Model: Tapo C210  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.3.11

Please hep me on this case

 

I recently bought TAPO C210 and set-up. I successfully set-up and connect to WIFI, but it says 

"THIS SMART DEVICE CAN ONLY BE CONTROLLED LOCALLY". 

 

I tried to go outisde of the house and view the cam but it says it is offline. 

 

How do i view the cam if i am outside or out of town.

 

Appreciate your assistance on this.

  @Solla-topee I think I figured it out and resolved it. Base on the thread I read. I tried to create another account TP-LINK ID and re set-up the TAPO C210 and now able to view even I'm outside the network

  @krima 

Hi,
You can refer to the instructions below to troubleshoot if you can't control the camera remotely.
What to do if I can't control my Tapo cameras on the Tapo app?
 

If the problem remains, please confirm:
1. The troubleshooting you have tried and the results.
2. The LED status on the camera.
3. Send me(@Solla-topee) the MAC address of the camera via a private message.

 

You can try to enable a hotspot Wi-Fi on a phone, factory reset the camera, reconfigure it with another phone to connect it to the hotspot Wi-Fi, and check if you can control it locally and remotely.

 

Best Regards
