Spotlight Security cam light scheduling

When I schedule a start/stop time for my spotlight cam to come on and off the on time works but the off time doesn’t. Solution?

    Seriously? I purchased a spotlight camera and cannot program a light schedule? Good grief. That’s going back to the store. And, I just tried to use the feature request to no avail.

      This is nice but is it practical for spotlight battery cams you indicate it is compatible with? Having the spotlight on dusk to dawn will certainly drain the battery very quickly and perhaps even if you have the solar panel, it might not be able to restore during the day, what was drained the night before. Can you comment? A much more needed improvement for the spotlight battery cams is to have them actually turn on the spotlight with motion at night even when you have a porchlight on! Even with light set to ON to motion, even the slightest bit of light illuminating the camera will NOT allow the spotlight to come on. This is a serious deficiency as we are losing the surprise factor of spotlight coming on at night with motion - think about a burglar approaching the property. I do believe many folks are buying the spotlight cam thinking this will indeed work as I describe, but it doesn’t. I did make this suggestion in the Suggestions forum but there were no comments.
