usually garbage and are not used by anyone who has worked with CCTV or security products. They are poor quality especially for IR cameras, due to low quality material, low S/N ratio, and low grade CCD image chips.
Also as far as night vision or IR cameras go most do not give good images in the dark. Many companies claim good night vision but there are only a handful of brands who give night vision over 30 feet out doors. normally if a cameras is rated 150 feet of IR it will give you ok images at 30 feet at night and good images at about 20 if rated for 60 feet you might get 15 indoors and will be useless outdoors.
The company I recommend for CCTV products is Ascendent Technology Group they have a large product line and offer better products then Pelco Honeywell and Bosch and are about %20 cheaper and in my opinion have the best IR outdoor camera line up.
For an IP I recommend uses Ascendent`s IP servers that have a hard rive built in which does 3 things. Allows you use any analog camera and convert it into an IP addressable server. Allows you to distribute video over the network and has an HDD in it so that if the network goes don't or your NRV (network video recorder) goes down or gets stolen you have data redundancy. some companies use SD but they don't work to well.

What does the CPI Security camera look like?
Greg
My parents are supposed to take care of my neighbors dog and fish. I decided to go in the house and I
went upstairs to look around. I then saw that they had CPI Security and looked around to see if they had some kind of camera that could see me. I didn't know what a CPI Security camera looked like so I just ran out of the house as fast as I could. So my first question is what does the camera look like? My second question is if they had a camera would they be able to see me. I really want a real answer because It would be embarrassing for me and I think I would get in big trouble. I have known them for a long time so can someone give me a real answer.

Hi Greg, and welcome to Yahoo!Answers:
If you are in Georgia or the Carolinas, then this is a link to the types of Residential security systems CPI installs in homes: http://www.cpisecurity.com/demo-center/residential
Depending on what options the homeowner chooses, CPI offers motion-sensor cameras, Pan-Tilt-Zoom remote controlled cameras (that even the owner can watch on his smartphone or laptop), and remote-access video servers (for the owner and security personnel to watch any stored security cam footage).
And I imagine, if the owner wanted, that CPI could also install hidden cameras (which can be disguised as wall-plugs, fire sprinklers, smoke detectors, books on a shelf, etc.) that you'd never see or even notice if you looked.
Here's a video demo of what you are up against when you wander where you shouldn't (CPI "inTouch Video" YouTube link): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=k7rhrnvfY_E
Watch your conduct in the future and as the old saying goes, "take this as a lesson!" You could have embarrassed your parents & betrayed their neighbors' trust by your actions.
hope this helps,
