Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.4.3

Today I bought a Tapo C310 security camera and completed the setup. The camera is connected to a 2.4GHz network with DNS set to 8.8.8.8. However, I’m still getting a "device can only be controlled locally"  error. I reset the camera, restarted it, and also power-cycled it, but the issue persists. Is there anything else I can try?

Hi,
You can refer to the following instructions to troubleshoot if you can only control the camera locally.
What to do if I can't control my Tapo cameras on the Tapo app?
 

You can also enable a hotspot Wi-Fi on your phone, factory reset the camera, configure it with another phone, connect it to the hotspot Wi-Fi, and then check if you can control it remotely.

 

Best Regards
