UPDATE:
With the newest frimware update I succeeded to connect my c425 to the H200 hub and record the video to the micro SD card in the hub.
@Felicedinoi Same issue here, it seems that the newer hardware version is not capable of connecting to H200 hub. Absurd that this option is not available in this version. I bought the camera from a shop where they stated on their site that this camera can save the video on the H200 hub. This is one of the reasons I bought it. So I can save the video safe, even if the camera gets stolen... I tried for hours and hours, reading the whole internet and trying and trying, thinking I did something wrong, until I finally read this thread. It's not possible... :(

Make sure the firmware on Tapo C425 and H200 are both updated. As well as the Tapo app.

@Wayne-TP Hi, I also cannot connect my Tapo C425 to the H200 Hub like advertised, will the rest of the C425 versions have this functionality soon or is it best I return it and get the C420 instead?
Thanks.
