Implemented Tapo C200 / permission calls for a shared device
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Dear all
Is it possible to give a shared device the permission to make calls / speak with the camera? This would be very important if we want to use the camera as a baby monitor.
Thanks for your soonest reply and have a nice day.
Best regards,
Tamara

Hello everyone,
Thank you for sharing ideas regarding shared account permissions on Tapo camera.
- Tapo APP allows logging in admin account (TP-Link ID/ email address being used to set up your smart device) on multiple mobile devices, if a second mobile device needs the full permissions of camera, like Talk/ Call/ Pan & Tilt etc., you could log in admin account using same email address and password on that device.
- At this time, shared account could only access Live view and Playback as FAQ explained here:
How to share your Tapo smart devices (smart plug, smart camera, smart lighting) with your families
Your suggestion here for shared account permission improvement will be record regularly and forwarded to the appropriate team for consideration.
If you request the same feature, feel free to share more detailed usage scenario like who would you like to share to and what person will need the Talk/ Voice Pan & Tilt feature or do you think if adding a toggle of admin authorization to the shared account will help etc., Those will help us understand better of your request and set priority when this topic being raised with the Product team.
Thank you!

I as admin have few camera on other properties and I only need to share certain camera to respective family member, how could I give them my admin password for all people to login, this is pointless to have camera like this.
for small family and only 1 properties, should be no issue like this, but not all people.

Unfortunately your solution does not work if the other users have their C200 cameras with their accounts too! In general, i cannot understand what is the difficulty to introduce all functionalities to the share users except the right to delete users. Or give us the way to grant rights to the share users on owr own! You have one of the most commercial accepted camera in the market and it is too pity to loose this advantage because you are not updating the application! Just listen to your customers!
