Spotlight cam battery light 30s too short
Hi everyone, is it possible to allow the battery spotlight cam, to turn on for more than 30s when motion is detected? There is no option to change the duration under light setting. One of the reason for buying this light was, we thought it would be a useful light source when we come home at night but by the time we get out of the car, the light is off already. Hence not very useful as a useable light.

Agree! Far too short. You should be able to manually turn it on and off at the very least. I appreciate the batteries will not last as long however surely that is down to the user and I purchased two additional batteries with the cam just for this. @Ring please provide this option!

30 seconds is far too short, I wish it was much longer. We were fumbling looking for which key to open our door and it took longer than 30 seconds to get it out. Tried to walk in front of the spot light cam and the lights would not come back on... ugggh

I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would design the light to turn off when there is still motion being sensed. I bought this so the light would turn on while I amnoutside and need it. Nope. It just waits until I'm outside and just starting to do anything and then shuts off. So frustrating.

This is also a problem if you link it to Ring's Smart Light bulbs. They're screwed into a socket, but the SpotLight cam turns them off after 30s too. Not very smart if you want to use the camera to detect when to turn on your outdoor lights. The linking feature is pretty useless, as is.

I agree the battery powered spotlight cam is useless until the light time, motion sensitivity and motion area can be adjusted by the owner in the app as the wired devices are. We mounted this thing to a stucco wall10ft up with the a second battery and solar panel.
