Thanks for your answer ! :-)

 

TLDR

I tried to connect with the camera's account via camera's device setting > Advanced setting > Account, i tried to connect via the TP-Link account (my mail + password) with local account activated. I was only able to connect with the local account. I've removed the camera from home assistant and shutdown home assistant to use only tapo app. On each test where i could access to the camera, it always ended by perpetual reboot.

 

Detailed process

 

Note

During the process, a SD card of 64 GB was in to store the local videos. And i did not reset the tapo camera, neither the app. I just moved the toggles to get at the start point (see "what i did on tapo app").

 

1) TP-Link Local account

Result :

What I did on tapo app

1. Go to me > Tapo Lab > Tierce compatibility > Activate
2. Go to Camera’s device setting > Advanced Settings > Camera account > Set the account credentials

 

What I did on Home assistant
1. Give access to internet to the camera

2. Add integration from TP-Link, selected Tapo

3. I let the hostname/ip adress to let the integration search

4. It founds my camera at 192.168.0.160 (accurate), so I validate

5. Check the box “Enable camera live view”

6. Use my local credentials from Tapo App > Camera’s device setting > Advanced setting

7. Attribute it to bedroom

8. Block the internet access to the camera from the router

 

Result : After 1 minute, it has rebooted

 

2) Test with TP-Link account with local deactivated

 

What I did on tapo app
1. Go to me > Tapo Lab > Tierce compatibility > Activate

2. Go to Camera’s device setting > Advanced Settings > Camera account > deactivate the local account

 

What I did on Home assistant
1. Give access to internet to the camera

2. Add integration from TP-Link, selected Tapo

3. I let the hostname/ip adress to let the integration search

4. It founds my camera at 192.168.0.160 (accurate), so I validate

5. Check the box “Enable camera live view”

6. Use my TP-Link credentials (mail address and password)
 

Result : Could not connect. I had this error message : Unable to access the camera stream, verify that you have set up the camera account: [Errno 1094995529] Invalid data found when processing input

 

3) Test with TP-Link account with activated

 

What I did on tapo app
1. Go to me > Tapo Lab > Tierce compatibility > Activate

2. Go to Camera’s device setting > Advanced Settings > Camera account > deactivate the local account

 

What I did on Home assistant
1. Give access to internet to the camera

2. Add integration from TP-Link, selected Tapo

3. I let the hostname/ip adress to let the integration search

4. It founds my camera at 192.168.0.160 (accurate), so I validate

5. Check the box “Enable camera live view”

6. Use my TP-Link credentials (mail address and password)

 

Result : Can’t connect, return this error : “Camera stream authentication failed”, but I’ve been able to connect to it with the “local” account

 

 

Remove from home assistant and block internet access

1. I removed my camera from home assistant
2. I shutdowned home assistant to be sure.
3. I blocked the internet access from my router
 

Result : the camera rebooted after 10 minutes

EDIT : I let this configuration run for 4 hours. In the end, it reboots every minutes too, but when i gave access to internet again, it runs normally.

 

Are there some other tests i should do ?

 

Best regards,
