Hi All,

We regret to inform you that Tapo battery-powered cameras do not currently support the RTSP and ONVIF protocols.

To maximize battery runtime, the battery-powered cameras remain in a low-power (sleep) state most of the time. The camera wakes only when motion is detected or when a user views live feed in the Tapo app. Continuous streaming over RTSP or ONVIF would require the camera to stay awake at all times, which would consume substantial power and significantly reduce battery runtime. Even with a solar panel connected, the camera may be insufficient to sustain RTSP/ONVIF streaming. Considering factors such as the battery runtime and lifespan, RTSP and ONVIF are not supported on our battery-powered camera models.

If you need a camera that supports RTSP or ONVIF, we recommend choosing a non-battery-powered model. You can go to this page to filter and find a camera model that interests you. On the Specifications or Datasheet page for a specific camera on our official website, you can also confirm whether the RTSP/ONVIF protocols are supported.

We valued your feedback. Although battery-powered cameras do not support RTSP/ONVIF at this time, we will continue to record and forward the feature requests to the relevant team for evaluation as we work to improve our products and services.

Best Regards
