I just purchased two other brands of WIFI cameras and both had very easy sharing set-up functionality.  My wife and I have very different timetables and need to view our aquarium reef tanks at different times and from different locations.  The camera setup on the tanks work extremely well and light configurations were needed so we can view them during the evening.  I'm very surprised that you don't have at least a basic sharing protocol.

I've landed to this topic after installing several Kasa cams in my apartment and, when wanted to share some of them with other people, I just discovered that this (i believe basic!) thing is not posssible.

I have have been using Tapo, Smart Like, Xiaomi, Wyze cameras - all of them support device (and not account!) sharing.

Honestly, I thought this is a by default feature.

 

Seeing that this feature was requested long time ago and it is still not offered, I am speechless!
Now what? I will need to sell all my Kasa cameras and move to smth else...

Any official from Tp-Link can, at least, give us some hope that this feature is under development and it will be sometime launched?

  @Anton L.Z. 
seems like a pretty big oversight imo. First time I've seen a tech company encouraging password sharing.

  @Solla-topee Is this going to be fixed, or do I need to buy some other brand device?

 

It's a simple request- one device can be viewed by different accounts.

It's pretty lame that one account can't share access to a device with another account. 

It's so impractical.

I was going to get more of the smart plugs but I wouldn't because of the lack of this feature. I was also going to recommend to relatives now I cannot due to lack of sharing feature.

This seems like a terribly insecure hack.

I see Eufy has sharing device with other users. I wish Kasa implements the same with its devices
