Support motion regions in continuous recording mode

Refactor motion detection logic to enable motion region visualization during continuous recording. Motion detection now runs in continuous mode when a motion region is configured, allowing live-view overlay display without triggering motion-based recording. In continuous mode without regions, motion detection is skipped as before. Updated conditional logic and added clarifying comments explaining the different code paths.
