Hello @Cebujohn 

Thank you for choosing TP-Link. 

It requires some setup on both the camera and NVR side to record videos into  VIGI NVR​​​​​​​

• On the NVR side:  Configure Recording Schedules on the VIGI NVR 
• On tapo camera side: set up an account to use the onvif as How to view Tapo camera on PC through RTSP stream?

For more details of using VIGI NVR, you may also start a thread in the VIGI Surveillance Forums or more help.
