Can anyone advise on how to power an Arlo Pro 3 camera from a lighting circuit? I have no outdoor mains (13 amp) supply available, but I have an outdoor lighting circuit (5 amp) to which I could connect. Unfortunately, the Arlo power cable has the power adapter built into a 13 amp plug (British 3-pin). Any suggestions about how to connect it to my lighting circuit?

Any way you look at it, you can't directly power the camera without an adapter. It would seem that you need to add and outlet near the camera to plug the outdoor cable into. Some folks have resorted to plugging into an indoor outlet and drilling a hole large enough to allow the magnetic connector to pass through. If you do this, I'd suggest sealing the hole once satisfied.
