    Highly essential accessory for our Arlo floodlight

    This long-enough mag charger is a highly essential accessory for our Arlo Pro 3 floodlight camera as it provides easy charging option and power source for it and other Arlo cameras using the same magnetic charging options. It's little expensive but investing in a smooth-sailing camera system and accessories is not a bad idea either. I hate installing equipment only to take them out and down once in a while to charge or do routine maintenance stuff with it. I'm a one and done type of guy who's willing to deal with tech stuff only as needed lol. P.S.: Don't confuse this with the shorter indoor mag charger when shopping around. As things stand at the time of this writing, Arlo only sells this 25 ft mag charger for outdoor use. Even on their website they don't have other options.

    arlo Cameras work best with constant charging power Their ideal spots are outside at mounted at the top of a window Where they can have one of these power cords running ing to a wall plug,this way they capture lots of footage, Yes they have to be mushed in a closed window leading outside Be they can handle it, these are tough cords, Arlo cameras do their best when they're not on live when I dart away to play games they pick up alot of movement Yes they buffer after shots that can be annoying but usually when I wait until the movement indicator goes from orange to black, I can see in play back 2 m what just happened ; A fed ex driver, A jogger, Birds invading the cats food , A crook that sees the camera and keeps it moving!

    Bought these for my driveway facing Arlo pro 4 XL, decided to get these as solar panel accessory wasn't providing enough juice. Working well through cold snaps and downpours. So far so good.

    The solar was spotty. Decided to try power. Needed extra work for the power but totally worth it. No more ladders to replace battery. I'm not suppose to use them any more????

    Waited for it to be $10 before buying. Long cord, does the job 9/10 times. Around 15F degrees it will not charge until it warms up but not a big issue yet, we will see how it works during the entire winter. When temps were under Zero my other Arlo cameras would not power on by battery, but the camera plugged in continued to work.

    I was hesitant to buy battery operated cameras but this closed the deal for me. I am able to charge every camera (6 of them around the house) with this cord. I just use the magnet side to attach to the camera and walk the plug to a nearby outlet. There is no re-positioning or forgetting to put the camera back. Plus, when its charging I don't have to shut the camera off because I moved it to a counter charger and I don't lose my security since the camera operates while charging.

    Must have for Arlo 4K camera in high hit location

    Must have item for Arlo Camera’s in any location picking up traffic. Forget the solar panel if you want to use all the features of the camera that gets a lot of hits. Go right to this cable. Cable is long enough to reach almost any outdoor plug. I ran this one from garage and snaked it through garage door insulation trim up to the camera. Zip tide the few feet extra I had. No more power issues! Do yourself a favor and go right to this solution. One other note. Here in New England it gets too cold for the cameras to charge. They quit at about 29 degrees for charging. This power keeps them working even if they won’t charge. Think of the Arlo battery as backup power only and you will very satisfied as the Arlo solution becomes set it and forget it maintenance wise. No worries about turning on all the features which makes Arlo the great product it is. You will be frustrated if you don’t implement this product.

    This 25-foot Outdoor Magnetic Charging Cable for my Arlo Ultra Security Cameras is a must have for me! I hate climbing a ladder to take down the camera to charge it every time the battery gets low. Where my Arlo Ultra is located there is no power outlet nearby, so this 25-foot magnetic charging cable is just what I need to keep the camera powered on constantly! The quality of the video appears a little better with it constantly plugged into power. My only complaint is that I feel that it is way overpriced! Just wish it didn’t cost as much, or that they would go on sale periodically! It would be a 5-star review if it were not for the high price!

    This magnetic OUTDOORS charging cable works great with the Arlo Pro 3. It’s a bit long at 25’ but I just rolled it up to shorten and keep off the ground. It is also quite pricy for a charger that is used occasionally!

    Arlo Power Cord

    Not certain why a power cord needs to be reviewed, but okay. It is 25' foot long and fits the Arlo Pro 3 and 4 cameras. You plug it into power at one end and connect to the camera at the other end, not difficult at all. It sure would be nice though if all electronic devices could use the same cord. This cord is an extra $50 and does not come with the camera. You can purchase solar for $60.

    An expensive needed accessory for Arlo

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you do not have any solar chargers for the Arlo, this cable is must if you do not want to be removing the Arlo batteries to recharge them (removing the batteries always cause the camera's position to be slightly off kilter. The cable allows you to charge the camera by magnetically attaching to the bottom of the camera (like the Apple Magsafe chargers). The normally supplied cables are too short and always disconnect from the charger because of the weight of a needed extension cable to make it attach to the camera. The big gripe is that Arlo has overpriced the cable at $50 for a 25-ft cable that looks like it only costs a couple of dollars to make.

    This magnetic charging cable is fantastic. Have it outside in back hooked up to my new PS 5 Pro camera. Keeps battery at 100 all the time. Have now ordered another one. This is built to last. On good gosh, this is long. 25".

    Perfect. I was able to run these chords from the camera to outlets within the house with no problem. The batteries on the cameras are decent and didn't want to have to keep taking them off to recharge because my cameras are in high traffic areas and I decided to go with continuous recording on one and it needed a continuous charge. The length is more than adequate for the job with more to spare in case I need to make adjustments to where I would like to put the camera.

    This is the OEM cable. It cost more but will last five times longer than the less expensive, cheaper versions manufactured by 3rd parties.

    I purchased several ARLO Cameras and have the battery charger and a spare battery. This cable is a snap, it is magnetic and 25 ft long. It keeps the battery in the camera fully charged all the time. This is the way to go if you have your camera mounted up high and a plug within 25 ft. Works great!

    I was tired of having to recharge/replace the battery on a camera that sees lots of movement on an almost daily basis. This cord keeps the battery charged constantly - I should have bought this a long time ago! Although I think it's a bit overpriced for what it is...

    Originally I had no intentions of getting this accessory for my outdoor Floodlight Pro 3. However, I quickly realized that based on location, it would be worth it alone for ease of swapping out batteries (purchasing more) or waiting for the current one to recharge. Not only is the cord length more than enough in length, it’s actually quite robust and has helped up to strong winds and rain with zero issues. The magnetic clasp to the underside of the camera is also strong and has not come loose either.
