I don't know your setup, but here is a couple of suggestions:
- zoom into the window so that it only captures the inside, and adjust the exposure accordingly;
- build a filter to put in front of the lens, so that it can only see the window;
- make electronic adjustment, so that anything else than the window is hidden (no idea how to do this)
- if your cam has an exposure manual setup, adjust it to the brighter parts

The idea is to get the camera working on the window (bright part), not the rest of the area (it should not try to see the dark parts)

Hope this helps, good luck to you !
Something as simple as using a piece (or 2 or 3) of black electrician's tape over the lens to block off the backyard part of the view could just do the trick. Or black paper ...
