Model: Tapo C210  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.21

I've looked and couldn't find a Windows version of the Tapo app so I could view the cameras or even set up a PC monitor showing the camera feed in real time.

 

Is there a reason to only have a mobile app?

I found about ispy and Agent UI but the setup is very complex and rrequires a fair amount of knowledge in networks, it would be much easier to just have an official Tapo app that would display my cameras in an easy/intuitive way with just my login information

 Hello  @Fbphoto 

Thank you for the feedback.  Tapo cameras are designed to be accessed anywhere through the app, it does not have a desktop PC yet. While the camera supporting RTSP and ONVIF protocol adds some flexibility for users who wish to stream camera on a Windows or MAC.

Among third party apps, the VLC Player or ONVIF Device Manager can be easier,  you could learn more details from thread below shared by our forum users:

Hope this helps.
