We purcahsed the Arlo Go 2 to monitor where we store our boats.  I then purchased a Solar Panel charger, unit

VMA4600-10000S    This unit appears to work only with Arlo Pro, Pro 2 Arlo Go since it has a USB connector from the solar unit to the camera.   So, I assume I can not use those solar charges.

 

The Arlo Go 2 documentation states the Solar Panel Charger is model  VMA5600, but looking at the accessory listing for the Arlo Go 2, the Charger is VMA5600-20000S and is for Arlo Ultra  Pro 3 and Pro 4 cameras.  Before I order two new solar panels, I want to make 100% sure that the charger will work with the Arlo Go 2.   

The documentation in the Arlo Go 2 states that the solar charge panel connects using a 8 foot magnetic power cable, similar to how I charge the cameras themselves.

 

Can someone please steer me in the right direction so that I purchase the correct solar chargers.

Thank you

StephenB,

 

That's right. The VMA5600-20000S version is compatible with Arlo Go 2.

The Ultra, Pro 3, Pro 4, and Go 2 all use the same accessories.  So you need the VMA5600 

 

The VMA5600-20000S version isn't listed in the Go 2 FAQ ( https://kb.arlo.com/000062630/Arlo-Go-2-LTE-WiFi-Security-Camera-FAQs ), but it should be the right one (it replaced the older VMA5600-1000S).

 

@JamesC - can you confirm?  Also maybe add this correction to the Go 2 FAQ (which seems to have a typo here anyway, since I don't think the VMA5600-100S ever existed).
