I installed my Arlo Ultra last night outside.  I don't want the floodlight to be constantly on.  Is there a way to control the settings so the floodlight only comes on when there is movement and then turns off after a period of time?

Is it always on? It shouldn't be.

The light on the Ultra is tied to its recording. If you set a rule to record when there is m,ovement, the light will come on at the same time.

 

Unlike the Pro 3 Floodlight, you cannot control the light independently.

It's true that the Ultra floodlight is tied to motion. I don't want the floodlight on some of my cameras at all. You can turn the floodlight off in the camera settings; Device Settings, Video Settings, Low Light Settings, then toggle Spotlight On or Off.

Thank you - that appears to have worked.
