Arlo Q Power Adapter + Cable

bignicknicknick — Mon, 28 Nov 2016 05:19:10 GMT

I'm trying to reduce the amount of wires and clutter in my kitchen area and I'm wondering if I purchased a shorter cable and used and iPhone Power adapter if that would work properly?

I know Netgear recommends that we use their wires and power adapter but 10 feet of wire is a lot!

Yes, for the Q cameras that should work fine providing your adapter outputs at least 1.5a ( and the cable is the right micro usb )

look on the current adapter, it is printed there as to the current output...

Listed as 2.0a at 5v ( tho I have run it on 1.5 )

And everything runs properly? Why do they reccomend using in a 2.0a at 5v if it will work on 1.5?

I'm literally considering using the Nest Power Adapter with the Arlo Q (5v/1.4a) because the design allows the USB to plug into the top of the adapter to plug into tight places.

If it's not too much trouble - can you please reply with all the stats / numbers on the back of the power adapter that comes with the Arlo Q?
