3. Use an SD Card With Arlo Go
All Arlo video recordings are stored to the cloud, but you can insert a micro SD card
into your Arlo Go camera and use the SD card as a second location to store Arlo Go
recordings locally.
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 mobile network connection drops, the camera
continues to record to the SD card.
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 percent. 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 25.
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 for you. See Format an SD
Card on page 29.
Insert an SD Card
¾ To insert an SD card in an Arlo Go camera:
1. Unlock the battery compartment by pressing and holding the latch.
2. Gently pull the battery door back to open the compartment.
