Home Assistant - Tp-Link tapo C200 WiFi Camera (rtsp camera) 

stumbled upon this after almost giving up. THANKS, subscribed!

Thanks for this video. It only took me a few minutes to get my camera up-and-running in Home Assistant. I am using the Tapo C110, which is a non-panning, budget model (under USD30, AUD50, GBP30 at the time of writing (July 22). Excellent quality and features at this budget.

I found your video while searching for a tutorial to set up a TAPO C110 camera. It worked perfect. I have it installed in Home Assistant. Thank you very much. The VLC player test worked great.

WOW ! It's working for my Dahua camera and NVR. Just configured as ffmpeg and is now working... Thank you !!

Just picked this up for £25 from amazon. Thanks for the vid took me 2 mins to get it imported into my HA.

Fantastic, I got my C310's integrated in no time following this vid. Many thanks.

Great vid. I can't find that camera on this side of the pond, but we do have a TP-Link KC110 model which looks decent enough. I'm new to Home Assistant. Showing this in a clean install was perfect. I managed to get Home Assistant working with my 2 Mitsubishi "Mr. Slims" AC units. That was enough for me to get hooked. This "baby step" approach was perfect. Thank you.

Thank you for the video. My tp-link id is my email address, but I don't think VLC likes the @ in the username. Do you know if I can log into the camera using VLC with an email address as the username?

Thank you so much, you were a big help in getting my camera set up!

nice how-to video. How about of the stream... can it save it on home assistant or on some mounted drive ?

Jawoll endlich mal jemand der was drauf hat ohne schnick schnack Geräte einrichtet Gruss Franz

Very epic video! Helped me getting started with my first RTSP Camera!

Well done, clear and concise instructions. Easy to follow along. All in all, a great vid

Cheers for this video dude! Was remote viewing my C200 on NubaCasa in minutes thanks to this. Subscribed!

Wow. It works. thank you very much. Now I have my c200 in HA.

realy good even today. Thanks a lot

Thank you! You helped me to choose which camera I'm gonna buy. There is any possibility to send PTZ commands to the camera from hassio?

If the camera has a pan/tilt function like the Tapo C500, is it possible to have access to that functionality? or can that only be done through the phone app?

Thanks for the great informative video. What are the laptop computer specifications that will work for linking the Tapo C210? E.g. Windows 10, i5 or i7 processor, etc??

Hi, your video is great and it help me to setup one of my C210 but i dont find the way to add the other two cam that I have. Can you please advise if there is anything else can be done. Thanks in advance

Thanks for clear and well working instruction.

Easy to install. Bright as ever.

please put the used in the links in the description

Hey there i have a tapo c310 and i can't acces my camera via VLC it says that it can't connect, please help any advices ?

Hey Lee! Nice video. I figured out how to watch my livestream (through VLC) on my PC through the account they want us to make and the 544 port but I am now wondering about saving fotoage to a Cloud system. Have you given it nay thoughts or do you know how I would go about? The Tapo app lack such a feature wich is sad, one would think TP-Link would have it integrated cause of their reputation but not. Apparently they have a whole other Camera line for Cloud based services (called TP link-Cloud) lol. Wish I could save the for example 48hours of footage online and have it overwrite itself automatically in case someone steals the camera from my home. (I have yet to create any Homeassistant/hub if that is necessary, right now I'm just looking for ideas..) Cheers!

Thanks for the help, worked a treat and I’m a novice. Can you do a video on adding the Tapo P100 plugs to Home Assistant ?

thanks for sharing. How add 2 or more tapo cameras ?

Nice one Lee, good tip on using VLC to check the stream could save lots of pain later on as you say, my .yaml file is getting bigger and bigger so I do prefer to check stuff first before tinkering with it! If you don’t mind me asking what you running HA on? Is that the cause of the delay? Thinking of getting a Pi v4 4gb to boost my HA a bit as it’s flagging on a Pi v3 now

Hi! Can you help me on how to locate and integrate MIPC camera for livestream in Home Assistant

did you make an onvif video to control the pan and tilt?..............

very nice video. please answer following questions as i am planning to buy this camera 1.If my wifi/internet is not available ,will it continue recording on SD card?? 2.if i switch off my camera for some reason,and when switch on again,will it connect to wifi automatically when available?? and will it start recording on SD card from the time i switch it on again. i mean would it have recording available of the time b4 switching off and will it record again when it is switched on whether wifi available or not. 3.What is the angle(area covered in degrees) it cover when it's position is fixed?? 4.Can we see live video or access the camera through app on more than 1 mobile,suppose 2 or family member wanna see the recording if other family member is not available? 5.Can we download old recording from memory card to our mobile using application . please try answer pointwise. thanks in adavance

What about motion detection?

Hi, great job ! Very thanks for this video !

Can you toggle home/away from home assistant? Or maby toggle motion detection on off from HA?

Thanks a lot , this worked for me in my HA

Thank you, very useful information! Does this work of I update the camera firmware?

Can you add more live feeds when I install multiple cameras on a i5 pc without delays?

IS IT POSSIBLE to get an action in home assistant when a motion is detected by the camera? If so, please let me know...

Thanks for sharing but why did you do the raw text edit config at 13 minutes rather then do it in the normal card at 11minutes, just made it more complex. Cheers P.s. turn on advanced controls for your user, always best to do a ‘Check Config’ after editing the yaml files before doing the restart. Don’t ask me how I know that! 😢

And how to do it for more than one tapo camera?

Thanks greatly for the review. TP-Link say in their Support Info that if using Google Home to view the stream duration is limited to a maximum tiime of 10 minutes then you need to restart the stream. Does the same apply in Home Assistant ?

Thanks a lot! This was very helpful.

Ive successfully installed my tapo c210 on HA, controls and sensors work fine but I get no streaming at all. Don't know what to do. Any suggestions? Notice my HA is remotely hosted on a VPS so maybe that's the issue.

Thanks for the video man! Subscribed

I'm trying to set this camera with chromecast I get so far then the screen says Smart Home Camera can you show how to connect it properly thanks

has anything changed since updates to Tapo or HA? Tapo C200 HV 3.0 | FW 1.3.0 HA 2022.11.5 I can get a feed streaming in VLC but once I set up the camera via config.yml I keep getting grey box with a disconnected symbol in the middle.

Do you know if it supports MJPEG?

Many thanks, I found the audio a little quiet for me though

Can I put my tapo on tv view so I can see it on tv aswel And how do I do it

Can Home Assistant upload these image to an e-mail account?

how do u add 2 cameras for this skript?

Hi how can i view this camera remotely please? I have the same one and cant view the camera from a separate location only within the houses network that the camera is connected too but i would like to share my stream to friends computers

Thank you so much !!!!

Dude, have you linked the wrong cam in the desc? I don’t get the £25 Tapo cam I get a £35 Kasa cam? Or is it just my browser playing up?

I have the C110. I have it sitting in a window pointed out into the yard. It works really well during the daylight. But at night the reflection in the glass from the ir lights blinds everything. Does anyone know a way to tell the camera to not turn on the ir lights at night?

Can you do a similar video for xiaomi camera configuration on home assistant?

Muito obrigado 🙏🏼🙌🏼✌🏼

Thank you!, nice guideline.

Strange enough it did not worked in vlc but works fine in homeassistant.

Does this require any cloud setup to get to that point where you can extract the rtsp url? I try to avoid any vendor cloud environment if possible.

Have you or anyone else setup a TP-LINK Tapo C320WS with home assistant ?

Thanks! Very helpfull!

Very useful 👍 thank you so much

Hi Lee, the whisperer..

HI, can you help me how can i find rtsp link for Escam QD300 camera?

Can I view tapo through android TV box please?

the thing is, i cant view the footage both on my phone and my PC at the same time. it says one device at a time. can somebody please help me out about this issue?

Got mine working through onvif - don't know if this is better or not but RTSP was being a bit flaky, copy of entry in configuration.yaml below, obviously change IP address to yours & update username and password but otherwise that's it, then changed camera 'card' to be Camera View (optional) to "LIVE" [under EDIT ] and not AUTO otherwise updates are very very slow, hope this helps someone camera: - platform: onvif name: C200 Onvif host: 192.168.1.69:2020/onvif/device_service port: 2020 username: myusername password: mypassword

How would I add a second tapo camera?

Thank You :)

Thank you

Is there audio in rtsp streaming?

Is this info still applicable?, i tried it but despite the config yaml being correct it does not show as an entity and i don't know what to do

hi, I have that message "The system cannot restart because the configuration is not valid: Invalid config for [camera.ffmpeg]: required key not provided @ data['input']. Got None. (See ?, line ?). Invalid config for [camera]: required key not provided @ data['platform']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 18). Invalid config for [camera]: required key not provided @ data['platform']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 18). " ????

does this only work with new versions of these camera, mine only seem to work on cloud pased system and no ip in settings

How do I add a second and third camera to the configuration.yaml file? I have tried different ways with no luck :(

Thanks
