USB Device Storage With Arlo Pro 2 
View Video Clips on a USB Storage Device
Video clips on USB storage devices do not display in the Arlo app, but you can use a 
Windows-based or Mac computer to view the clips. 
 ¾ To view video clips on a USB storage device:
1.  Safely eject the USB storage device.
For more information, see Safely Eject and Remove a USB Storage Device on 
page 31.
Cloud recording is still enabled. If another USB storage device is connected to 
your base station and USB recording is turned on, recording is automatically 
enabled on that USB storage device.
2.  Connect the USB storage device that you ejected to a Windows-based 
computer or a Mac computer. 
3.  Wait for the USB storage device to appear in the available drives on your 
computer, and then open the drive folder to view the files on your USB storage 
device.
4.  Open the arlo folder.
Recorded videos are saved in this folder in MP4 format. Video files are named 
according to this convention: camera serial number_video number_date_video 
clip tag. Dates are in the format YYYYMMDD.
Note: If you are unable to play MP4 files on your computer, update your media 
player software to the latest version and try again. You can also download a 
free universal multimedia player, such as VLC.
Change the USB Storage Device Overwrite Setting
By default, when the available USB storage is less than 20 percent, the oldest 
recording is erased to make room for new recordings. You can change this setting.
 ¾ To change the USB storage device overwrite setting:
1.  Tap the Arlo icon   on your mobile device.
If you are using a computer, enter arlo.netgear.com in the address bar of a 
browser.
The Devices page displays.
