What are the power requirements for the Arlo Essentials Spotlight Camera
Hello,
I currently have an Arlo 2 watching over my side gate. It is connected via a long 30' power cable to a QuickCharge 3.0 compatible Power adapter in the garage, and works fine. I would like to replace it with the Arlo Essentials Spotlight to add light to the area without having to replace my whole hub setup with the more powerful cameras.
Will the Arlo Essentials Spotlight be compatible with the existing setup?
What are the power adapter requirements? 5V 2a? 7.5V 1.5a?
I would assume it's along the lines of 5V, Xa, given pretty much everything USB is like this, but if anyone knows...

Hi.. Essential Spotlight Camera is compatible with VMB4000, 4500, 4540 and 5000 or alternatively can connect directly to your home WiFi network (2.4 GHz). In terms of continuous power, Arlo Essential Solar Panel VMA3600 is the official charging accessory for wire-free peace of mind. This will be shortly available on Arlo.com and subsequently at other major sellers. Your existing charging cable may not be compatible for a secure fit with the microUSB interface, so we do not recommend it.
