V4 cam on a v1 floodlight?

I don’t think @DannyQ experienced any issue afterwards. He did mention he was going to try and use an extended USB cable on the auxiliary port to power a V4, but he never got back to update his findings. Having said that, @bassoprofundo did experience some issue with the secondary USB port in that thread, but it is likely his Floodlight V1 could be defective or dodgy power source.

Furthermore, I was previously using the auxiliary USB Type-A port to power an extra V3 and I did experience some issue only when using 33 feet long extended USB cables which I noted below. The main V3 camera on the Floodlight V1 had no issue at all.

Be careful with the extended USB cable especially connecting to Floodlight V1 USB auxiliary port. You might run into problems if the cable is too long. I was previously running a 33 feet USB cable setup to power a V3 camera and it started acting weird. It will record fine for a few days and then it stops recording and I get “No video at the selected time” when I try to playback my SD recordings. The camera itself still functions fine except for recording (detection, siren, live view, & everythi…

@SlabSlayer did some indepth testing on the auxiliary USB Type-A port of the Floodlight V1.

Floodlight USB wont power an OG?

I was able to test this using a NIB Floodlight V1, an OG-S Cam, and a V3 Cam. First, a load test of the Floodlight V1 Auxillary USB-A port on the back of the PIR Sensor. Operating without load, the port produces 4.92V. Under load at 2.2 Ohms, the port drops Voltage to approximately 3.9V while allowing between 1.6A and 1.8A current draw. Under load at 4.7 Ohms, the port drops Voltage to approximately 4.2V while allowing between 0.8A and 1.0 A current draw. [Screenshot_20231130_210948] The…
