I've had (I think) the same question. I know you can set BI to highlight or draw a rectangle around motion as its happening but I don't think there's a way to do this when reviewing clips. I often have an alert and when I review the clip, I never figure out what exactly it was that made this become a clip. It's a little annoying to me but then I'm not using this for anything but hobby/entertainment.
I am not sure if it will have rectangles in the clips. I don't use any of the rules to have rectangles. the clip will not be generated if there is no movement. so if you go through your clips and there is nothing there then it was a false trigger. Such as leaves blowing, or a shadow from clouds, or paper blew in to the scene. I just scroll through my clips and if i see a person or a car or an animal i click on the clip to enlarge it. Takes me all of 15 minutes. This is how i want it. I want to record everything and have it trigger when ever there is motion. This way if something does happen i know for a fact i have it saved, and all i have to do is find it. It's that simple. I don't want notifications i don't want email. I just want to collect everything, and check my alert clips.
I am assuming we are talking about the same thing. You want your cameras to record and then you want to go through the footage at a later time. That is what i do. The alerts are the clips that are saved and all i have to do is go through the saved footage that is split up at the point motion is detected.
You can use the "Test run video through motion" while reviewing clips to tell you what caused the motion, then use that info to tweak your settings so it doesn't happen again.
