Can I remove the battery and run the Arlo Go directly from the wall charger?

Is the jack on the Arlo Go that the charger connects to waterproof?

yes, it will run on ac.

If I remember right , NO... the ac cable into the Go is NOT weather resistance.

You could if wanted of course use some form of sealant, but that's up to you.

I can use silicone like I did on my Go Pro. Will it work without the battery? If I connect it to a 24 hour timer that reboots it once a day will it come back online without me having to be there to do anything?

Thanks

It should come back automatically.... but I would test it first before placement

So, yes it runs on ac, but the question was, will it run on ac without the battery in?
