How do I charge my Arlo Ultra 2, Ultra, Pro 5S, Pro 4, Pro 3, or Go 2 camera with the magnetic charger?
Last updated: 08.01.2025
The magnetic charging cable provides easy snap-on charging with the ability to charge your camera while recording. Simply align the metal contacts and allow the magnets to snap into place.
Note: The magnetic charging cable (VMC5000C) that was included with your camera is for indoor use only. If you wish to charge your camera outside, you must use the Outdoor Magnetic Charging Cable (VMC5600C). The magnetic charging cable also works with the XL Rechargeable Battery and Housing.
When you attach the magnetic charging cable to your Arlo camera, make sure it is free from dirt and debris to ensure a safe and secure connection. If you encounter an error or the camera is not charging, wipe the metal contacts on the charging cable and camera housing with isopropyl alcohol and a lint free cloth.
