Camera: external power ????

[markambrose]

Hi All - I am looking at purchasing the Arlo Pro wireless camera  - to be installed outside.

I would like it to be connected to the house AC supply (as opposed to purely battery)  - as I have a power source nearby.. The web site says that it can be connected to mains power via the adaptor - but having just spoken to Arlo 'support' - they advided me against it as it would be exposed to the elements (!!) - 

I am somewhat confused by their advice - can anyone reassure me that - a) - it is compatible & will work with a standard UK 240V supply, and b) - that it will be ok in a reasonably sheltered position close to my front door !

Many thanks,

Mark

The PRO camera CAN be plugged into the AC all the time and run that way if wanted...AND Yes, the US adapter I have states 100-240v input so that shouldn't be a problem either.

The confusion prob comes from the AC cord... the current one is not outdoor rated an the weather proof one has not been released yet

Many thanks for that -
