Will a night vision CCTV camera be able see in the dark if looking through a window?
I unfortunatley live in an area where I have to have CCTV on my home, but if I mount the cameras on the outside they will be attacked by vandals. So if I buy cameras with night vision LEDs and mount them inside the windows where they are safe, will the night vision aspect still work?

Yep they should work perfectly fine, but the LED’s as others have said have a Limited range and the glass might cut down on that a bit, especially if their tinted or such, also another problem to consider is that more often than not the Infra-red LED’s will reflect off the glass like visible light does and shine right back into the CCTV camera making a bright spot that can blind the camera, you might need to experiment with angling it, so it doesn’t reflect back.
