Hello   @BWW 

 

If Tapo camera shows local only,you could try some tips here: 

  • change Router's DNS to 8.8.8.8/ 8.8.4.4,save the settings on router and reboot camera
  • To check if the ' local only' error relates to the phone or SIM card company on the phone. Please connect phone to a different Wi-Fi network, or test when phone on mobile data from a different SIM card company. (this is to see if it's related to a certain ISP or SIM card )
  • Confirm Tapo APP and device firmware are both up to date. 
  • Turn VPN or security apps like AdGuard /Lookout app off 

For IOS device, make sure you have give ' local network' permission on your iphone : 

Why do I need to give local access permission to TP-Link apps in IOS 14?

 

Please also test on a different mobile device if you got one, will camera become local only again?
