I need to know which extension cord works with the pan tilt camera. See the choices you offer below

25 ft. Essential Outdoor (2nd Gen) Charging Cable  

 or  the

25 ft. Essential Outdoor (1st Gen) Charging Cable

It was introduced with the third generation cameras (2025) and has a USB-C connector. 

It is shipped with the correct charger (depending on whether you purchase indoor or outdoor).  Either way,  you don't need to purchase it.

The Arlo outdoor charging cables for 1st and 2nd gen are not compatible with the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Indoor camera. At this time, we do not offer an official Arlo branded extended length USB-C indoor charging cable. We recommend using the cable that is included with the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Indoor camera.
