Longer Cables for wired connection to camera

As much as I love my Arlo Pro 2 cameras I truly dissaprove of the required wired connection for certain features especially the activity zones. If I am watching my yard I dont also need every car that goes down the street. But if wired connections will continue to be required please offer extended length cables. Wired connections are not convenient (hence the reason we al love this system) so please get some 25-50ft cables for these required connections. A normal cord that can be bought anywhere often does not fit the small opening you have created on the back of the camera. Almost as if was designed to only support your cord. Please NETGEAR, please.

Totally agree witht the previous comment. Also want to add that the Arlo Cloud price is very competitive and the shape of the camera together with it being wireless makes it very handy especially for "ad hoc" security / baby duties in new / temporary places.

BUT the vast majority of time I dont want to be changing the battery. What I need is a long cable which i plug in and never have to change the battery so a 25 foot long cable is a must. Where can I get one (actually about half a dozen of them)?

DEAR NETGEAR, I HAVE PURCHASED THE 4 ARLO PROS OVER INTETERNET IN THE UK, SO I AM PERFECTLY ENTITLED TO RETURN THEM NO QUESTIONS ASKED. IF I DO GET HOLD OF THE RECOMMENDED CABLE THEN I WILL TELL ALL MY FRIENDS THAT ARLO IS FAR BETTER THAN NEST, OTHERWISE I WILL CHANGE MY MIND AND TELL THEM THE OPPOSITE ... AND WILL RETURN THE CAMERAS, THANK YOU.

WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE?

I have tried other longer cables which would power my camera but not charge the battery... Pangda 20 ft Weatherproof Cable is the only one that does both... Best cable out there that I found...
