Hasn't record locally always been there for using a SD card, pretty sure I had to turn it on when I installed my card.

I guess if you remember it being that way you would be correct

I think you're right, but it looks as if they have renamed it from "SD Card Recording" to "Record Locally"

I would also love to know what we can all expect with this. Will it be implemented before the end of 2019 as originally stated by Arlo earlier this year?

With it being the end of the year basically, are we going to be getting local storage access on the app soon before 2020 as promised?

Yes,

 

Many people are considering this camera system though local access (networked/not micro SD) to content is essential for most people.

 

Are you able to provide an update?

Hi @Cwmmmm ,

 

Pretty sure the announcement is about being able to access the SD card backup footage stored on the base station through the app and not about using your own networked storage eg. NAS.

 

I will be VERY happy to be proven wrong.  Seems very strange in todays world concerned with privacy that people are wont at least want an option o fusing their own networked storage.

 

Anyway, here's hoping.

 

Cheers,

App was updated today to allow local access of video within the app.

I updated my Arlo iOS app to today’s release and don’t see the option anywhere to access videos stored on the SD card.  The option to set the PIN code isn’t there either.

Might have added it, but it doesn't work.. Just doesnt show up as an option.

mmm I should add "The arlo doesnt work" to my text shortcuts. I seem to type it a lot.

This feature will be available very soon. The development team still has some small changes to make before the feature is fully available but the 2.12 version of the mobile app will be the version needed to support direct storage access. I will provide an update here when this feature is fully available.

OK, strange way of rolling out an update and new features.. Why not wait until it was ready.

Well, just a couple of weeks left before the end of the year and not even a hint...

James, someone else mentioned that this is available in today's release and I have the 2.12 for today but see nowhere that gives access to the SD card ?

LandJS,

 

This feature isn't available just yet. As mentioned above, 2.12 will support this feature once all the pieces are in place for it to be live. I will provide another update when this is fully implemented.

It was released in the app, and is listed as feature.. but it's not implemented.. I have no idea who is running the show, but that has to be the stupidest thing I have ever seen when it comes to feature rollout of product improvements. Its a 101 on how to piss all customers off in one foul swoop..

Based on other topics, we should actually see it implemented in around 2025.. maybe at the same time as customised iOS notification sounds.
