I have three outside motion detecting security lights that are already in use at my house. They were hardwired years ago and are mounter to outside weatherproof electrical boxes. The kind that you find at Home Depot or Lowes:
Commercial Electric 3/4 in. 5-Holes 4 in. Round Weatherproof Box, Gray-WRB575G - The Home Depot
Can I simply mount my Arlo Ultra 2 cameras to those existing boxes as they already have power to them? I have been looking through the Arlo accessories and mounting options, but I do not see anything. This cannot be a unique use case.

To be clear, you can't wire the cameras directly to the power in the box. You have to use a USB charger for the cameras (5VDC, 2A).

I am thinking about pulling the old junction boxes off and then just installing these:
I would mount them in a weatherproof outlet box and then just be done with it. Plug the USB in and then magnetically attach the camera.
It simply makes no sense to deal with charging batteries when there is power right there.
