Q4.1 How can I use Tapo Cameras with Chromecast?

A: To use Tapo cameras with Google Assistant, you need a Google Chromecast, a Google Home Hub and any smart display that supports Chromecast (such as a TV with built-in Chromecast). After configured, you can watch the live feed from any Tapo cameras via a spoken command, and you can refer to this link to know the commands the camera support.

Currently, the Tapo cameras don’t support the “camera on/off” command due to possible security risks. For example, an intruder could potentially shut off your cameras with a simple command.

Watching the live feed of Tapo cameras through Google Assistant will use your internet traffic as it’s a Cloud-to-Cloud service. In consideration of your extranet traffic and performance, the live feed will stop after 5 minutes. However, you can ask Google to show the camera again if you want to continue streaming.

Q4.2 How to view a Tapo camera on a computer? Can it be viewed via a web browser?

A: Currently, we don’t have camera control software for a PC nor can we view the Tapo camera directly on the web, we can only watch Live View of the Tapo Camera on the Tapo App or sync the camera screen to devices like Echo show, fire TV, etc.

Or users may use third-party software to view and manage the camera, and here is the detailed instructions.

Q4.3 Will the Tapo camera work with NAS or NVR/DVR?

A: The Tapo camera supports the standard ONVIF protocol (Profile S), so it will work with NVR/DVR or NAS devices that support the standard ONVIF protocol as well.

Tapo C310 Outdoor Security Wi-Fi Camera review: an affordable outdoor camera with excellent night vision

Image
Welcome to our review of the Tapo C310 Outoor Security Wi-Fi Camera. Tapo is a smart home brand from networking giant TP-Link, and the C310 is designed to deliver key features for a very low price. It’s a tough outdoor camera that works with Wi-Fi or wired connections, and it connects directly to your router without requiring a separate hub. But, the important question is, does the Tapo C310 fulfil your needs? That's what this review is designed to make clear. Should  you  buy the Tapo C310 in 2022? This isn't a totally wireless security camera like the Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera, because it still needs a power cable. Unusually for a Wi-Fi camera, the C310 is not designed around a cloud storage subscription – something that sets it apart from most of the best security cameras and means it may work out cheaper in the long term than similarly priced rivals, though with some trade-offs. If you want a no-frills wireless outdoor camera...
