    The Panasonic HomeHawk WINDOW camera is a unique home monitoring video camera that allows you to monitor the outside of your home from the comfort of inside. HomeHawk WINDOW adheres to your interior window via a powerful suction cup or double-sided tape, avoiding the need for drilling or elaborate set-up and providing natural protection from theft and the elements. HomeHawk WINDOW provides clear, glare-free 1080p full HD recording around the clock with a 150° wide angle view and bright color night vision, ensuring you can always see everything clearly. A local microSDXC card (sold separately) backs up recordings without the need for monthly cloud fees or contracts. The HomeHawk WINDOW plugs into a standard interior wall outlet, so the camera has continuous power; never again will you have performance issues due to decreased battery life, or need to disconnect your camera in order to recharge. HomeHawk’s Person Detection Technology, as well as its ability to customize detection areas, helps ensure you only get the alerts you need—no more unnecessary recordings due to tree or car motion. With a sleek, discreet design, and its compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant, the powerful KX-HNC500 HomeHawk WINDOW camera blends seamlessly into your life, providing peace of mind with superior technology and an easy-to-use interface.   *Camera resolution supported: 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD), 1280 x 720 pixels (HD), 640 x 480 pixels (VGA).  If the unit reaches certain temperature, the fan turns on to cool the unit down.

    Best “window” camera on the market so far
    4 out of 5 stars
    Best “window” camera on the market so far
    We tried a few other “window mounted” cameras on the market out there with less than stellar results, so far after 3 months of use this one is the best out there. Why a window mounted one? We currently rent a home, so no alterations to the doorbell, peephole, doors, or exterior of the home can be altered for security cameras so we really needed a security camera that was window mounted. As you can see in the photo this is what the view out looks like at night with an exterior light on as the camera captured our neighborhood skunk passing through at 3 am.The setup is easy, they mounted and have stay affixed no problem (though I do follow the instructions and re-affix monthly just to be sure). The software itself is basic, has some nice customization features with alerts, setting the detection zones, etc same as most other cameras out there. The person recognition has only once misidentified a squirrel as a person, though in fairness the sun was glaring and the squirrel did pop into the field of view out of nowhere. Other than that I have the cameras to only alert us of a person and they done exactly that. Even after reviewing the captured footage daily for three months now it has never once failed to recognize a human was in the field of view, so +1 for that.No idea why people are reviewing that you cannot download the videos because you can and it is very simple to do so without having to remove the micron SD cards. Video quality is great during the day, good a night even in low light, the camera is a wide angle view so you at times get a fish eyed view, but the idea here is the capture any humans, not candid nature videos for National Geographic. I purchased the recommended micro SD cards (SDXC 256GB), cards were on sale as were these cameras, so two cards and two cameras set set me back just under 200 bucks total.The good news is there is no subscription needed so that some random company can store the images online for you, they are stored locally on the SD cards and yes you have to maintain that by formatting the cards or deleting all the files (just completely formatting remotely is easier and faster btw). The downside and main reason for 4 stars is because while you do not need a subscription to a service these cameras are not isolated to just your personal Wi-Fi network, the cameras will stop working if and when the Panasonic servers are down and the Panasonic team is only available during the week, could not get an actual human during an outage on the weekend. I switched my home lighting setup to Phillips hub system because I DO NOT want to rely on a remote server being operational in order to be protected or functional. Panasonic did not tell me why these cameras rely on a remote server other than somehow it is related to the app, not the actual cameras. The cameras did still capture everything when the servers were down but with the app not connecting to them we received zero alerts during the two day outage. I have had Wyze, Ring and Blink cameras and all of them had server issues at least 2-3 times per year so the problem is not unique to Panasonic but still a but disappointing as they market these to being off the grid and self functioning but they really are not.Other than the the one server outage on the weekend, zero other issues. Easy to set up, easy to add multiple devices including a table (tablet software still displays like a phone btw, annoying but not end of the world bad), no monthly or annual fees, good picture quality, decent features and fair price if you can pick them up around 100 bucks. If you do not want your videos stored on a third party server and need a window mount camera, these are for you, hands down better than anything window mounted from the inside that are out there right now.

    Top reviews from the United States

    • Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2023
      I was looking for a 24/7 recording camera that I could install easily without drilling holes outside, and I found the perfect match.

      Installation: I just plugged in the camera, downloaded the Homehawk app, followed instructions to pair the camera, and that's it. It was straightforward. After completing the steps, I kept repositioning the camera without sticking it to find the best spot. Once I found it, I cleaned the window, removed the protective cover, and attached the camera to the window. I did not use the additional stickers provided as the camera feels firmly attached to the window. This way, I can reposition again if needed.

      Quality: Don't compare this to an outdoor camera. It won't capture faces or license plates perfectly, but it does capture it pretty well for a camera mounted on an inside window. Even at night, the quality is pretty decent, and the video is bright. Even without any street lights, the video is bright.

      Recording: You have to purchase a Micro SD card. I recommend 512 GB. 512 will give you almost 25 days of recording. 128 GB, which would be the minimum, will give you approximately 5-6 days of recording. 512 GB card is pretty reasonable in price and is the best option. You can add 1TB, but they are costly. 1 month's worth of recording is pretty good enough. The camera stores the file in 5-minute intervals, and once the memory is full, it will automatically overwrite the oldest file. This way you never have to touch the memory card again. You can easily view the recordings from your Homehawk app anytime, even if you are away. You can also download the video if needed. Videos are date and time stamped at the top. You can also do a live video anytime you want from your app.
      If you do not want a memory card, you can just have it for live view and motion detection.
      Even with a memory card, you can just have it for motion detection, and a 128 GB card would be sufficient to store these clips.

      The only con about this is to find a good location. Since it can only be mounted on a window, you need a window with a clear, unobstructed view. Make sure you have a window that will work before purchasing. Clean the window inside and outside before mounting to get the best recording. Look through the window, and you see what the camera will see (maybe more as the camera has a wide angle).

      Overall, I love it. Installing a camera outside is expensive and takes much work (24/7 camera). This camera makes it so easy to just mount something on a window and get continuous recording. The app makes it easy to view videos as well. From outside, you just see a black thing on your window, and no one will know that it's a camera, so it's very subtle. The quality is pretty decent for an indoor camera. I highly recommend it if you want something easy to install with no monthly subscriptions.

      I love it!!!! I put the camera on our garage door window, using the blue wide masking tape, a extension cord and some hooks that the camera stays on the window and the cord won't touch on anything when garage door opens. It works out great looking over our driveway. I wish I could angle down a little bit, but I still like the fact that the camera is securely installed inside of the window, I don't need to worry about the battery, and on the top of it, there is no monthly fees (WooHooooo!!!)!!

      Like many reviewers say, the app could have some improvements probably because I'm used to Ring app. (I have a Ring Doorbell Pro.) I wish I could delete the video clips in the "recording list" by swiping it out (or check multiple photos to delete them all at once). Setting up the camera in the app is a bit confusing. First, you need to turn on your location on your device. Then I suggest you to be near router when you connect your camera to your wifi, then the camera to your device following the in-app step-by-step installation guide. After you finished setting up the connections, then you can simply unplug the camera and take it to wherever you want to install it. Once wifi is all connected, you can easily plug/unplug the camera from the power outlet and no need to set up the wifi again and again like Ring Doorbell cameras which is very frustrating.
      (UPDATES: I found a quick delete selection in the app! "Show All">"Select". And I started to like this app as I'm getting used to it! I lower the sensitivity on my motion detection, but there are still a lot of videos recorded. What I like about this app is that I can chose "Person Only" recordings to review the recordings. That way, I don't have to waste my time looking for the ones that shows some human activities in my property. Another option that I like is that I can easily protect some of the video clips with one click. I used to use Ring app. That's why it took for me to get used to the Homwhawk app. But now I actually like this app better than Ting app. It's well coordinated once you get used to it. )

      It takes some delay to watch the live view, but I personally think it's slightly faster than Ring. (It depends on my wifi strength too.) But it doesn't really matter to me since I don't have to "answer" to the camera activities. If there is any action going on, then the camera is already recording the activities anyway. So I won't worry about the little delay so much.

      My garage windows are all tinted dark. But the picture quality is excellent even at night! We have a street light 2 houses away across the street which seems to give enough lighting for our camera to be able to pick up the images in color! (I don't even have the highest quality setting.) I also lower the motion sensitivity but it catches all of the activities in the area I chose.

      There is no microphone on this camera. So the noises won't trigger the recordings. Your privacy inside of your house is protected.

      I purchased 128GB of micro SD card for the camera as Amazon suggested, and it's working just fine although I later noticed that the camera is supposed to take up to 64GB of micro SD card as some reviewers stated.

      I can choose if I want to turn the LED light (which is located on back of the camera) on/off in the app, and there is no light shown in front of it.

      My daughter also downloaded the app to check her car on the driveway. It seems like up to 4 devices can be connected to this camera at once.

      Overall, I'm so happy with the purchase! I don't have to worry about my neighbor getting on to our camera when I'm setting it up as they have no idea when we are setting it up. (My neighbor who also has the Ring doorbell has sneakily gotten on to our camera once (this really happened) when I had hard time setting up our Ring Doorbell Pro for the first time. Now I know why I had a hard time connecting it because they were stealing our Ring signal before we were trying to connect with it. Creep!) Even we get power outage, this camera would just reconnect the wifi itself when the power is back. You can relocate this camera anywhere you want in your house. You don't need to recharge the battery. It's Panasonic. They are good and I trust many of their products!

      Lastly, I'd like to request to Panasonic to make more products like the doorbell cameras, the outdoor motion detection driveway/front porch alarms (with no camera--to be less expensive), and less expensive window cameras, outdoor gate camera (like a peeping hole camera with weather proof) which all come with wired or wireless. I would definitely buy more Panasonic products to protect all around my property!

      Anyways, I'm really happy with the purchase, and HIGHLY recommend it. It's impressive!!

      I really wish I’d read the Amazon reviews of this product before purchasing. The Panasonic Homehawk app is not available for download from the iOS store in Australia, so the device is useless here. Shouldn’t be available on the Amazon Australia store!!

      The night vision on this camera is excellent and the image is crisp and clear. Easily mounts on the inside of glass and can be triggered automatically to record on motion detection.
      A good solution for anyone looking for some security and privacy but without paying some subscription to upload data to China. No internet needed but its convenient to access your camera via WiFi to view the live feed. It's a bit pricey but worth it for some peace of mind.

      1.0 out of 5 stars This item CANNOT be used in Australia

      I have spent weeks wondering what I did wrong and the answer is nothing - the app is not available in Australia so the two cameras I purchased are useless. This should not be an international ship item

      I tried many different security only to be disappointed with either quality, functionality or ease of use. My search stopped after purchasing this great Panasonic product.
      It was easy to install, provides great quality recordings and provides flexibility on how and when to receive notifications
      A purchase I would recommend that you won’t regret!!!

      Je ne regrette pas cet achat. Le produit est de grande qualité et s’intègre parfaitement à ma fenêtre.
      Un inconnu qui se présente à ma porte se fait immortaliser et la photo/vidéo fait en sorte qu’il est aisé de l’identifier.

      Cependant le prix m’empêche d’acheter une deuxième caméra. En effet il me semble important de laisser aller quelques mois voire une année pour vérifier sa fiabilité à long terme. Je recommande néanmoins ce produit
