Physical on/off switch for Floodlight cam

It seems that this question has been asked before but there doesn't seem to be an answer. The description of the product says that it can replace an existing floodlight setup. Normally, an existing setup is connected to a physical toogle switch so that when you need light in that area, you can just turn it on with the physical toggle switch. But once I replace my existing floodlights with a floodlight cam, there does not appear to be a way to use the physical toogle switch to turn on the lights for illumination. In fact, keeping the Floodlight cam attached to a physical toggle switch means that I'm powering off the whole unit when I toggle the physical switch to "Off". I or my family member would have to go find my phone and access the application to turn on the lights. Is that right? If so, it's not very good for an existing installation where the light is used for illumination. Seems pretty basic so I thought I'd ask before I gave up on the product.
