https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/VMC3030-ARLO-camera-and-using-micro-usb-to-charge/m-p/1692425#M65972 <P>I have the VMC3030 cameras. Can I use the micro usb charging cables on the market to charge this ARLO camera? I don't want to waste my $$ if I can't. My camera has the micro connector inside the battery cover (little rubber covering). I found on etsy that someone fashioned a replacement cover in order to use a usb hook up and still be able to close the cover. All the cables I see are for the usb hookup outside the battery cover.</P> Mon, 22 Apr 2019 21:21:40 GMT Retired_Member 2019-04-22T21:21:40Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/VMC3030-ARLO-camera-and-using-micro-usb-to-charge/m-p/1692425#M65972 <P>I have the VMC3030 cameras.

The port was designed I believe as a flash access to the fw and not design to take the power load required to run the camera.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Do so if you want but at the same time be warned.</P> Sat, 20 Apr 2019 17:47:51 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/VMC3030-ARLO-camera-and-using-micro-usb-to-charge/m-p/1692451#M65974 TomMac 2019-04-20T17:47:51Z
