In my area the temperature is often below -20c during winter, so i get a message that the camera needs to warm up.
Will it help to have permanent power supplied to the camera?
I figured the “error” is a battery protection

No... the battery will not charge below 32F but the cameras limit is -4F ( -20c ). When the cameras get below this temp they will shut down to protect camera and battery.
You ( if you have ac power to the camera ) might try and pull the battery to see if it operates lower.... some have.
( funny but the original Arlo HD cameras I"ve had to -10F without issues )

There's a possibility that running permanent power will generate some heat in the camera enclosure, but who knows if it will be enough to cope with your temperature extremes?
