Dawn to Dusk Lights Off Schedule for Floodlight Cam
I noticed that the motion sensors trigger the lights on our floodlight cam even during daylight. I’ve programmed a schedule to keep the lights off during certain daylight hours. However, I noticed the device settings don’t have a “Daylight to Dusk” feature to schedule to have the lights off during daylight hours. This would make the scheduling of having the lights off much easier since the user wouldn’t have to constantly change the schedule depending on the time of the year. Having this feature would help to conserve energy & bulb life.

The schedule settings for a floodlight cam or other cams with lights do not allow for a negative schedule to keep the lights off from dawn to dusk. The settings only allow a setting for dusk to dawn. I have several units and any motion triggers the lights to turn on wasting energy and bulb lifetime. Regular smart lighting which I also have several of use a light sensor to prevent them from turning the lights on but the camera units don’t have the sensor and there is no dawn to dusk option to keep the lights on. This is a basic simple thing when it comes to lighting and needs to be addressed ASAP.

Well that's all I needed to know... Taking this Spotlight Pro back today. I'd rather my lights be "ON" throughout the night using a dusk to dawn sensor than to have it come on and go off based on motion or some schedule crap. Not sure why this is a thing... where homes are blacked out until a motion happens. Everything's LED now and not so expensive to keep on all night. I'd rather a perp see what's lit and also notice I have a camera before they even walk on the property... Motion spotlights should be called entrapment cams Lol.... Your neighbors cat has no idea you're about to catch it on camera, stalking it's prey every night. Awesome! Just leave the lights on.

CHi @mcallibn5592. You can utilize a Light Schedule with your Ring Security Cameras to have the lights on from Dusk to Dawn. For more information on Light Schedules with Security Cameras, please review [this](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058421812-How-to-Use-Security-Camera-Light-Schedules-) Help Center article.

A feature be added to the light schedule where lights can stay off from dawn to dusk.

I like that idea instead of the motion, lights going off during the day they would stay off.

I agree. A dusk to dawn option in the linked devices would be very useful.
