Essential Camera VMC2030 Flashing Randomly at Night

[brianpangburn]

I have an Arlo Model VMC2030 - H8 serial#A7D51B7AA01D8 with firmware 1.090.35.1_30_5159f0e.

Since the firmware update (Nov2024) every night (at random various times) the spotlight rapidly flashes 10-12 times. It did not do this prior to the last firmware update. I rebooted my base station and that did not seem to help. Your online forum does not mention an issue like this. Can you help me? As far as I can tell it is just this one camera but have not been outside all night to watch the others.....

Is the spotlight set to flash when the camera detects motion?
