I have Arlo Pro. How do I look at video on the external drive from a month or two ago?

I have an external hard drive connected 24/7 to my Arlo Pro base unit. I have the wireless cameras and need to look up videos from a month or two ago. How can I retrieve these? Thank you!

You'll need to eject the HDD from the base station and plug it into your computer. View the recorded videos with VLC

Duh. I should have thought of that. Thank you for waking me up. 🙂

It will be good if the base has built in smb so I can just access via my pc

No, it does not. You must unmount the drive to view and manage videos stored there. A thumb drive is generally much easier to work with than a hard drive.
