@Solla-topee Are there any plans to incorporate RTSP and ONVIF protocols into the firmware for the D230 doorbell camera soon?

 

If not, then can I return the D230. It has been opened and tested in my home office. Not yet installed outside or anything else.

 

I live in an area with slow internet (only 1 provider so no choice, unless I want to pay for the very expensive wifi or satellite options). As a result, the Tapo app has a huge delay, with jumps in the feed and artifacting. In other words, it is basically useless. I am very glad that I decided to try this doorbell before buying your battery-powered outdoor security camera's. Definitely won't be doing that now. Will go with Annke instead.

Other issues, by not supporting RTSP and ONVIF:

• Doorbell live feed and notifications will stop the moment internet connectivity is lost
• Costs more people money, if they are not on an unlimited internet plan
• Not sure how you can call this a smart home device, when it does not have the ability to integrate into my smart home setup.
• This also means that there is no way to block the upload of our live video stream. This means that TP-Link (and possibly their partners) could watch our doorbell footage OR someone who has hacked TP-Links system or my account

 

Using a local RTSP and ONVIF setup would eliminate all of these risks, while providing additional features.

 

I know this is partially my fault for failing to verify this before purchase. But, TP-Link has always created well engineered products in the past, and I am completely shocked that this crucial feature was left out by a company such as yours.

Thanks, I have up voted that feature, but don't have high hopes on this being added to the software. So I have returned the doorbell camera and am in the process of selecting a different manufacturer for my entire security system, including friends & family as well. Thanks for the helpful reply.
