3. Use an SD Card With Arlo Go
All Arlo video recordings are stored to the cloud, but you can connect a Micro SD
card to your Arlo Go camera and use the SD card as a second location to store Arlo
Go recordings locally. Local storage on an SD card cannot be used on its own as a
substitute for cloud recording.
If you connect an SD card, the camera records to both the cloud and the SD card.
If the camera is powered on but its LTE connection drops, the camera continues to
record to the SD card. Your Arlo Go camera uploads all recordings to the cloud as
soon as the camera reconnects.
The Arlo app notifies you if the SD card is low on storage space or is full. If you
select automatic overwrite, the oldest recordings are automatically deleted when
available storage on the SD card is below 20%. Unrelated files that are not in the
Arlo folder are not deleted by automatic overwrite.
The following hardware is required:
• An Arlo Go camera
• An SDHC or SDXC Micro SD card with at least 200 MB of available space.
If you are using best quality video settings, one hour of recordings is approximately
180 MB. You need more storage space if your Arlo Go is in a high-trac area, your
camera is set to record long video segments, or you do not want to use automatic
overwrite. For more information about SD card types, see
Supported SD Card
Format on page 22.
Supported SD Card Format
Your Arlo Go camera accepts Micro SD cards, SDHC or SDXC only, with up to 32 GB
capacity, file format FAT32. For best performance, we recommend using class 4 or
higher cards.
If your Micro SD card is not formatted or is formatted with an incompatible file
system, your Arlo Go can format the SD card to FAT32.
The camera can format an SD card for you. See
Format an SD Card on page 26.
