Firmware feature request: Programmability of dusk/dawn feature on security lights

I purchased ARLO security lights to improve the night-time visibility and recording quality of my ARLO security camera.  However, their operaton is currently being hampered by the presence of other lights that exist in the same area, specifically due to the "dusk/dawn" feature that is hard-coded in the firmware.  That is, the lights are creating enough ambient light that the security lights are being fooled into thinking that it is daytime.

 

My simple request is to make the dusk/dawn feature a programmable option, instead of fixed operation.

 

While I certainly wouldn't want the security lights to turn on during daytime, I can alternatively use the Schedule option of Modes to achieve the same result.

 

I thank you for the consideration.

I just noticed a new setting for my Arlo security light - "Dusk to Down Sensor" (I think they mean Dusk to Dawn).  It displays a slider from Dark to Light for "When do you want to activate Arlo Security Light - Adjust the ambient light sensitivity to determine when your light will turn on."

 

This is in firmware 3.2.45 for my HW Version AL1101r3 security light.
