I want to develop for the US Smarthings Cam (GP-U999COVLBDA) but I am in Europe

Hi, this is my first post here, so hello everyone!

I somewhat new to Smartthings. I wanted to start an Image processing project with the new Smartthings Cam, only to realise -after buying two- that they are not supported in Europe? This model: GP-U999COVLBDA

My question is how can I as a developer access hardware like that, to be able to do programming stuff with it if I am outside of the US.

Is there a Developer program I have to register to? Similar to Androif or IOS development I mean?

Thanks in advance
