This doesn't seem too difficult a feature to provide for your Tapo devices - when can we all expect to see this update?

  @Home_Cameras this would be awesome. I wouldn't have to physically reset cameras to change WiFi. It's like the feature is halfway there. As we can communicate with the camera and can skip the step of connecting to the camera as an AP.

Hi All,
Thank you for your feedback. Regarding the requested feature, please provide more details on the specific usage scenario, for example, the camera is in an online or offline state when switching the camera's WiFi,  to help us better evaluate and improve this feature.


While we don't have any specific details that I can share about whether this feature can come to the product or when it might, I'll keep logging the feature request and pass it along to the relevant team for evaluation.


Best Regards

Hi guys, thank you for answering. Ill try to give more details.
 

As several of the users have already written, it often happens that the camera is transferred or the WIFI settings change and it is not possible to use the same SSID all the time. If the camera is on, it would be ideal to be able to connect to the camera and change the WIFI that the camera connects through. I think this should be one of the essential features of your camera app, as this option is offered by other manufacturers and not just the "professional" ones. 
 

I hope this is not just an empty statement that you will pursue this feature.


Thanks!

Hi @Solla-topee "Regarding the requested feature, please provide more details on the specific usage scenario, for example, the camera is in an online or offline state when switching the camera's WiFi, to help us better evaluate and improve this feature." I install a new home router with a new SSID. I would like to switch all my cameras from old SSID to new SSID without needing to hard reset every camera. Since I can still talk to the cameras on the local WiFi network it would be nice to change to new SSID without having to hard reset and place each camera into AP mode first. Basically go through the last part of the setup. Thank you.

1. When I change my SSID around or optimize then I have to hard reset every device.

 

2. When I take my camera to the babysitter or hotel, I have to hard reset the device to connect it to a temporary network.

 

This is a joke honestly. Add this feature in. It's one of the biggest pain points of your camera line. Most of us don't keep the camera in one place, we use it and take it around outside our home. This really limits us. Other camera companies you compete with have these features already in the production environment, why can't tp-link?
