Need to be able to temporarily disable light on Spotlight cams

I have a wired spotlight camera in my patio. This evening, I wanted relax in my patio. However the Spotlight came on every time I twitched. I temporarily disabled motion and notifications in the app. I setup disarmed mode to disregard this camera when in that mode. However, I could not get that light from coming on constantly. This is extremely annoying. If there is no way to properly control a light on a camera, then the firmware needs to be fixed asap.

    I have been using the Ring products for years now and generally they are great but I have been looking for the answer to your question also and can't find anything. There should be a simple disable for a specific time just like the snooze option. I too like to sit outside on my deck at night and the light beaming on me is brutal. My spotlight camera is hardwired without an on off switch so this is very frustrating. A complete snooze with no motion detection and no lights for set times like 30 and 60 minutes would be perfect and then you wouldn't have to worry about turning it back on when you went inside. Seems crazy that the Ring software people haven't implimented this already.

      It’s not possible guys. It’s not a software issue is a hardware limitation within the light sensor in floodlight cams and spotlight cams. If you notice, their new products like smart lights can completely disable the light if needed.

    If you were to install the spotlight camera on a timer would you have to reprogram the Wi-Fi when the camera came back on with the timer?
