Does the Arlo Pro 2 work with the Solar panel, and if so does it then support the 3-second look back?

yup, works w/ the solar panel. however to get all of the features such as activity zones and CVR, it will require more power than the solar panel provides.

yes for charging but not the record all the time ( 3 sec add on to a trigger event ) as this draws more current than the panel can supply...Solar will keep up the battery tho.

It seems like this is a huge shortcoming of the camera. A huge reason people use Arlo cameras is because they are wire free. I don't see any reason to buy the new Arlo Pro 2 vs the older Pro if someone is using wireless since we can't use the wire only features. Is there any reason to buy the Pro 2 if using wireless?

It would be a huge incentive to purchase the solar panel if we could use the new wired features of the Pro 2 while plugged into the solar panel.

Thanks
