Power adapter for Camera USB cable
The external camera 2 comes with a cable with male USB connectors. But it doesn't come with a power charger/adapter. What kind of adapter do I need to buy? Is it a standard Apple power adapter, or will something less expensive work. BTW this charger/adaptor will be expose to the weather. How much is that a factor for what I buy?

@GaddBonham Are you referring to the longer Outdoor Camera Power Cable that you plug into the Outdoor Camera itself? Or the short, black cable you plug directly into the camera's battery?
The Outdoor Camera Power Cable should come with a power adapter. If one is missing in your box, please reach out to our Support team so they can assist you with getting one.
But if you are referring to the shorter cable, that does not come with an adapter. Any adapter that has an output of 5 volts and 2.5 amps (or higher) is compatible with the cable—like the standard Apple adapter.

@GaddBonham Let me add that the 25 ft power cable has a USB-A male end that will fit into a power adapter with the specs listed by simplisafe_admin below. Also note any power adapter with those specs will work, Apple or Android.
