If it is an option to you, i'd return it. There are other cameras on the market that come with software to view on you PC, a tablet, you phone, whatever you want. I played back and forth with the TP-Link company and no one could ever explain why their tech's could not come up with the software to do this. So, I did return all my cameras and told them where they could "store" them. 

Best of luck

You can view Tapo camera on windows 10, using Security Eye, once installed.

 

In the tapo app create an account for the camera, username and password.

 

Then run Security Eye on Pc.

 

Select add camera, enter details Ip address etc username and password for camera, 

 

Once complete you can watch live feed record onto pc hard drive. 

I was (somehow) able to use Security eye before. But I had to reinstall my windows, and since then I can not make it work again. Should I disable windows firewall or something?

  @Solla-topee thank you for this summary.

Why do we need to play around that way? 

It is such a trivial feature to develop a software and let us control the camera by PC.

I ordered 5 cameras and I'm thinking of giving them back to some more expensive ones just in order to be able to control them easily by PC.

It's frustrating

  @Solla-topee Well you certainly don't have my understanding, these are "home security devices", so only offering solutions for managing them on phones is utterly moronic. Whoever comprehensively evaluated that is a buffoon and is gonna cost your company a lot of sales in the long run. I'm certainly never buying another TP-Link camera until there's an actual sane way to manage them.

I appreciate your understanding.
