Model: Tapo C325WB  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

We plan to install some Tapo C325WB cameras in two location where there is no possibility of Internet access. We understand that access to the installed devices would therefore be by connecting to the Access Point(s) that the devices are paired with. In such circumstances, if the devices are shared with other users via the Tapo App, are these other users able to access the devices when connected to the relevant SSIDs or is some Internet access required to validate their access permissions? Users will have standard mobile phone Internet access in addition to being connected to the "no Internet access" SSIDs.

 

Thanks.

Hi,
If the camera obtains an IP address from the Wi-Fi router but has no internet access, you can control it when connecting to the same router's Wi-Fi with the owner account logged in to the Tapo app. It's unable to access the camera with a shared account when it has no internet access.
Best Regards

  @Solla-topee Thanks. Is it possible to access the device from a shared account if the shared account user is connected to the same Wifi as the camera?

@Solla-topee Please make that possible that the camera is accessible to the shared user even if it is not allowed to access the internet.

 

I explicitly bought the camera because of it's offline feature - you don't mention that anywhere in your documentation that the sharing feature does not work if the device can't access the internet.
