[sean_]

Hi, is it okay to use a type a micro usb charger for arlo pro 4 camera? If so, is there any specific product for this? And if the regular 5v type a micro usb charger is fine, is there any specific ampere? thanks

The Pro 4 uses a magnetic charging connector, not microUSB.  The other end of the cable is USB-A, which is what most USB chargers accept.

A 5 volt/2 amp charger is fine.  A lower amperage should also work, but would charge more slowly.  Higher is also ok, since the charger won't deliver more power than the camera can accept.

Arlo does sell chargers.  The indoor ones for the Pro 4 (black and white) are

Though labeled as "cables", they do include a charger.

There are also outdoor chargers for the Pro 4

These both are an integrated cable+charger - the charger doesn't detach from the cable.  They use a different voltage (9 volt, 1.1 amp), but deliver the same power.
