Hello,
I bought, 3-4 weeks ago, c425 cameras as well as the h200 hub.
I will spare you my disappointment when I realized that I could not record on the hub while the website indicates that I can. nevermind.
I came across the post of this forum as well as Wayne's response indicating that the firmware 1.2.22 (or newer) will be available in one or two weeks ( the reply ).
We are on the third week of waiting; can you please give a new more precise deadline?
I tried to reboot the camera multiple times + push the button to check new update each day.
Thank you
