Ispiratica,
Locally stored content on the VMB4000 is not viewable from the Arlo mobile app. The only way to view locally stored content from a VMB4000 is to eject the storage device and view from a PC: How do I view videos saved on a local storage USB device?
Your Floodlight came with a trial subscription that allowed you to view recordings stored on the Arlo cloud through the Arlo mobile app. After your trial expires, cloud recordings are no longer being saved.

I noticed yesterday that my camera was giving notifications but not recording anything.
Start by checking your subscription status. You need an active subscription to get cloud recordings.

Ispiratica,
What model base station/SmartHub are you using? How are you checking for recordings?

I'm using a VMB4000r3 base and I'm checking from the app on an Android 11 phone. I reinstalled the Arlo app as well.

So this is true for only Arlo Pro 3 onwards and not my Pro and Pro 2?
It's true for new camera (starting with the Ultra in 2018).

Would a VMB4500 allow for local app viewing on my floodlight?
No, you need a smarthub (VMB4540 or VMB5000).
There are quite a few limitations with direct access to local storage
- no manual recordings
- recordings only available in the app (not via my.arlo.com)
- recordings not accessible with friend access
- no thumbnails
- can be hard to set up access when when away from home
Just something to be aware of before you invest in a smarthub (instead of the subscription).
