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.
