Model: Tapo C200  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.10

is there any way to view live camera without internet ?
or is there some setting that i should change before i can access it ?

 

the device and the camera already connected to the same router but when the wifi icon on my smartphone have exclamation mark it can't access the camera

 

the exclamation mark on my smartphone only happen because i intentionally disconnect the internet but keep the router on

 

i try asking this question because there's claim on the support page that this camera can be accessed without internet as long as the camera and the device which access the camera are connected to the same router

@snowdance 

Hey! Good day.

Thank you very much for your time and patience.

Could you please help me check the following information:

  1. What the LED status on the camera when there is no internet from the router, solid green, or red?
  2. Turn off the VPN if there is one on the smart phone;
  3. May I know the modem number of your main router?—if there is any AP isolation, or firewall/ access control, please also turn it off for a while;
  4. If possible, please also test on a different smartphone to see what happened;

Thank you!

@snowdance 

Good day.

For your case, I might need to follow by email and please have a check of your email box.

May I know the model number of your main router?

Thank you very much!

Actually I have the same concern, when I open up the tapo app on my smart phone that is connected to same network with the camera but with no internet, it requires me to login and the tapo app responds with no internet

@promiseall 

Good day.

Sorry for the delay.

Did you still have the same issue?

If yes, can I have a picture of the error message on the smartphone

And if you try again, would the same error message still be here?

Would another smartphone have the same issue?

Thanks a lot and wait for your reply.
