Contact Sensor to activate Spotlight and record video without tripping alarm?

We currently have two Spotlight Cameras that we LOVE, and are seriously thinking of getting the Ring Alarm to go along with the setup as well. And ran into a question that might be a limitation and would love to know if this can work somehow: We have a common space shared with a neighbor, and there's always activity going on (\*should\* only be us or neighbor), so we don't normally look at that camera footage because it's mostly known people going back and forth. Tho I would like to have a Contact/Door Sensor on the Gate and Shed that would activate the Spotlight and record whoever is coming/going or accessing the shed (only when gate or shed door are opened). As I said there's always activity so having the alarm go off every time would not be ideal. Motion sensor recording is also not ideal (tho OK, but don't want to sift thru hours and hours worth of motion capture). Just want to know when someone opens the gate or the shed with no alarms (and turn on the light at night for safety). Is this possible?
