Remote access to local storage (RATLS as Arlo calls it)
I don't have a cloud subscription and i just have my cameras set up to record to the base station USB drive. I have tried to connect directly to the web server that the base station has to get the local files from like the app does but had no luck so far. Arlo have made it really hard to get in.

As per my message in the linked issue above, I was attempting to get into the local storage, and tonight I have managed to do just that with a bit of python.
I have been write a few python scripts over the last few days to try to get into the local usb storage server on the base station, and tonight I just managed to get it all working.
The next step would be to integrate this into pyaarlo/hass-aarlo so it can be used alongside the rest of the feature set, but I do not know the best way.
@twrecked I am open to chat about this either in here or in discord jesserockz#0282
I will tidy up my scripts and post a link to a repo here soon.
Here is my POC repo: https://github.com/jesserockz/python-arlo-ratls-poc
Thanks for this! I'll take a look later today - it's morning here - it's March break so I've got less time and been concentrating on making aarlo work with the latest release.
Hi All,
I was wondering if accessing the local stored footage on the base station can be accessed via the aarlo integration? I am assuming that it pulls the footage from the cloud at the moment?
Hope this makes sense?!? 😜😜
Thanks
John
Any news about this? After my trial subscription ran out and I got a new subscription everything just stopped recording to the cloud and try as I might I just can't make it work. So... I for one would quite like this feature. 😄
It completely fell of my radar - real work and summer stuff got in the way. I'll try to make some time to take a look at this.
Hi All,
How do i go about implementing this into HA? i have tried adding it as a custom repos, do I save the files into the config folder of HA?
sorry for the dumb questions...
My repo is a standalone python app/library and you would need to write a HA integration around it to get it direct.
@jesserockz Firstly, many apologies again for the delay getting round to this, you still interested in bringing this in (or hooking it into) aarlo/pyaarlo? With splitting aarlo and pyaarlo into 2 pieces for the 0.8 release I think this might make it easier.
I'll clone your repository and take a look.
@twrecked yeah definitely. I have not looked back at it for a while but definitely interested it getting it in.
