What USB cable and power adapter can I use with Arlo camera

[Lau]

Hello, what micro USB cable and power adapter can I use with Arlo VMS3430 camera. I read a review on Amazon that there's a micro USB port inside the battery compartment of the camera

[TomMac]

yes, but that port was design NOT to run the cameras but more of a way to correct a bricked camera ( sw access )

Thanks TomMac for your answer. So you're saying the Arlo wire free camera can't be ran if a micro USB cable and power adapter is connected to the USB port in the battery compartment? If this is so, then I'm stuck with rechargeable batteries then.

Some have tried,... but the last I remember is that it worked with some issues .

Also the port really isn;t design to handle the current needed to run the camera and may go "poof" sometime after using it that way

PS... if you search, you will find a few persons ( with pics ) that have just wired small transformers to the cameras for power... it does work if done right.
