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?

You are welcome.
Yes, this camera support to stream the live view on iSpy, just follow the instruction I sent before.
Regarding open the port 554 on the router, you'd better contact your router support to do that, each router may have a different interface. For your reference, below is the instruction to open the port on our TP-Link router.

@Stella.Q Thank you that was pretty helpful. I haven't used iSpy before but I assume it's the recommended PC application for IP cameras? I have used VLC before for playing videos but wasn't aware it could be used with IP camera monitoring. A couple of questions of detail. I haven't installed iSpy yet but:
1 Does it support the C200 as I find searching their database a little tricky?
2 While I have the IP addresses of my cameras, the instructions mention " open the port 554 for the camera on your host router first.". What's the procedure for "opening a port"

@Stella.Q Is it possible you have no app for Win?
I found iSpy for 350€... Is there some cheaper solution?

I don't have a camera app for Windows 10. In the past I had older IP cameras and I could just use a web browser (no cost required) to view and manage them. When you say 350€.for iSpy is that 350 Euros and a one off cost? I was under the impression there is a free version. But if it actually costs 350 Euros that amounts to approximately the price of 10 new Tapo C200 cameras!

It's on the ispyconnect website: "Our software is free to use locally. You can add as many cameras as you like. Secured web access, SMS, Twitter, email alerts, mobile device access and other services that require use of our online platform require a subscription or an annual payment." ispy is now forked to "agent dvr" which is better and also free for local use... u can make virtual server to outside on your route to reach it from outside
Interestingly last week Korzar said that he found iSpy software costs 350€. So which is correct, free or 350€?
