Purchased the 4 camera Arlo Pro 2 kit... It only comes with one indoor dual voltage power supply (9VDC for charging, 5VDC for operaton after battery is charged) for the camera(s).
In order to prebuffer record, the Pro 2 cameras need to be plugged in. Netgear does not sell just the USB cube and cables individually... This is a little ridiculous that I can only get one power supply required for prebuffering and motion zones.
I upgraded from the Pro to the Pro 2 for the prebuffering and zoning capability.
Netgear needs to make the dual voltage USB camera power supplies available for purchase now that they have released the Pro 2 cameras which require them to be able to use the features of the new cameras. A standard USB power (cube) will NOT work properly, it will only operate the camera, not charge the battery as the battery level discharges.
Any ideas on where to get a suitable dual voltage replacement power supply so that I can keep the Pro 2 cameras plugged in and buffering?

There's a warranty risk but any Qualcomm Quick Charge-capable charger, such as those for recent Samsung phones, will work fine. Just be sure to use a quality charger (they don't cost that much more than the cheap, suspect ones) and quick charge capable cables (they use heavier gauge wires).
