Operating Your Power Adapter

Once installed and plugged in, the ALERTCAM AR125 Power Adapter provides continuous power to your compatible Arlo camera. This eliminates the need to frequently replace or recharge CR123A batteries.

The 25-foot (7.5m) flat cable allows for flexible placement of your camera, both indoors and outdoors, even at a distance from a power source. Its flat design facilitates routing through narrow spaces like window frames or door gaps.

This image shows an Arlo camera installed high on an interior wall, with the 25-foot power cable discreetly routed along the wall and down to a power outlet. This demonstrates the extended reach and flexible installation options provided by the long cable.

This image contrasts the use of the ALERTCAM power adapter with traditional CR123A batteries. The power adapter is shown with a green checkmark, highlighting benefits like continuous power, 24-hour operation, and saving time and money. CR123A batteries are shown with a red cross, indicating drawbacks such as regular charging/changing, the need to climb to access cameras, and wasted time and money.

Maintenance

The ALERTCAM AR125 Power Adapter features a weatherproof design, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The cable and adapter are designed to withstand various weather conditions.

To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Periodically inspect the cable and connections for any signs of wear or damage.
