Security Light Spot Light Will Not Stay On

shomberj — Tue, 18 Dec 2018 18:37:18 GMT

I just got the arlo spot light and bridge added to my current 4 camera set up. When I try and keep the spot light on it automatically shuts itself off inside the app and then does not turn on with motion. Do I have something set up wrong? Please help as this set up was expensive and doesn't make sense it won't turn on with the motion.

Thank you,

There is a setting for how long the light should stay on when manually turned on. This can now be indefinitely.
For motion detection, make sure your Arlo Lights Bridge is in the correct mode and that the rules for that mode are correctly set up. The default is for the light to stay on for 10 seconds.

Also, ensure that you're aware that the lights have a lux meter inside them. The lights will not turn on even if they detect motion if the ambient light is brighter than the threshold for them
