The 4500 supports local recording, but does NOT support playback.

 

The only bases that support playback of local recordings are the VMB4540 and the VMB5000 smarthubs.

Dear Stephen,

thank you so much for your reply. Really appreciated.

And sorry for having you confused. I actaully have a 4540 and it replays recordings for arlo pro cameras but not for the essential one. What might be my mistake here please?

Is your Essential camera connected to your hub? That's needed since the hub can only record what passes through it. A camera connected to WiFi can't have local recordings.

Can you try going to Devices > VMB4540 > Storage Settings and refresh the page by sliding down to get the new recordings?

Dear Shayne, dear all,

 

many thanks for your support.

I have tried as recommended by Shayne but unfortunately this does not solve my issue either… ;(
