Good concept Not strong

I bought these 3 packs in September 2019 and I liked them at first. I first installed 2 of these in cameras that were hard to access and kept changing batteries, one of the power supplies failed and I had to replace it with a spare I had. I had to move one of the cameras and, knowing the tape was fragile, I handled it carefully. I installed it where needed and routed the cable. After that I plugged it in and nothing. I checked everything and looked at the camera and when I touched the tape it fell off. So I installed the extra one I had and carefully reinstalled it and right away it didn't work and when I retested the tape was partially torn. As much as I love this concept, I'll stick with batteries as long as I see them come up with something better. I do not recommend anyone to purchase these items.

Pros
  • Good quality weatherproof cable: The FFC cable is very thin but resists bending and stretching, the head fits very snugly into the Arlo chamber, which is necessary for it to easily fit through the machine, which at the same time would happen
Cons
  • be protected from atmospheric influences and constantly charged The list will be long.
