Resetting each camera and syncing to the smart hub worked fine. The cameras are connected and record to external USB storage. I can see in the library the recordings, but they do not download or play. "Failed to download, try again". I tried on both iphone and Android with the latest updates and app, and both devices connected to the same network as the smart hub. The recordings are visible in Library, bit do not download/play. Removing the storage and plugging into a PC/Mac to view works. Only viewing locally via iphone/android does not. Any ideas why? Or what I should try? Everything else works minus the playback.

If so, disable it. WHen trying to view/download the videos, are all devices on the same network? It will be a pain but start by removing all devices and start fresh which can clear out any weirdnesses.</P> Mon, 04 Oct 2021 12:21:48 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Wire-Free-Cameras/Library-videos-will-not-download/m-p/1834540#M2323 jguerdat 2021-10-04T12:21:48Z Re: Library videos will not download https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Wire-Free-Cameras/Library-videos-will-not-download/m-p/1834609#M2332 <P>There is no VPN, Arlo is plugged by ethernet into the router, phones are connected to the same router over WiFi.</P><P>The this is, the library lists the captures, which tells me the app is communicating with the SmartHub. Its only when you click on a thumbnail and want to download it, it fails.
