I have Arlo units around my house in various locations. The one shortcoming I find to all of these systems is the power wiring solutions. The Arlos for instance, work best and gain all of the motion activating features (like creating activity zones to reduce false triggers) when the power is hardwired vs relying on the rechargeable batteries which last only so long. Where you want to mount a camera for the proper angle and in some cases to keep it out of reach is not necessarily conducive to a location that has an outlet nearby. Inevitably, this leads to two possible solutions, a) daisy chain off a nearby circuit and install a weather proof exterior outlet near the device, or drill a hole big enough in your exterior wall to run the USB cable through the wall into the interior of the house and connect to an interior outlet. Aesthetics of the wiring and wall penetrations is important. They really should supply some better sleeker wire management features and weatherproofing features to help the home owners in doing a nice professional job.
There are official extended usb cables available as well as after market ones that are around 20 ft long. Also the way I get around these issues is by using a bulb socket adapter with a 2 pin plug on that adapter and plug the power brick onto it, then use a dusk to dawn bulb so in that way you can always keep the light switch on.

Looks a lamp socket ((Output5W/ 5V1A) can only support one camera? but I saw you connected two cameras, can them work stably?
Can i use this with the v3 together? Idk sounds like a good idea
That lamp thing still working for you?
No night color on the Telephoto?
