Spotlight Cam (wired) - Disable Lights
I have both of my spotlight cams set to NOT let lights turn on via the schedule.They turn on constantly all night long :( Oddly, this isn't when there is a motion event, they are usually off then - they turn off and on without any motion alerts happening.I have seen other posts about the "zone" being different for the camera and lights. I cannot find any setting other than the camera zone.Anyone know how to turn the lights off for good short of physically covering them up?Thanks

Crossing fingers didn't work.However, I did stumble across the problem. First, I was wrong when I said both cameras where doing the same thing - turns out it was only camera 2.I don't remember ever setting this, but camera 1 was set to turn on the light of the camera 2 when it detected motion. Disabled that setting and the light now stays off according to schedule or by toggling "Motion-Activated Lights" to off.I find it odd that a light control setting for camera 1 totally overrides any light setting for camera 2 :( Seems like a message should pop up when trying to turn the lights off in this situation.

No replies so I went into the app settings again and found the lights zone. I had already set the lights to be off via "Device Schedules" -->"Light Schedules".I missed this when browsing through the settings before: "Devices" --> Camera in question --> "Device Settings" --> "Light Settings".There is a "Motion-Activated Lights" setting that was still on even though I had disabled them as stated above. "Motion Zones for Lights" is also there until you disable the lights by toggling the "Motion-Activated Lights" switch.Fingers crossed this in fact stops them from coming on.
