It has worked before but now the option is gone. I have restarted, re formatted the drive connected and still cannot see the direct storage option that was once there.

That explains it. Only the VMB4540 and VMB5000 have the direct storage feature.

Are you looking in the app or my.arlo.com? (It's not shown on my.arlo.com).

I am using ios and also on vmb5000.
when I set it up it was working great. Reason I just noticed is that my free 3 months membership just finished so now I wanted to see if local recording was working but won’t let me check footage. I can see its recording because card storage changes but won’t let me check

Generally I suggest testing direct access before the trial runs out.
- Is Direct Access enabled in the app settings for the base?
- What happens when you select the base station on the library page?

Hey Stephan,
Thanks for answering.
1 -I don’t see direct access in the app settings. Its not there. Under record locally the option is missing.
2- In the library page I cannot select anything or select the base. I have no options but filter and select recordings.

You might want to try uninstalling and reinstalling the app next.

Can you confirm the base station model? You said earlier that it was a VMB5000, but it uses a microSD card for storage.
The model info is on a label printed on the base.
