Viewing Tapo C200 through Windows 10 PC

While I can view my Tapo C200 through the mobile app, I would also like to use a PC to view it. Is there some way I can view it using my PC?

@kamera11 TP-Link need to fix the fault they introduced in the latest firmware. If you have an SD card in the camera then rtsp streams do not work. You need to downgrade the firmware.
It has been like this since last summer......

I have four C200 cameras and all four have a SD card in the camera, and all four are working just fine with rtsp streams.
Are are using a C200 camera and what firmware version are in the camera?

Hi.
I have 3 C210 cameras and all worked perfectly using rtsp with firmware 1.1.8 and all cameras failed using rtsp (with an SD card installed) with firmware 1.3.0
Several other users also reported the same thing and found that downgrading the firmware fixed things.
I managed to downgrade the firmware back to 1.1.8 and everything was OK again.

Alright. Thought you had C200. My cameras are still running 1.1.8 (no newer firmware available)

Thanks, but all of those workarounds are terrible. And why are there only workarounds instead of a proper solution?
Just make a Windows version of Tapo. Please. I've heard that quite a few people use Windows

I agree, there's not one solution that works. The only way you can see your notification/time line or storage is to use the phone app.
I have some YiHome cameras which are not as good as the tapo cameras but they do have a pretty decent Windows application. You can see all your cameras, access the notifications and view the storage cards timeline. You can do this from any location without having to set up port forward rules for each camera.
They just need to port the phone app to windows.

Good morning.
Why TP-LINK NOT give us which have TAPO Camera a small Windows Client which may play directly all cameras which is under TP-LINK Account ?
Exactly Like the smart phone Tapo app.
Many small Chinese supplier which make cheap nonane cameras give to customer a windows client free.
Such a move would show that you take the needs of your customers very seriously and would be greatly appreciated by them.
