I followed the instructions below using the correct type USB inserted into my base station.  At first the recordings were accessible through my Arlo app on my phone, however a couple of days later I could not access the videos and received the message:  "Videos stored on [name of my base station] are not available.  Please check your connection settings"  I removed the USB and reinserted it.  The videos became accessible again.  Then, a few days later, I am back to no access and the same error message.  Any advice on how to rectify this issue is appreciated.

 

To enable Direct Storage Access:

  1. Launch the Arlo app on iOS or Android.
  2. Tap Settings > My Devices.
  3. Select a SmartHub.
  4. Tap Storage Settings.
  5. Tap the switch next to Record Locally.
    Local storage is now activated on your Arlo device.
  6. Tap the switch next to Direct Storage Access.

I've seen this occasionally. It really appears to be more of a display issue since force closing the app or waiting for some time seems to correct it. A reboot of the hub may help, too.
