Hi , I have an arlo pro and I also have a solar charger that was bought for a different brand of camera. the wire seems to fit perfectly so would anyone know if it is possible to use the solar panel with my arlo pro without problems? thanks

It's probably unlikely that the other party's solar panel connection is water-tight against the Arlo Pro body. Even Netgear has had problems making the connection waterproof. I'd stick to an Arlo one so your warranty is intact but if you're not worried about that, perhaps use something to make the connection as waterproof as possible
