View 4G LTE camera on desktop PC?
Is there a way I can view both camera models live feed on 2 desktop computers running Windows 10/11 PC?
The 2 x TC40GW have a Sim and SD Card installed anf connect only via the 4G signal.
The 2 x C410's are on the local Wi-Fi network.
Thanks

Hi,
1. Since the Tapo C410 is a battery-powered camera, it does not support the RTSP/Onvif protocol and can't be viewed via a third-party program that supports RTSP/Onvif protocol on a PC.
2. For the TC40GW, when it only has a SIM card inserted to access the internet, it can't be viewed via a third-party program that supports RTSP/Onvif protocol on a PC.
In your usage scenario, the following instructions may be helpful.

Hi @Sneaky1,
For the 2 C410 cameras connected to local wi-fi network, you can find useful information here:

So, any ONVIF/RTSP compatible surveillance applications can be used.

Unfortunately, I don't have experience with 4G Tapo cameras.
Personally, I have wi-fi/ethernet versions.
So, I'm not familiar with settings and possibilities available in case of 4G devices.
As datasheet of TC40GW states that, ONVIF protocol is available via the ethernet interface only. Regarding to RTSP, the document contains a simple yes and doesn't mention any interface, connection type.
I can assume that, you can access to camera stream via the Tapo app only because of the necessity of relay solution between the 2 separate networks.
Let's wait while TP-Link guys confirm the official possibilities.
A question came to my mind...
Is it possible to download recorded videos from the camera to your phone using 4G connection?

Hi,
When the TC40GW has only a SIM card inserted to access the internet, currently, video recordings stored on the inserted SD card can't be downloaded in the Tapo app.
However, there is no problem streaming the video recordings in the Tapo app. You can also remove the SD card from the camera and connect it to a PC via an SD card adapter to view or copy and paste the video recordings if needed.
Best Regards
