Is your camera inside the house? Motion detection will not work through glass, as it requires IR detections and IR doesn't work through glass. Same applies with zones set.

If your camera is setup outside, check Modes > Rules > Edit to ensure you have "Record when motion is detected" and that the sensitivity level is sufficiently high. You can check for motion detection by clicking on Devices > the "gear" icon > Motion detection test. Walk around in area you are doing surviellance and the blue light on the front of the camera will light up when motion is detected. This all assumes your camera is not looking through glass as previously mentioned.
