I have a 1 TB drive hooked up, selected local storage, yet I can only see the last week of recordings.
Any ideas?

Does "hooked up" mean plugged into the base station? 1TB may be bigger than it can accept. Did you test it?

 

In any case, you cannot use the Arlo interface to see stuff stored on the USB drive. As @jguerdat says you have to eject the storage and use something else to see the recordings.

 

This is what the User Manual says:

 


 

Video clips on USB storage devices do not display in the Arlo app, but you can use a
Windows-based or Mac computer to view the clips.

On the drive after you safely ejected it and viewed on a computer or in your library?

In theory, the base ( Pro/Pro2 ) has a max drive of up to 2 TB.( TMK )
