I am looking at buying a Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera to use in my house with an existing Arlo Pro 3 set-up and was wondering if you can turn the spotlight off. Since it's in the house I don't want a spotlight going off when I get in the middle of the night. 

Thanks

HI @DMOA

 

Yes you can. To activate or change the Arlo camera's spotlight behavior:

  1. Launch the Arlo app or log in to my.arlo.com.
  2. Tap or click Settings > My Devices.
  3. Select your Arlo camera.
  4. Tap or click Video Settings > Low Light Settings.
  5. Tap or click the slider next to Spotlight.
    You can move the slider under Brightness to adjust the brightness of the spotlight.
    You can also change the behavior of the spotlight to Constant, Flash, and Pulsate.
