Hi there,

I tried to look in the manual/tech specs but couldn't find what it is.

Can anyone help me find out what the thing above the camera lens  of the Arlo Baby?

We have a security concern. My wife said that it shone white light last night at 3am and it turned off on its own. 

I looked into the app and manuals and there's no telling what that is. I can't even manually turn it on myself. 
I know it's not the LED Status Light that shines Blue, Orange or Purple. I know it's not the Night Light on the back of the camera that can be customised through the app.
I don't know what that is just above the camera lens.

 

Can someone please enlighten us?

Product: Arlo Baby

Model: ABC1000

Firmware: 1.13.2.1_91_8c8c8ff_44ab9bd

This is an Ambient light sensor, it can not flash or provide illumination. There is a chance the camera rebooted and clicked after a recent software update.
