[SOLVED] Tapo Pan/Tilt Security Camera

GPGAgent · 12-22-2021, 01:09 PM

I have one of these: https://www.tapo.com/uk/product/smart-camera/tapo-c200/

Nice bit of kit, very cost effective.

Now although I can view it on my phone, I would like to set up my laptop to view the video stream, I cannot find any way to do this, has anyone go a suggestion as to how I could enable this?

Or is the Tapo device a propriety closed environment?

I have worked with some cameras that have built in web servers to allow you to login to camera web page to view video and move the camera.
Can you get the IP of the device and connect?
If not, then it may be using some proprietary API for the app to communicate with.
