Hi, did you get anywhere with this? I've got it saying it's linked on the app but nothing uploads and the logs on the dvr are next to useless. Thanks.

    It's so frustrating, the documentation is clearly missing out a step or a pre-requisite. I've wiped my box and started from scratch twice and still no joy. No logs to speak of - I'm a technical chap and still struggling to get it work. Says it's linked, the folder's been created automatically but nothing uploads 😩
