Great, be careful that if you don't use the cloud service and no SD card, if your camera disconnects from the wifi... you won't have any recording.

@Ludovic_42 how do you use the cloud service with no wi-fi?

You can't, you need an internet connexion to use the cloud service, that mean your camera has to be connected to a wifi.

Hello!
I just jumped from a single c425, to a D230S1 with the H200 hub, and a C460.
Everything is on the latest public firmwares. Everything works great except I seem to not have the option listed here to manually put the cameras on the hubs AP. When I click "network connection", both cameras only have the option to toggle wifi backup, and thats it.
Was this feature exclusively released for the Iphone app? Or am I missing something here?
Lastest Android version and updated app.
C425 - Hardware: V1.20, firm: 1.2.26
C460 - Hardware:V1.0, firm: 1.2.0
Hub - Hardware: 1.0, firm: 1.6.0 Build:2025915
