If it is preferred to not have the spot light come on, is that possible in settings?

Hi

Yes, you can customize your Essential Spotlight Camera's light settings to define whether you want the spotlight or infrared LEDs to turn on when dark.

Please refer to this KB for more information on the settings: https://kb.arlo.com/000062172/How-does-the-spotlight-on-my-Arlo-camera-work
