Moving Tapo app to new phone - how to reconnect Tapo C210 cameras to app

2023-02-19 11:32:21

Model: Tapo C210

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.3.1

I have two C210 cameras installed in my house abroad. I can view and manage them from the app on my present mobile phone in the UK.
I am about to renew my phone and I want to view and manage the cameras on my new mobile phone prior to disposal of my present phone.
Is there a procedure for connecting the cameras to the app on my new phone, bearing in mind that the cameras are approximately 7,000 miles away and I won't have physical access to them until next year? Thanks in advance.

I have managed to sort the query myself.

I've just received my new phone and during set-up it transferred all apps and settings from my old phone, including the Tapo app camera connection details. So, to my surprise, my new phone has now got a working Tapo app and I am able to view and control my cameras.
