There recently was an update for these cameras to connect to base stations like the one I have (vmb-4000). My account is grandfathered so that I can still record 7 days worth of video without paying a subscription because I bought it early on.

I connected a separate camera that I recently purchased (Essential Gen 2) to my hub but it won’t let me record video. I have to have a subscription to do so. However I can still record video without paying my original cameras.

So what is the advantage of connecting the new camera to the hub than just in wifi like I had it before?
