I have an issue with the ending
For most of the movie we see the characters in the past (T-1). However, towards the end the focus shifts to the present. Therefore her message on the window at the end would not have made any difference......unless in some alternative reality.
By the end, Callie had gone a little crazy. She thought that she could change what had already happened by sending a message into the past.
Basically her reasoning goes a little like this (I just made up the days);
At 8am Monday morning, the camera takes a photo showing what will happen at 8am Tuesday morning. It shows an empty apartment with blood on the window. When Tuesday morning comes, Callie is unhappy with how things have turned out. She thinks that if she writes a warning to herself and puts it in the window for 8am, it will retroactively appear in the Monday morning photo. She will then have seen the warning on Monday, known to do things differently and the current Tuesday will cease to exist. It would be instantly replaced by a new Tuesday where Callie had received the warning.
The problem is that she's working from a flawed premise. Monday's photo already exists, it can't be changed. No matter what she wants to do or how she tries to change it, the events of Tuesday morning will always match whatever is shown in Monday's photo. She was always going to write the note and it was always going to fall down. The note existed in the Monday morning photo, it had just already fallen down out of sight when the photo was taken, just like it did at the end.
