Model: Tapo C220  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.1.1

Similar to this other thread - https://community.tp-link.com/en/smart-home/forum/topic/782952 - I am unable to see ONVIF events with my DVR software (Agent DVR, latest version). In the logs of that app, I see no events when motion occurs

I see no hardware version anywhere on the camera nor packaging. It is newly purchased. I am in the Netherlands

Here is a google drive share of the diagnostic logs (which should contain many motion detections). Also are a couple screengrabs of the AgentDVR connection configurations. Both methods show connected live video but never receive ONVIF events (debug logging enabled within Agent DVR)

Agent DVR project - https://www.ispyconnect.com/download
It is running within a docker container

Hi, 
Please confirm the following information about the reported phenomenon.

 

  1. On the Tapo app > camera's Device Settings > Device Info page, you can find the camera's hardware version.

  2. On the camera's Device Settings > Detection page, what detection types have you enabled? Can you receive detection notifications in the Tapo app or on your phone?

  3. Can you stream the camera's live feed properly on the Agent DVR via ONVIF? 

 

I did not see a Google Drive link in the thread. You may send it to me (@Solla-topee) via a private message.
 

Best Regards

Detection type enabled was only 'motion detection'
Yes, i have no problem viewing live video. You can see the two different profiles and connection urls i used in the google drive assets

Hi,
It's no problem to keep the current firmware if the camera is working fine for you right now.
Best Regards
