Save Videos on FTP Server / SMB share
Hi,
Many users have a Fritzbox Router or another router model that provides a simple FTP Server or SMB share functionality.
You can simply plugin a USB stick into our router and use it as NAS via FTP or SMB.
Unfortunately the TAPO C320WS does not provide a feature for saving the videos on an FTP server or an SMB share.
Would be great to have that feature. It would save money and energy because I would not have to by a dedicated NAS to store the recordings in my network.
Any solution would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Camera is useless without network storage: FTP/SMB. Anybody can stole the camera AND storage too.
So, Tp-link do you have any firmware upgrade plans??? Or we need to move to other cameras? Use "cloud" storage option for high end cameras. Please let us with entry level cameras to store easily/cheap via FTP or SMB protocol.
Thanks

I bought a Tapo C325WB camera thinking that I could use the FTP protocol.
I was expecting to replace six ~10years old camera with Tapo but I really need this feature.
This is a must-have feature for me, is this feature being implemented soon?
I would like to avoid returning the product and look for another camera, I really liked the AI and the integration with the SmartThings home automation currently available.

I don't think they will ever provide this feature, they want you to subscribe to their cloud storage so you keep paying them.
If you want to store the backups locally I recommend you buying another brand such as ReoLink

Would be nice if support will answer about that request. Seems many people want to use this feature.
I stopped buying more cameras because my cameras are not able to use FTP/SMB.
I bought a H200 hub and hoped that it would save the videos but later I saw that only a few camera types are supported. Not mine, of course! :(
My cams: C225, C520WS, C325WB
