Running man

[arlogf277]

Got a 2 camera system today VMS 3230
I dont understand the running man colors.
Im only getting grey in live 
and black when not live

Im in armed mode right now
Is it still detecting motion?

What you see is correct.  When a mode is set to allow detection/recording (you're using Armed), the running men will be black.  When disarmed in any way, they're gray.  Live view will always supercede detection/recording so the men turn gray.  If you need a recording while live viewing, manually hit the record (red "target") icon to start and stop the recording.

This may be a separate issue. I'm seeing what you mentioned above in my wired Arlo, but it doesn't record live or when detecting something. I see its armed and working with black Wi-Fi signal, and I get prompted when motion is detected. But when I check the number of recordings, it says 0. Also when I press the live button on my phone, the camera ignores it. It was working perfectly for months up until a few days ago. Any reason why?

Hard to say remotely but I'd try resetting your Q and resync to see if that helps.
