Smart Cameras POE?

Does Arlo make exterior POE powered cameras? I need to mount them in hard to access places and don’t want to deal with batteries. I have Cat 6 cable ready to be hooked up. I know solar panels are available.

Unfortunately, they do not.

I am trying to power my Arlos with POE since I have CAT7 cables where needed but no other power outlet. The Arlo extension cable ends in USB (assume 3.0???). So my question is if I have an adaptor like this one from Ubiquiti would I be able to power my Arlos?

The cameras can be quite finnicky about 3rd party chargers, so the only way to be sure is to try it.

Some do want 9 volts though, and this particular adapter is only delivering 5.
