Easy Way To Power Up Your Arlo Pro Cameras

[@elmarealtor]

Thank you. I got my arlo pro 2 about 7 years ago and also bought solar panels for each differently so I don’t have to keep charging them. Three of them are at 100% batteries but one is in 1%. We don’t have much sunlight for days now. My question to you is, does this type of weather(no sunlight & rainy days) causing the solar panel not charging? This is the first time happening since I bought this 7 years ago. Also, this one that’s in a low battery is kind of hidden from a direct sunlight too.

Thank you for this video. I saw in some other places where people hardwired their cameras.

[@ChardTheTechGuy]

This is the easy way, unless you really must have it that way. Quick tip: if you are going to install cameras outside get the solar panel to self-recharge the batteries.

Hello, do they make a solar panel to keep Arlo pro 2 cams charged?

[@camshaft262]

Where is the link to wire

[@jorgeluis2304]

That cable is not available on Amazon anymore. Do you know where can I get it or find other brand that’s available

[@ChardTheTechGuy]

Try these amzn.to/3T2WBSi

I somehow lost my charger. I wants to hardwire my arlo pro camera (inside & outside,, with the plugs inside) It says I need a 9v plug in adapter but yet every charger I find as a replacement for my arlo pro is 5v. My regular phone chargers won't work at home. Can you help me?

[@johnnyangel57]

Bro how come my joints aren’t holding a charge? I got 1/6 that’s charged and is telling me the percent. The other 5 shut down right after I un plug???

[@ChardTheTechGuy]

That's a good question - maybe the charger is not providing enough juice to the cameras. Try an more powerful charger - that's what I use. ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKGbdIZ9bbaqiK8 )

Same here!

Thank you Mr. Tech. In my humble opinion, vandal resistant Dome POe cameras is the best solution. Arlo can be knocked off with a stick. :)

[@ChardTheTechGuy]

Yes I agree, hopefully it will capture the person who did.

TLDW: get a longer cable. link in the description.

[@maribelzuniga7279]

Can you make a video on how to mount those cameras?

[@ChardTheTechGuy]

I sure can - just add it to my list & it will be up soon.

[@maribelzuniga7279]

@@ChardTheTechGuy thanks. A lot of people are using velcro. But I paid too much $ for these cameras to use that.

[@ChardTheTechGuy]

@@maribelzuniga7279 I will show exactly what I use

[@maribelzuniga7279]

@@ChardTheTechGuy will that be posted soon?

[@MrSergio1159]

thanks for the information, will this cable work with any USB charger? I notice when I bought my Arlo cameras that when I connected the Arlo cable to a regular USB charger that the cameras would not charge.

[@ChardTheTechGuy]

Yes the cable will work with any charger, but the charger minimum pecs have to be "Output Voltage: 5V 2A 10W"

[@petra7510-i6s]

You should have added if you have the camera outsideand they're pulling the cord in and out of the back doesn't help it either mine broke off

[@ChardTheTechGuy]

Sorry to hear that, I haven't had that problem within the last 3 years.

Thanks for sharing, what do you think about using solar panel instead? I see arlo sell a pack of them, not sure how well performing they are
