@clant2000 Hello,
Tapo should be able to connect a common 2.4Ghz hotspot Wi-Fi, but as hotspot Wi-Fi wireless encryption is not uniform there is small chance that camera has difficultly comment to a hotspot. Consider Wi-Fi router has more stable WiFi, we still recommend connect the camera to a Wi-Fi router directly.

@Solla-topee thank you! And what about using the camera without internet connection and using the sd card to see images on pc?

@clant2000 Hello,
After camera is connected to the router WiFi once, you could still watch Live view on tapo APP or via rtsp streaming on PC （PC in the local network) using third party software
PC could not access SD card directly,you will need to insert SD in SD slot or via SD adapter to back up the file .
How can I play an RTSP live stream of my Tapo camera

But some features on camera requires internet to work properly, like the motion detection, time synchronization etc., camera may not get correct time without Internet.
