Or does that the battery?</P> Fri, 22 Apr 2022 16:13:33 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Can-these-be-plugged-into-power-at-all-times/m-p/1860689#M54385 RobinH101 2022-04-22T16:13:33Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Can-these-be-plugged-into-power-at-all-times/m-p/1860717#M54395 I believe the cameras can be externally powered with battery installed, the arlo chargers will trickle charge the batteries as well as deep charge if required. I have pro2 with same configuration for last 3 years using original batteries with no issues.
