Model: VIGI C350  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I really want to get all the functionality of the the Tp Link tapo phone software using the TP-Link Tapo C520WS Outdoor Pan and Tilt camera. This is free software with no subscription. But I want to us a VIGI camera because I want a POE camera. I have existing POE switch and camera's but the TP link Vigi is much more features. Can I use these cameras as standalone with recording on a micro-sd and using a phone app to get notifications? I don't want to pay subscription fee's and I like the TP Tapo features

Hi  @DaveGl 

Tapo APP and VIGI belong to independent systems, so they cannot work together.

If you want to use the VIGI poe camera, you can try to use it in standalone mode via its WEB UI, but this fails to get notifications on your phone.

So you may need to use the VIGI APP for more features and functions with VIGI camera.

  @Hank21 Thanks for your reply. 

Can I use the TP link VIGI phone app with a VIGI POE camera using micro-sd storage, for free ? i.e is there a subscription for remote connecting to a camera ?

I downloaded the Vigi App from the App Store as that has no cost. I was hoping it has all the similar features to the Tapo App like motion detect and recording.
