It would be useful to watch and control cameras directly on the TV, especially for parents who don't have a device.

One screen can select multiple cameras to display, can control the camera angle adjustment, and can record real-time video and screenshots in time.

  @Wayne-TP the viewing experience on a big screen alone is worth the app on Android Tv and Apple TV.  Monitoring office, home or baby will be very very much easier on a big screen than on a tablet or a phone.  We have more than 10 Tapo cameras, monitoring on a tablet will need eyeglasses hahaha.

Hello everyone, regarding this feature request, we would like to understand what you specifically want to accomplish with the app on the TV. Please share your thoughts with us so that our product team can better understand this feature request and evaluate it.

 

  1. Watch Tapo camera.
  2. Control other Tapo smart devices. >> A question: why not use a phone or tablet?  Personally, touch controls are likely much more convenient than using a TV remote.

So please, hope we can have this.

Hi I would like to just let the camera play on the tv. Having to watch the video over a phone or tablet drains alot of battery and it's inconvenient.

 

If it is playing on  the tv, I can just do my other things and come and see the screen every now and then.

 

Also the size is bigger.

 

Kindly let me know if there's a fix

Hi, it would be if tapo can be viewed on the TV using google TV or FireTV via Tapo App so it can be used like other security cameras where you can just view each camera in the panel on the TV. I have tried iSpy but quality is poor and very unstable connection.

I am using Tapo cameras at my grocery store. The problem is that I have an Android TV there, but it only shows one camera at a time, and that too with errors. It often takes a long time to load, and after a while, it stops streaming. My store deals directly with customers, and to keep an eye on them, I need to access all my cameras at the same time. Unfortunately, I’ve had a very bad experience with Tapo cameras at the store. It is crucial to have an Android app for the TV so the cameras can stream live on the screen while I’m working. Otherwise, there’s no point in having multiple Tapo cameras at any shop. I’m sure many other stores might avoid using Tapo cameras because of this issue, and I will never recommend them to anyone until there’s an app for Android TV.
