Model: Tapo C500  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.3.5

Hello

I have installed a Tapo C 500, wifi and onvif connected ,on my home router.

I can connect with my android phone from anywhere.

 

Now I want to survey permanently this camera and the smartphone is obviously not a solution.

Using a third party software, (Contacam) I managed to get the picture on my local router with webcam local IP address (192;168. etc etc+ port 2020)

 

Now I am presently away from the camera's location and would like to set up the permanent view over the web on another computer.

I know the public IP address of my home router but I am confused with the rtsp or http protocols and the order to fill up the URL links, the password and the camera's port.

 

Must I go through the same software, or can I use any other free (easy to use!) webcam soft?

 

I have a CTIPC webcam with HIP2P soft but to use it, you must have the camera's UID and I cannot find this item for tapo C-500

 

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
Tapo cameras do not support to be viewed via a web page. If you want to stream the camera remotely on a computer, please refer to the following instructions.
How to View Your Tapo Camera Remotely via RTSP/ONVIF
Best Regards
