Ok, thanks for the reply. This was setup for my daughter at her house and they primarily just want to use the app on their phones and want to be able to do the following from that app:

Pull up live view of the cameras.
Get alerts of motion.
View motion recordings.

So what settings would I want to best accomplish this?

First, apologies if this is something that I'm posting in the wrong area or can be found elsewhere, I tried looking for it but couldn't find it anywhere.

Anyhow I just setup a RLN8-410 DVR with a few cameras and I'm either having issues configuring motion or searching for motion, I'm not even really sure which. I tried to follow a few of the videos online but they don't exactly match the interface I'm seeing on the DVR via the web interface (I'm running firmware version v3.0.0.200_22081500). Anyhow I have 3 cameras setup currently and all 3 of them in playback I just have a solid light blue bar. Does this mean motion is no configured properly so I'm not seeing any motion? Or does it mean motion is triggered constantly? I've tried different motion settings, sensitivity levels, etc. on all 3 cameras and never get any different results.
