The smart hub is useless! It’s a pain in yhe&nbsp;@$$ to connect your cameras after they’ve already been installed. The app won’t format the usb solid state drive. The smart hub doesn’t send record on the usb SSD. And if it does you can’t see any recordings using the app!</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Arlo SUCKs</P> Wed, 05 Nov 2025 17:33:52 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Arlo-Essential-Gen-2-problems-with-SmartHub-and-charging/m-p/2463905#M101872 DKS1020 2025-11-05T17:33:52Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Arlo-Essential-Gen-2-problems-with-SmartHub-and-charging/m-p/2463952#M101877 <P>These steps may help you with the local storage behavior you are seeing.<BR /><BR /><A href="https://kb.arlo.com/000062818" target="_blank">https://kb.arlo.com/000062818</A></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 05 Nov 2025 17:44:03 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Arlo-Essential-Gen-2-problems-with-SmartHub-and-charging/m-p/2463952#M101877 BrookeN 2025-11-05T17:44:03Z
