Hi,
Typically, you can refer to the following instructions to troubleshoot if you can control the camera only in the local network.
What to do if I can't control my Tapo cameras on the Tapo app?
 

You can enable a hotspot Wi-Fi on your phone, factory reset the camera, configure it with another phone, connect it to the hotspot Wi-Fi, and then check if you can control it remotely. If yes, you can't control the camera remotely when it's connected to the router, which may be caused by the router's settings.

 

Best Regards

Hi,
Thank you for the information provided through private message. If your router support insists that the router has no issue, please try the following step to compare.


  1) Enable a hotspot Wi-Fi on your phone
  2) Factory reset the camera, configure it with another phone, and connect it to the hotspot Wi-Fi. 
      How to set up the Tapo camera
  3) Then, check if you can control the camera remotely. 


Best Regards
