topic Solar Panel connection in Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight

Solar Panel connection

I have just bought and installed two solar panels and two Pro3 Floodlight cameras, but the connections are not compatible. The end of the wire from the solar panel appears to be an indoor charger that goes into the actual camera and not the magnetic one. It’s not the right shape to fit in the space in the casing, not magnetic and nowhere to plug it in to the casing.
It’s not like the one in the Arlo installation video.
Have they been manufactured with the wrong connector?

No, you just bought the wrong panels.

You need either the VMA5600 (white) or the VMA5600B (black).

Thanks - of all the research I did, it wasn’t apparent. Clearly I missed something. 🙄
