Review on Arlo Power Cables 10FT and Charger: Weatherproof Indoor/Outdoor Solution for Arlo Pro, Pro 2 & Go Cameras by Mike Ogunlana

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This cable/charger works.

Revain has a range of different power cords and chargers for indoor and outdoor use. I've probably skimmed most of them and looked at the reviews. There seems to be some confusion as to what is actually required to power and charge Arlo cameras. I found this on the Arlo website support forum (I hope you never have to look up support information): The camera requires two different voltages, a lower voltage for the camera and a higher voltage to charge the battery. Also, the camera needs a specific cable connector to provide dual voltages. I don't remember the exact fork type, and none of the sellers claim to have that type (other than weather protection). The charger must be Qualcomm 2.0 or equivalent (it provides two voltages). I have an Arlo Pro 2 tri-chamber system. I bought three of these cables/chargers. They were neatly packaged in a small box (each cable/charger). The box includes a charger, a 20ft indoor/outdoor cord, and a small pouch with some very pretty nails to carry the cord anywhere. Charger Qualcomm 3.0. I checked the cable/charger before installation. I shut down the camera battery to 80% then removed and then connected the camera. Yes, the camera earned, everything is fine. I put the battery back in the camera and powered it for a while. The battery is fully charged, the phone app shows the charging icon and 100%. With external power, you can set up up to three zones per camera to look for and ignore motion. All in all, the slightly higher price for a Qualcomm wall mount and cable clamps is worth it. give an update after 6 or months according to this rating. I'm giving this 5 stars for now.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Nothing

Works. The other brand I tried failed twice. This one keeps the camera battery charged.
