Did you know that the Reolink RLC511-WA video surveillance cameras as well as many other Reolink camera models are equipped with powerful LED spotlights? They turn on automatically at night when they detect any kind of movement, or according to special settings, triggered by a person or vehicle coming in their field of view. In today’s article I will teach you how to schedule Reolink cameras spotlight and keep the lights always on from the moment it gets dark outside, without the need for movement in the field of view.
