Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a project to automate the retrieval of video recordings from the SD card of my TP-Link VIGI C340-W camera, but I’ve hit a brick wall. My goal is to download specific clips via a Python script or RTSP without using the VIGI app or VMS software.

Here is what I’ve discovered/tried so far:

• ONVIF Issues: The camera supports ONVIF Profile S (Live Stream works fine on port 80/2020), but it does not seem to support Profile G. I get a "Device doesn't support service: recording" error when trying to list recordings via Python (onvif-zeep).

• Web UI Reverse Engineering: I’ve analyzed the Web UI traffic. It uses a complex RSA-encrypted login flow on port 443 (requiring a nonce and key_2 from /get_encrypt_info). Even after replicating the login and obtaining a stok (session token), I cannot successfully mimic the playback stream requests on port 8443.

• RTSP Playback: Standard RTSP playback strings (using starttime/endtime parameters) either default back to the live stream or fail to connect entirely.

• Missing Documentation: I cannot find any official VIGI OpenAPI or SDK documentation online that covers local SD card access.

My Questions:

1. Does anyone have access to the VIGI OpenAPI/SDK documentation or a private API reference for the C340 series?

2. Has anyone successfully scripted a way to pull .mp4 or .h264 files directly from the SD card over the network?

3. Are there any hidden endpoints or specific SOAP actions for TP-Link VIGI that bypass the standard Profile G requirements?

I’ve already confirmed that FTP upload works for new events, but I need to reach back and grab specific historical timestamps programmatically.

Any help, documentation links, or pointers for reverse engineering the 8443 stream service would be greatly appreciated!
