Tapo C120 notifications on local network

Model: Tapo C120

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.1.13

I am using the Tapo C120 with the Tapo app, this works great and notifications work as well.

Next, I would like to retrieve notifications about motion events from the device so I can hook up my domoticz home automation framework. I looked at using ONVIF, but I was not able to retrieve motion events.

Is there a way either by using ONVIF or a different protocol to retrieve motion events from the Tapo C120 device ?

Hi,
Please help confirm the following information for the reported case.
1. What app/program do you use to watch the camera via the ONVIF connection? Can you stream the camera proper on the app/program?

2. Can you receive the motion-detected notifications on the Tapo app without any issues?

Best Regards

Hi,

1. I am trying out an Onvif script to get events using an Onvif pullpoint: https://github.com/FalkTannhaeuser/python-onvif-zeep/blob/zeep/examples/events.py

2. Yes, the app itself works fine. I am trying to get events via my local network my home automation scripting.

Hi,
We don't have an Onvif script that we can provide you, and I can't ensure that if your Onvif script is correct. Usually, when you stream the camera on a third-party app via ONVIF connection, such as iSpy, you can configure the detection and alert settings on the iSpy app to receive notifications on it when the camera detects motions.
