Spotlight cam light without motion detection

I just installed a new spotlight cam battery with solar. The light only turns on when motion detection is enabled. Customer service tells me this is normal. This is different from the Ring floodlight where the light operates independently of motion detection (and I thought the clown nose dome which is at the bottom of both camera was for the lights). Can anyone confirm if this is correct? I have the cams linked with the Ring alarm. When I am at home and the alarm is disarmed, I don’t want the cameras recording and constantly sending notifications. I would like the lights to come on in the evening when I walk by to illuminate the path. The floodlight does this, but the spotlight does not. Thank you!
