Can someone provide a picture and dimensions of the power adapter that is part of the 25 ft. Outdoor Magnetic Charging Cable (VMA5600C)? The image on the online store does not show the power adapter and I can't find any documentation.

 

Context: I will need to have outdoor plugs installed where there are currently electrical junction boxes on the sides of the house (originally intended for outdoor lighting). I need to work with an electrician to design the best, most compact, least obtrusive solution. The Arlo cameras would replace my existing Ring cameras. Ring sells mounting kits intended specifically for such installations, but Arlo does not. On that note, does anyone have suggestions for a clean, aesthetic installation?

Have you looked at the Wired Floodlight?

It is hard-wired directly into an existing circular junction box.

The US adapter is 1.5" wide (across the plug), by 2" high  by 1.25" deep.  This is measured with a ruler, so might not be exact.

Thank you for the picture and dimensions of the plug, StephenB.

 

And thanks for the suggestion about the Wired Floodlight. I'll take a look. However, I was hoping for 4K for all the cameras I get, some battery and some with wired or plug-in power. For house mounted, I'm upgrading from Ring Spotlight Cam Wired. I might wait for an Arlo 4K Wired option, if I knew one was coming soon.
