ADD THE DEVICE

1. Ensure your phone is connected to your Wi-Fi network and that it is a 2.4GHz network.

Hub Controls (Sound, Video Quality, Signal Strength)

Features can be controlled directly from the live video feed. A volume button (speaker icon ?) allows muting and unmuting the live feed. For sound to be recorded on manually recorded video clips, this must be unmuted. Next to the volume button is the video quality button (e.g., "SD" for Standard Definition), which can be used to switch between standard and high definition video.
