I have mounted my Arlo inside to record outside. They do not detect motion

I purchased the VMS3430-100NAS at Best Buy. This choice was not listed above... I have mounted 3 of the 4 cameras inside pointing to the front door, back door and driveway. They are not detecting any motion. The 1 I have inside the house is detecting motion when someone enters the room. Is it possible to detect motion with this set up?

No. The wireless cameras use a passive IR detector to detect motion. Glass blocks thhe IR from the subject so it won't work. Mount them outside or consider the Q cameras which use a pixel-based detection system which works well through glass.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just bought Saturday so I will return them.
