I have a camera system involving 2 Essential Spot Light cameras and 1 Pro 5 camera. I record activity locally using a Smart Hub. The Smart Hub only shows the 2 Essential Spot Light cameras as being connected. Even though I get notification of activations from the Pro 5 nothing is recorded on the Smart Hub. How can I fix this?

Silly question but is the Pro 5 also synced to the hub? If it's connected to your WiFi, no recordings passes through the hub so can't be recorded there.

Hi Jguerdat.  Not a silly question. A check of the cameras settings shows it is connected to wifi. I followed the process to sync it to the hub but it still shows connected to wifi. Any advice on how I can fix the problem would be really appreciated.

Did you try removing it from your account, and then adding it back?

Thanks so much. All sorted. I now realize how it happened. The Pro camera came with 6 mth free cloud storage. At the end of the time I didn't realize I had to change the storage setting from wifi to hub. Lesson learned! Thanks again.
