      Since i switched to Reolink from Arlo around a year ago i been loving it and never had a issue, up to 4 cams, 1 doorcam and a chime so far.
      However with one of the latest updates to the app (current version 4.41.0.4.20231023) i noticed that i lost the manual button to turn on light/floodlight on the E1 Outdoor. Currently use it in back garden and loved that i was able to use it as a outdoor light when needed and not only when it detects movement, because it will be a nightmare to set up privacy filter so it dont turn on if in certain positions where it may be able to spot a neighbor.

      In short: Bring back manual switch for floodlight, it worked perfectly before compared to now, where i have to spend hours tweaking it to try and get it to turn on for me and not when it spots a spider, moth or wind gust.

          @calcanius_661775128809567 I have the E1 OD and have the spotlight icon on the top on v4.41. So first get the UID from the Info menu and have the credentials (user/password). Then go to the settings of the camera and scroll down and click on delete. Then add the camera using the UID and the credentials. Check whether you get the spotlight icon.

            Did try as suggested. Just to clarify i am referring to the android app, not the windows app. Can find the "Light switch" on windows, but it is gone on android, as seen on picture taken below.
            Top options : Mute - Menu to display multiple screens
            Bottom options: Pause/play - Screenshot - record - resolution - Microphone - pan/zoom and Playback

              @calcanius_661775128809567 Now better. Yes they have removed it from landscape in the last few versions. It's only available in portrait mode. I will report it to support. Please report it too.
