Model: Tapo C320WS  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: Latest

Hello,

 

I am trying to get my Tapo C320WS in to Frigate,

 

I currently can view my tapo camera using the rtsp stream in programs like ODM,

Also I was able to get my camera working on Synology Surveilance Station on my DS-712+ NAS,

 

So im pretty sure all settings and accounts on the camera itself are ok.

 

The reason I want to switch to Frigate running on my Ubuntu server is because my "old" synology NAS gets WAY to slow when its also taking care of the camera.

 

But for the life of me I can not get this camera to work in Frigate,

 

I tried the rstp stream

I tried the Tapo stream in go2rtc using both admin cloud password or a hashed SHA265 password 

 

Found alot of posts of people who got Tapo camera's working, but there settings wont work for me :(

 

does anyone have a basic Frigate config.yaml setting for a TP-Link Tapo camera , ONLY to view the stream, I dont want to do any detection or anything yet, I just wana get the stream working and than I can start from there.

 

I am running Frigate in docker on a Ubuntu server

 

Any tips or example config files (without your passwords afcourse) would be much appreciated,

 

 

thank you,

 

Hans

Hi,
You can refer to the instructions below to see the configuration you need to set up on the camera when establishing the RTSP/Onvif connection. The instructions also include some examples on how to add a camera to third-party apps.

If you fail to establish the RTSP/Onvif connection, please follow the instructions below to troubleshoot.
What can I do if fail to stream the Tapo camera via the RTSP/ONVIF protocol?

Best Regards
