Some news,
on December 27, both my cameras received firmware update 1.2.23
The next step will be to unbox a third camera to see if the update is instantaneous.
I can finally use the cameras that I bought after more than a month of waiting while the tp-link website clearly specified compatibility of the C225 C425 camera with the H200 hub (my goal was clearly to use them without cloud subscription and with backup outside the camera)
It would be appropriate to inform the customer a little better before their purchase; Indeed, I received my cameras on November 25 and what a disappointment to see this incompatibility. I spent too much time with after-sales service who didn't seem to be aware of it and I had to search the internet myself to find this post and understand the problem.
That said and now that it works; Happy New Year to everyone.- Copy Link

Are you saying Tapo C225? I don't see any relevant content mentioning Tapo hub on its product page?
