What is the Arlo Pro 2 Base Station Power Supply Specs?

Moobin — Tue, 19 Feb 2019 23:10:36 GMT

We have moved and cannot identify the correct powersupply for the BASE STATION of the Arlo Pro 2 anymore (NOT for the cameras) May I ask what the specification (voltage and ampere) for this powersupply is. Mains is 220 V.

Thank you very much for your help

The output of the adapter for the base is 12v/1.5a, DC center positive

All I have seen are coaxial plugs

Thanks TomMac !

Do you think it is possible that 12V/2.5A may be used as well ? I have a powersupply suspiciously labeled "Netgear" that provides just this. But I am a bit reluctant to use it now that you have said it must be 1.5A. If I blow up the base station I am into some trouble for I had to reimport the Arlo to Thailand which would result in significant costs and I would rather find a powersupply with 12V/1.5A - however difficult that might be.

2.5A is just what the supply CAN supply, not what the base needs. That should work fine without blowing anything up.
