Tapo Doorbell RTSP Support
Hi, can anyone tell me how to get the RTSP stream user/pass for a Tapo hardwired doorbell? It seems to be listening on the RTSP port, but I cannot get any user/pass combo to work. The Tapo FAQ mentions how to configure the "Camera Account", but this option is missing from my Tapo app. I only have Powerline Frequency and Diagnostics in that menu. I've with Always On mode enabled and disabled. I've verified that it shows 100% battery. I'm using an Amcrest NVR, but I've also just tried with VLC. Thanks!

@sh809188 just wanted to report that I've had my first hiccup with this firmware. It had been running flawlessly. It looks like as of 23:42 last night, the video feed stopped. I did not notice until this morning. I also could not get the video feed to start from my phone on the Tapo app. But the doorbell was otherwise responsive. Ringing the bell sent the notification to our phones, etc. just no video. I was able to reboot the device through the app, and video resumed normally. I've since enabled "diagnostics" in the app, in case this happens again. Just wanted to pass this along.

Just got this new doorbell and after searching how to enable the RTSP stream I found this topic. Any news when this function will be included in the stable firmware? And it is certain this will eventually be included?
Some other competing brands have also promised a RTSP stream for their doorbells years ago but never delivered on that promise. Seeing almost all Tapo camera have this functionality I'm really hoping TP-link will include this.

Good morning
I've just installed the door too, but it seems that the video feed is not shared with google home, nor with home-assistant. My doorbell is externally powered however.
Would the beta firmware still be a solution? Or has it been rolled out allready?
I'm waiting to send my mac-address, because I'm hesitant to switch to the beta version without being sure it will solve my issue...

@Wayne-TP I think I'll have to make my own thread then. In Home Assistant I still do not get my stream...
[EDIT] If I restart my cam, the video feed works briefly, after a while it's broken again...

Did you stream the camera through RTSP/ONVIF protocol? How to view Tapo camera on PC/NAS/NVR through RTSP/Onvif Protocol
What error did you receive when the streaming stops?

@Wayne-TP I've restarted the camera (as I did the first time) but as of now the camera is still going strong. Home Assistant and the RTSP stream remain working.
Google Home does not work however. That remains black...

Do you stream the camera on a Google display device? Or do you mean in the Google Home app?
What's the model, hardware and firmware version of your doorbell?

@Wayne-TP
Firmware version: V 1.1.14 build 240929 Rel.63130n
And for Google Home; in the app the doorbell is linked, so I get the alerts when someone rings the doorbel or for motion, person detection, ... But the live video feed cannot be loaded:

What's the model of your doorbell? As I understand most Tapo camera does not support being viewed in the Google Home app.
