I just purchased 2x of the C425. The cameras have such an amazing build quality and design.

However me, like many others, need the RTSP/ONVIF functions for the cameras to be of any use in our current surveillance setups.

It is pretty weird to me that the camera used to have this option, but it was removed in a forced firmware update and came by complete surprise to me as I thought that a camera which can use a Solar kit and is marketed as being able to film non-stop (by a retailer in Finland) isn't able to stream RTSP or ONVIF.

If RTSP/ONVIF removal is related to the fact that those drain the battery so fast, simply make it so that those can be turned on only when the camera is receiving external power from a charger or by solar. But let us decide, please! The fact that the camera isn't designed for continuous recording being the reason for removing RTSP/ONVIF doesn't make sense, since if we turn the motion detection to the most sensitive settings and turn all motion detections on, the camera will be recording almost nonstop if placed in a busy environment.

Please TP-link, Tapo - Please bring RTSP and ONVIF options back for C425.
