Hi!

How do I connect remotely to a camera that my friend has set up at our cottage in another country? I.E. he's gone to the cottage, set up the camera and router/internet then gone, sending me the router details etc. But I can't see how to set up the camera remotely without anyone being near the camera...

Hi, 
It's unable to set up the camera remotely, and it's required to be near the camera to set it up and connect it to the router's Wi-Fi. However, after the camera is configured successfully, you can control it remotely in the Tapo app.
Best Regards
