Use TP-Link "Tapo C210" on your PC or NAS! Utilizing unsupported ONVIF support [Initial B] --INTERNET Watch

Not supported but firmly ONVIF compatible

In 2021, when it was announced that it would support ONVIF, we supported crowdfunding of a small and low-priced network camera, but in the end, it was announced that ONVIF support would be postponed, and RTSP support was announced as an alternative. Has become incomplete.

Instead, when I was looking for a reasonable, ONVIF-compatible, and pan-tilt-compatible network camera, the TP-Link "Tapo C210" introduced this time was introduced.

There is also a conventional model "Tapo C200", but the camera part has been strengthened in the C210, and in addition to supporting shooting with 3MP, it also supports 256GB microSD card, and some functional enhancements have been made. The actual selling price is also a small difference from 4148 yen for Tapo C200 to 4445 yen, so it is a bargain model.

Basically, it is a network camera used in the "Tapo" app for smartphones, and it is not only easy to set up, but also check and record video, talk using the camera's microphone and speaker, sound and light by video detection. You can give a warning by.

In addition, you can check the video on Amazon Echo Show 5, and by combining it with a paid cloud service, you can detect people using cloud recording and AI and detect baby's crying, making it a fairly multifunctional product. ..

Also, it supports ONVIF, which is the most important personally, even though it is not supported by the company, and it is also characterized by its high versatility.

ONVIF is an abbreviation for Open Network Video Interface Forum, which is a standard for network cameras that can be used from a PC or linked with NAS. It is possible to access the basic functions of network cameras in a common way without considering differences in manufacturers and models.

In short, if it supports ONVIF, it can be controlled from a NAS or application as a general-purpose network camera.

Tapo C210 supports ONVIF profile S, and supports PTZ control as well as video streaming.

As mentioned above, use from third-party software via ONVIF is not supported by the company, and although it is impossible to guarantee operation or make inquiries, these functions are installed and open to users. Is very grateful.
