Can I use a Arlo Q Plus PoE adapter on the Arlo Pro 2?

Can I use a Arlo Q Plus PoE adapter on the Arlo Pro 2. I have PoE ethernet cables going already run throught the attic to some old cameras. I would like to power the Arlo Pro 2 with PoE and not AC power plug. My data switch is a Netgear GS110TP.

No.

the POE adapter uses the USB 3.0 micro connector which is wider than the standard USB micro connector used on the Pro 2 and Pro. See image.

Also, there are 3rd party POE adapters which do convert to the appropriate usb micro connector, but I don’t think any of them have the Arlo seal of approval. You would be taking your chances. But if they meet spec, the chances might be good.
