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.

@praxsi I have a few C100 and C110 set up around the house and would like the Tapo App or something similar for my Windows PC to access those feeds more easily. I think a browser-based version of the Tapo app will be most welcomed too.
Thanks.

@praxsi Since Cameras is requested, please use the opportunity to include the full Tapo range also. I am a windows user - phone screens are just too small :)

@praxsi We definitely need a Windows App for our Tapo Cameras. Not everyone wants to use a small phone screen to review our security camera playback videos.

Please, please make a PC app available for Windows 10/11.
It would also be wonderful to provide a user manual for the Android app, and make it more user friendly.
I have a degree in computer technology, and the Android app is very cumbersome and missing important features--like alerts to my cell phone when there is a security alert!
Pretty important, I'd say.
Thanks.

Hi,
If you have configured the camera's notification feature properly, you will receive notifications on your phone when the camera detects events.
How to configure the Notification feature for the Tapo devices on the Tapo app?
Best Regards

@praxsi Yup make it so... Windows app for viewing when serious incidents happen. A neighbour just had a break in and was reviewing our footage. Wanted to listen and view on a big screen.
Surprising that everything isnt going Matter. Make it so also.
