Use an SD Card With Arlo Go 
View Videos Saved on an SD Card
To view videos saved on a local storage SD card, you must remove the SD card 
from your Arlo Go camera. Cloud recording is still enabled, but SD card recording is 
disabled as soon as you remove the SD card.
To view the files on your SD card, you need an SD card reader, often called a 
memory card reader. Most computers do not come equipped with an SD card 
reader, but many inexpensive readers are available with standard USB or Micro USB 
connectors. If you purchase an SD card reader, make sure that you choose one that 
can read Micro SD cards.
 
¾ To view video clips on an SD card:
1.  Safely eject the SD card.
For more information, see 
Safely Eject and Remove an SD Card 
on page 25.
2.  Wait for the Unmounting SD card progress message to close, then remove the 
SD card from your Arlo Go camera. 
WARNING: Do not interrupt power to the camera or remove the SD card while the SD 
card is being unmounted.
3.  Insert the SD card into the Micro SD card slot in your card reader.
4.  Wait for the SD card to appear in the available drives on your computer, then 
open the drive folder to view the files on your SD card.
5.  Open the arlo folder.
Recorded videos are saved in this folder in MP4 format. Video files are named 
according to this system: 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.
