If you have direct access storage enabled on the hub, you should be able to see the last 30days in the app.

Recording before that requires you to pull the storage device to view on a pc.

That's a new comment that I haven't heard before. I would think that local storage is available for viewing at any point in time, not just within 30 days. Have you tested this? I copy videos off the first of every month and reformat the drive so I can't be sure.

Note: Direct Storage Access allows you to view the last 30 days of videos in the Arlo Library. If you want to view videos older than 30 days, you will need to connect your USB or microSD device to a PC or Mac.

FWIW, this is what I see on my own system. The app only shows 30 days.
