D235 reports H.264 via ONVIF but streams H.265
Hello.
I try to integrate D235 doorbell camera into Milestone Xprotect.
It works if I use the Universal driver and manualy configure the RTSP stream with H.265 decoding.
But via ONVIF the camera reports to use H.264 encoding, while the actual encoding is H.265, so this does nog work.
Is this a bug in the firmware, or something I can fix?
I like to use ONVIF, to be able to see the events like motion detection in Milestone.

We have a beta firmware that includes relevant modifications. If you would like to try it out, send me a private message with the Mac address of your D235 doorbell.

Beta firmware has been sent to your device. You may check it later in the Tapo app and perform the update.
Before the Upgrade
(1) Please be sure you have read the Beta Test Agreement before upgrading the Pre-release firmware!
(2) How to update the firmware of the Tapo devices on the Tapo App
(3) Firmware downgrade is not supported. When a new official version is released, updating it will overwrite the beta version.

Yes. With this firmware video works in Milestrone.
I see that the ONVIF part is the same, it still reports H.264.
But the stream is changed from H.265 in the previous firmware to H.264 in this firmware.
Therefore ONVIF metadata now matches with stream.
Thanks.
I did not test yet if events are connectly received.
And audio does not seem to not work.
I will check/test settings and try to get it working.

I did some more testing.
I did not get audio working in Milestone.
Audio works in VLC.
I see that the doorbell reports via ONVIF a bitrate of 16 kHz, while the actual bitrate in VLC shows as 8 kHZ.
But I am not sure that is the reason why audio is not working in Mieltsone. Because Milestone ONVIF driver seems to only support 8 kHZ audio; it did not use the 16 kHz as reported via ONVIF.
I also did not get events like motion detection working in Milestone.
So I did some debugging with PowerShell scripts.
GetEventProperties returns the available event types: CellMotionDetector, IntrusionDetector, LineCrossDetector, PeopleDetector, TPSmartEventDetector.
Creating a PullPoint Subscription and Pulling messages seems to work, but then the PullMessagesResponse never shows any event.

Tapo D235's audio bitrate is 16kHz. As the doorbell uses ONVIF Profile S, the available event types are those specified under this profile.
