@WhiteFox No you don't need micro SD card with a NVR.

@A_Roy Unfortunately TP-Link make no effort to integrate with their own Tapo camera into VIGI NVR despite it's the only NVR they provide (there's no Tapo NVR).

The latest firmware says more compatibility with Tapo. But I can't see any difference with previous firmware. Still only standard detection works.

@Dizzwold I don't think it will work because I didn't work with TP-Link Tapo, options are grey in the NVR despite the camera app have this option. I think it only works with TP-Link Vigi cameras.

@Panini Sorry , I didn't understand the camera was not on the same network. Maybe it's possible with VPN.

@Panini You can connect your camera only if the camera supports ONVIF protocol.
