So maybe wait until January 31st? Amazon seems to be the only one with an actual date.

OMG just looked at Amazon. Release date changed on the accessories. Primarily MARCH!

This is a joke. I will have one very short cable to charge 4 cameras until March! Only the solar panel release date stayed in January. I will never try the solar panel again after my prior experience. Solar panel still sitting outside on fence unused b/c it never worked.

Why would Arlo release these cameras when the accessories weren’t ready for the market?!?

Release dates on Amazon:

Magnetic Mounts 2/19

indoor charging cable 3/29

outdoor charging cable 3/21

extra batteries 3/29

dual charger 3/20

solar panel 1/31

The Ultra solar panels are very different with a permanently attached cable on the panel itself plus the magnetic connection to the camera. The issues of moisture infiltration of the past should be solved.
