Under Consideration Tapo App availability on Windows
Right, I know I can view my IP camera from my PC through several means, such as
1. Using Onvif or RTSP, I can stream my IP camera feed through
- 3rd party Windows apps such as iSpy, Camlytic, or just a simple VLC
- using NVR and connecting my PC to the NVR instead of connecting to my IP camera
2. using Tapo Android app that (as of now) can only be accessed by using
- Android emulator, which sometimes screws up the resolution and orientation since the app is designed for phones, not pc, and often can't be opened.
- Using Windows Android subsystem, which is only available to the USA and a few nations, and even if my nation is also included in the list, I still need to find an unofficial app from the internet since apparently (as of my knowledge) Tapo app isn't available on Amazon App Store.
Look, I also have Tp Link NC200, bought in 2016, and right now, it is still alive. In its heyday, I can view my NC200 feed from www.tplinkcloud.com. Although, right now the web is no longer usable since Adobe stopped supporting Flash Player. So, the NC series already provided an example of how to offer simplicity for user to view Tapo from a Windows PC. The Dev can make a website simmilar to the NC series, or make the Tapo App available for Windows.
I just want to access my Tapo recording from my PC. Can I only do such a thing by using an Android emulator or using NVR? Does TP-Link have any plan to expand Tapo App availability to Windows PCs in the future? Will Matter certification make any difference? Like for example, after Matter certified, can I pair my IP camera to an app that is available on Windows PC?
Note, I already gave feedback to Tapo app email, but I got no response, so I hope somebody from Tp-Link will reply to my thread.

Men is al jaren aan het vragen om een windows app voor de TP link Tapo camera's.
Het ziet er naar uit, dat TP-Link mogelijk een beetje maling heeft aan zijn gebruikers.
TP-Link zegt dan wel zo mooi, geef ons een stem, maar doen jullie wel wat met de stemmen. (of is het een zoethoudertje!)
Zoals vele personen al hebben vermeld, het scherm van een telefoon is te klein. Op een 10 inch tab gaat het net een beetje.
Vrijwel alle gebruikers hebben een PC. (Windows of Mac) Het zou TP- sieren om eindelijk eens een Windows app voor de Tapo serie te maken.
Zoals het nu is alleen op Android, is het niet meer van deze tijd!!

anno 2025: it makes sense to have a windows and or mac app that can be used as a mobile app (android or ios). missing this really causes a negative customer experience. i myself just bought a c660 kit and im 100 % out of luck. I spy, VLC, support just said, "nope, not supported"
starting to regret my 1st tapo camera already....
