Initial setup

1. Setup DNS reservation for the cam
2. Configure firewall to block outgoing traffic from the cam IP
3. SSID Broadcast needs to be enabled on initial wifi setup (Only required if you want to connect to a hidden wifi network)
4. Configure wifi through mobile app (This can likely done via API but good enough for now)
5. Don't click Next to add to Cloud. Kill mobile app
