Foscam spotlight feature activation

I just purchased a Foscam V8P to replace a failing camera. It has a spotlight feature that allows night videos to record in color. But the only way I can see to activate is to put it on a schedule so it is on all night. I would like to have it turn on with a trigger or alert.

Has anyone been able to figure this out? I already looked at the Foscam IPCamera CGI User Guide-Allplatforms-2018.pdf but it doesn't address this.

Never mind. I found I need to activate it in the Foscam app.

Can you add a screengrab to show the next person who asks this question ?
