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.

Hi
You can vote and leave your usage scenario on the thread "Viewing Tapo C200 through Windows 10 PC" if you want a Tapo app available to the Windows PC, we will keep logging the request and forward them to the relevant team for evaluation.
Currently, no camera is Matter certified and I can't confirm if the feature you requested is available.
Best Regards

@praxsi I just recently purchased the Tapo C210 to use for my new baby and so far very happy with it but was disappointed to find out there's no Windows app to view the camera. I work mostly from my home office and having the ability to stream the Tapo camera on my laptop while I'm using my PC without having to get my mobile phone each time to check the camera would be so much better and convenient. Considering how popular TP-Link products are, I was really surprised there wasn't any official TP-Link Windows app for the Tapo device.
