Using a light switch to power off a floodlight cam

Question

I just installed a floodlight camera on my patio. We like to use our patio at night sitting with friends. Since my floodlight cam is controlled by a light switch, can I power it off while we are on our patio, then turn it back on when we come in for the night? Will this stop the motion notifications while powered off, but reactivate them when powered on?

Hi @user51601. If you shut off the power to the Floodlight Cam, it will go offline and not record. Once you turn it back on a few hours later, it should reconnect on its own, as long as their are no issues with your network, and it will start recording again.
