Type of review

Terrible cable design, wasn't aware when ordering, if you look at the product image you can see the cable is shaped like an "L" making it impossible to ARLO to anything to attach. Also 1 of the two cables I ordered DOA! In addition, a barley fork is inserted into the back of the Arlo. This cable is a piece of junk, avoid it at all costs. I've attached an image comparing this cable to the cable that comes with the Arlo.

Pros
  • Nice appearance
Cons
  • Negative gift

The fork is not tight; does not stay; does not load. Useless.

This is a great way to never have to charge your Arlo Pro battery again. If it worked. But that's not the case. The connector is never stuck in the camera and disconnects in seconds. I checked to see if this could be the end of the camera connection by plugging in the cable that came with my Arlo Pro. It's stuck and loading. I started the return process back in March and only found out today that I have never returned an item. So I'm stuck. On the other hand, if I run out of rope, I can alwaysโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design

Update from original rating

Update 7/14/18: I needed another external connector for an additional camera I bought after installing the original security system. When the order arrived there was no AC plug in the box, just a 16 inch cord. I'm using the connector that came with the camera with a Wasserstein cable and it's working well so far. My concern is that the plug is not designed for outdoor use. So I'm reducing my rating to 3 stars. I bought 6 of these external AC connectors for my Arlo Pro 2 security cameras. Theyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • No performance

Great cable for changing Arlo camera settings

This cable was the answer to all my Arlo problems. Apparently I had to change the settings on my Arlo Pro 2 camera frequently, and as any owner of this system knows, the basic settings can only be changed when the camera has AC power. Since my camera is installed in a very awkward place, it was extremely difficult to change some of the settings. However, if you use this weatherproof cable, all these problems are for nothing. It fits snugly, has a relatively thick cable, and ends with a USBโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Bad experience

Note the short lifespan depending on usage and installation.

*updated 08/16/2018* Do not buy this cable. It lasts two months. I'm on cable #3 and one doesn't last as long. waste of money. At first I liked it, but later found that it wasn't working anymore. I had to drill a huge hole just to run a 90 degree wire through the wall, which of course makes sense, so don't complain about it. I am complaining that after drilling the hole, inserting the wire and filling the hole, the product actually stopped working after 2 weeks. The charger works perfectlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Too long to wait

Didn't work but twice!. But the new one works.

Charged my Arlo Pro once. The battery failed to charge on the second try. After reconnecting the camera, I was able to charge the battery. When I unplugged the cable from the camera, the whole connector fell apart. There may be an error in the assembly of this cable. Whatever the case, this cable isn't worth the time you spend deciding to buy it. Follow-up: I emailed Wasserstein immediately after this review was posted. A few hours later I received a notification from them that a new cable hadโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Quality Cables in Security Camera Cables

This cable powers your Arlo Pro with the wall adapter that came with your camera and securely attaches when not using an official outdoor mount. However, with an external mount, the round fit around the screw-on portion of the external mount interferes with the cable connector, preventing a secure connection from being obtained. Even when I thought the connector was firmly inserted into the camera, it wasn't (the camera wasn't charging). I really didn't want to keep trying to plug the camera in

Pros
  • Many fit
Cons
  • This is driving me crazy
