Model: Tapo C420S2  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.0

Hi,

I would like to connect to my Tapo C420 from Windows in order to stream to a browser window or for integration with Synology Surveillance Station.

However, within my network environment, I only the the H200 hub but not the cameras.

Also, the method to get the camera's IP address, described for other Tapo cameras, does not seem to work for the C420. The page for camera details shows the MAC Address but not an IP address.

 

Does the C420 support ONVIF/RTSP?

And how would access to the camera work?

 

Thanks.

Hello  @signag 

Thank you for being interested in Tapo Wire Free camera Tapo C420/ Tapo C420S2

The Tapo C420 camera doesn't support ONVIF or RTSP protocol in the design due to the battery power-saving consideration.  

 

I recommend consider some other Tapo outdoor cameras like Tapo C310 or 2K model Tapo C320 , while they use a power cord.

Here are some installation videoes that may help
