Firmware Version:

Hello,

I bought the C425 camera hoping to use it majority of time as a wired camers and I didn't even bother to check basic functionaility like being able to get RTSP stream on my network.

I can understad that non-wired applications will be having bad battery life but the decision to cut this feature from all cameras is bad decision and mostly driven your desire to force people to use your app.

When changing FPS in the settings i get notified that more FPS will mean worse battery life, why you couldn't do this for the streams as well?

Since this feature was before available on other devices your explanation on this page https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/2680/ lacks any logic.

 

At least give people an option to revert back to FW where it was working.

 

I am glad I bought only one camera and I can buy my other cameras from someone else.

 

R.

  @Solla-topee That thread will be 2 years old in 2 months and you want people to concentrate there? Gutting RTSP option was a conscious decision from tp-link so they force people into their app. Stop making this difficult when we all know that you still have the option in source control or you just put flag to disable it.

As mentioned before, there is not rational reason for removing this feature.
