If you have a CVR Plan on your Arlo Ultra Camera does it require the spot light be on all evening?

I am considering getting a Continuous Video Recording (CVR) Plan for my Ultra Camera mounted by my front door.  However, I do not want the "spot light" to be illuminating my front porch all evening.  I realize you can disable the spot light entirely, but I would still like the spot light to work when motion is detected.  Is it possible to have the Utra Camera only activate the spot light when motion is detected if you have a CVR plan?

While I can't test this, I don't believe that the spotlight would be on at any time during CVR other than for a motion recording.

As jguerdat mentions, the Spotlight only activates when motion is detected. For more information, take a look here: How does the spotlight on my Arlo Ultra camera work?
