Motion-based recording doesn't happen until you configure a region? #64

Hello, I think I found a bug.

I noticed I was having a heck of a time just trying to get the software to record when there's motion. Unchecking "continuous recording" wasn't enough to get it to start working - I had to go into the "Conditions" tab and draw a box in the "Region of Interest" settings panel to get it to start recording events. From a UX perspective, this wasn't clear and I'm not sure if it's a bug or intended behavior.

hey @yllekz thanks for reporting and giving feedback. I agree we should make this a bit more clear, there was another suggestion made here https://github.com/kerberos-io/agent/issues/60. I believe we should explain more that to have motion detection working at least one region has to be drawn, otherwise no recordings will be made.

The idea about this approach is that you could setup your agent in idle mode, but I believe this should another option. The expected behaviour would be that without any motion region specified the entire frame is used to detect for motion.

Thanks for supporting and providing feedback @yllekz

Wondered why kerberos wasn't recording any motion and then found this issue. Any updates on this? I too thought it would work out of the box.
