I purchased solar panels for my pro camera just days before they emailed me telling me my cameras are going to be obsolete and no longer supported. My question is can I use the solar panel vma4600-10000s with  pro 5s or any of the other wireless cameras?

vma4600 solar panels are designed specifically to be used with Arlo Pro and Arlo Pro 2 cameras. They will not work with Arlo Pro 5 cameras as the Pro 5 uses a magnetic charging solution.

 

It's important to note that the end of life policy does not mean your cameras will no longer work, it simply means support and some features for these cameras will become limited once the end of life date is reached.
