I have a camera inside pointed towards my back doors which are bunch of glass windows and glass doors. Goal is to see inside the room and also see a face if someone succeeded in breaking into my home. The issue is that there's a lot of glare that makes it hard to see at night and even during day. Annke 161DR camera (Hikvision clone) is what's there now. Please let me know what info would help you help me fix this.

I'll try to update this with a pic when I get a chance.

You would need to eliminate the camera as the IR/light source that's generating the reflections by turning off the camera IR, and installing local illumination either IR or visible on the target side of the glass.
Presumably the daytime reflections will vary with the direction of the illumination from the sun.
