Review on πŸ”Œ 25ft/7.6m Weatherproof Outdoor Charging Cable + Quick Charge Adapter for Arlo Ultra/Ultra 2/Pro 3/Pro 4 (Black) – Not for Arlo Essential Spotlight by Omar Svagera

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works outdoors but is not waterproof

I bought 2 of these as I'm waiting for the release of the Arlo Ultra outdoor power cords. Ultras came out in March, and now it's June and there are still no outdoor power cords! It was one of my few options. They work except they are not waterproof. I had the camera drilled outside with a hole through the house inwards so the USB connector part was always inside and dry. The external magnetic connector is not a full connector as the Arlo product looks. It worked for a week until we had a heavy downpour and it stopped working. The arlo app reports that the charger has experienced a "power failure". The other "outdoor" charger still works as it is under a canopy out of the rain. I bet if the other one gets wet it won't work either. I will buy the special Arlos even if they cost twice as much when they come out. They should work as advertised.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Unreliable
