Spotlight activating when unarmed

Canopy — Thu, 05 Nov 2020 08:42:46 GMT

The spotlights on my Arlo Pro 3 cameras are activating when the system ins unarmed. Quite distracting when getting up in the middle of the night to grab a snack. Cannot find a setting to control this.

Canopy,

Are you using any custom modes or third party integrations (IFTTT, Alexa, Google Assistant)?

Is this intermittent or does it always happen?

I was having the same issue with two of my five cameras. I realized that those cameras was connected to a power supply so I tried disconnecting the power which resulted in that they started to act normal again.

So it looks like that if the cameras are given constant power they behave this way. Turns the spotlight on and off every 4-5 second. I hope there's a solution to this.. It's a bit frustrating..
