Flood light

Hello,

I have had a floodlight which has been working, but all of a sudden the sensor light has stopped working and it is also no longer recording to my library

Can you make a manual recording while livestreaming?

No, it will not let me record while live streaming the options does not come up, like my other cameras

Do you have a subscription for the camera?

I don't have a subscription, just reading that I do need this for the floodlight.

Can you also explain why the sensor light is not working any more is this for the same reason not having subscription?

Normally the floodlight comes on only when the camera records at night. With no subscription, the camera will only record if it is connected to a hub that has local storage.

I think you might be able to adjust the camera rules to only turn on the spotlight when motion is detected - I don't recall the exact steps. So look in the camera rules and see if that setting is there.
