Arlo Go 2 - powered by USB

Can the new Arlo Go 2 LTE cameral be powered by USB? I have outbuildings that have no sun for solar and dont want to visit to recharge batteries - but have 120v and PoE (can inject if needed).

No USB or PoE possible but you can use the indoor or outdoor chargers, as appropriate, that have the magnetic power connectors.

Appreciate the input on using the charger.

Does anyone know if the charger can be permanently left connected?

Thank you!

Mike

It can be.

@JamesC or @ShayneS : Can you confirm that the outdoor magnetic charger is compatible? It's not listed as compatible here:

Since it charges at 9 volts (unlike the solar panel and indoor chargers), it would be useful to know for sure that it will work - and of course update the website if it is incorrect.
