hardwired-security-cameras
I have new Spot light Pro Cameras & they do NOT turn on the lights when recording motion.Set to record animals people, lights don't turn on when animals detected & only sometimes when a person is detected. This is at NIGHT of course.Shouldn't lights be instant regardless & recording to occur per the record setting

Ahhh.... It appears you have discovered what I think is a major deficiency with the sport light cameras. If you have any sort of ambient lighting like a porch light that even slightly illuminates the camera, the spotlight will NOT come on with motion even though it is set to come on at night with motion in the app. I went through at least one return with Amazon because even Ring phone support thought this was a defect when in actuality it is working as designed. If you search the Feature Request board, you will find at least one request to make this a "feature" by myself and others since then. I don't regard this as a bells and whistles type of enhancement. It should be a core feature of these cameras.
