I have checked the online accessories page. I see listing for the outdoors 25 foot cable but I don't actually see any AC adapters.

The outdoor power adapter is attached to the cable for weatherproofing. The indoor adapters are separate from the cables so you could actually use any USB adapter that has at least the same power capabilities as the original Arlo one. The cable is proprietary but it's not clear to me if you want the charger or the cable or both.

Got it. The photo was not clear. Ordered two outrageously priced 25 ft cables.

@ddavtian5 is absolutely correct. Wasserstein makes a MUCH less expensive alternative to the Arlo outdoor cable. Wasserstein also makes some interesting accessories that I am surprised Arlo does not manufacture directly. 

 

I ended up with the Arlo outdoor cable because once I finally saw the AC adapter at the end of the cable (It is not in ANY of the photos of the product) I was very pleased with the robust, waterproof nature of the plug which is different from the Wasserstein plug which is a USB tip into an adapter. My plug is outside and I am trying to remove all potential for water penetration. (The entire system is being monitored remotely and I cannot be there to troubleshoot issues, hence running the system off of AC and not battery) 

 

But if you are looking for alternatives to Arlo's incredibly expensive accessories, follow @ddavtian5 advice and check out Wasserstein (why don't the product boxes come with a magnetic mount and an outdoor mount for each camera? aghhh...)
