A window camera includes: an image capturing unit, a housing, and a light-shielding member. The image capturing unit is configured to capture an image of outdoors from an indoor surface of a window. The housing includes an attachment surface having a rectangular shape and facing in parallel with the indoor surface. In the housing, the image capturing unit is provided to be recessed in the attachment surface such that an optical axis of the image capturing unit is aligned with an intersection of a pair of diagonal lines of the attachment surface. The light-shielding member protrudes from the attachment surface toward the indoor surface and has a rectangular frame shape along an outer shape of the attachment surface. The light-shielding member is formed of an elastic material and elastically deformable by pressing from the housing to close a gap between the indoor surface and the attachment surface.
