I'm guessing you want a webcam you will mount inside and point out your window?

GDay Josh

My 2 pennies worth

Whatever works for you  - BUT

Do some homework - Where will it be located - Inside / Outside.
Outside will mean a waterproof cover of some sort.
Some use webcams - some use wireless and some of us use digital cameras.

I use digital Olympus c4000 zoom - and free software.
The camera was $30 on ebay
