I have an Arlo video camera system with 4 cameras and a Base station for local recording. I purchased it a few years ago. I recently replaced one of the standard cameras with a Floodlight camera. I paired it with the system and everything was working great with the subscription service. Now the subscription expired 2 days ago on the floodlight, I can still see the camera and I get notifications but it is not recording.  Can you tell me how to make the floodlight record on my base station? I have to think it is a setting I am missing.

Eject the USB storage from the base, connect it to a PC, and then check for recordings from the floodlight.  I think you will find them.

 

If you were wanting to see the local recordings in the app, then you need a VMB4540 or VMB5000 base to get that - the VMB4000 doesn't have that feature. 

 

There is a setting in the app (look in the storage options for the base) to enable direct access on those two smarthubs. But you won't find that setting on the older bases.
