Model: Tapo C220   Tapo C500  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.3.2

Hi, i'm trying to use onvif motion detection on third party scripts on some C220 (FW 1.3.2 Build 250610 Rel.61762n) and C500 (FW:1.3.5 Build 250428 Rel.41828n).

 

Notifications and motion/person detection works great in the tapo app. I've configured a user for the onvif/rtsp stream in the app and rtsp stream works fine in frigate.

The cameras are exposing onvif device_service page, but there's no support for Events / PullPointSubscription, so i cant receive notification but only rtsp stream.

Should't the camera provide Events like PullPointSubscription, GetEventProperties, ecc.?

Typical error i'm getting:

Unknown error: Device doesn’t support service: pullpoint with namespace http://www.onvif.org/ver10/events/wsdl/PullPointSubscription

 

nmap scan

554/tcp  open   rtsp

2020/tcp open   tcpwrapped 

8443/tcp open   ssl/https-alt

 

 

GetDeviceInformation works: shows model and firmware.

GetCapabilities does not include Events 

GetEventProperties fails: session is closed o NoneType.

CreatePullPointSubscription fails with: Unknown error: Device doesn’t support service: pullpoint with namespace http://www.onvif.org/ver10/events/wsdl/PullPointSubscription

 

 

I never used it before so I don't know if on older firmware onvif worked

Hi,
Is the phenomenon you're currently experiencing that you can successfully set up an ONVIF stream on the third-party Frigate app to view the camera's live feed, but not receive motion detection notifications on the Frigate app?

 

If so, please test with other third-party apps, such as iSpy, to see if you can receive motion detection notifications on them after establishing the ONVIF connection.

 

Best Regards
