Is the Arlo Outdoor power adapter compatible with my Arlo Go 2 camera? I want to not use the battery when the weather is below 0 and plug it in to a power source.

You can find a list of compatible accessories within the Arlo Go 2 FAQ here: Arlo Go 2 LTE / WiFi Security Camera FAQs

 

I've updated the posts above to reflect the appropriate outdoor charging cable for Arlo Go 2.

 

I've also made a request for the web page to be updated to reflect this information.

@JamesC : can you clarify what charger is needed?  BTW, the accessories page for shop.arlo.com doesn't have a filter for the Go 2.  It'd be great if Arlo fixed that.

Is this a verified solution? Support has no idea what I am asking for. The solar panel does not provide enough power in cold weather. We want to plug the camera into electricity. is the VMA5600C-100NAS the solution?

Sorry to be obtuse, StephenB, are you saying that the VMA5600C-100NAS terminates at one end magnetically to connect to the Go 2, and the other end terminates in a USB connector? And, the VMA5600C-100NAS comes with a charging block that plugs into standard electricity socket??

No, the outdoor charger is a sealed unit. There's a wall wart with a permanent sealed connection and a magnetic connector on the other. It plugs into any standard 120VAC outlet that has sufficient room to accommodate the size of the wall wart.

This seemed to be a good solution. I connected the adapter to a camera while we still had it in our house. The battery was charging and when I removed the battery the camera worked also. We now have the camera outside, connected to the adapter and electricity. The battery says 29% and does not look like it is charging but we still get a picture. I have not yet removed the battery to see if it will operate on electricity only. Our temps for next week are to be below zero. Our battery did function at -12 last week

Update- Our battery has charged to 60% in a few hours, so this is a good adapter to use with electricity. I ordered mine on Amazon since Arlo was out of stock.
