Is it possible to somehow access camera recordings from 50 -55 days ago? I know I can see the past 7 days' recordings. I don't have any cloud storage or any subscription.

Then there is no way to get any recordings that old now.  

 

Assuming you have a VMB4xxx base, you can get a small USB thumb drive (128-512 GB is plenty), and set up local storage on the base.   If you have a VMB5000, you can get a similarly sized microSD card. 

 

The VMB3xxx bases have USB ports, but don't support local storage.  (No idea why those bases have ports, since they cannot be used for anything).

What arlo Base station do you have? If it is a VMB 4xxx and you have a USB storage device attached you could use a pc to see if it is still there.
