Hi,
Usually, the region won't limit the camera Tapo C212 to connect to the internet to work. However, we do not recommend purchasing the product in a different region, since the product may not be powered on properly or connected to a suitable wireless channel, etc., and we do not provide an international warranty either.

For the local-only issue of the Tapo C212, please help check:
1) The MAC address of the camera.
2) The TP-Link ID(email address) you used to log in to the Tapo app.
You can send me the MAC address and TP-Link ID via a private message.

Best Regards

Hi,
You can refer to the link below to troubleshoot if you fail to control the camera remotely.
What to do if I can't control my Tapo cameras on the Tapo app?
 

Please help confirm the following information if the problem remains.
1. The LED status on the Tapo C200.

2. What's the model number of your router? Is the camera connected to it via Wi-Fi directly?
Confirm the Firewall rules, Access Control, and Parental Control entries on your router are disabled if there is one.

3. Send me(@Solla-topee) the MAC address of your Tapo C200 via a private message.

Best Regards
