Thanks for Watching
Fantastic, I got my C310's integrated in no time following this vid. Many thanks.
Thanks for this video. It only took me a few minutes to get my camera up-and-running in Home Assistant. I am using the Tapo C110, which is a non-panning, budget model (under USD30, AUD50, GBP30 at the time of writing (July 22). Excellent quality and features at this budget.
I found your video while searching for a tutorial to set up a TAPO C110 camera. It worked perfect. I have it installed in Home Assistant. Thank you very much. The VLC player test worked great.
WOW ! It's working for my Dahua camera and NVR. Just configured as ffmpeg and is now working... Thank you !!
Glad to hear it worked for you
Just picked this up for £25 from amazon. Thanks for the vid took me 2 mins to get it imported into my HA.
Great vid. I can't find that camera on this side of the pond, but we do have a TP-Link KC110 model which looks decent enough. I'm new to Home Assistant. Showing this in a clean install was perfect. I managed to get Home Assistant working with my 2 Mitsubishi "Mr. Slims" AC units. That was enough for me to get hooked. This "baby step" approach was perfect. Thank you.
Glad it was of benefit to you. Once your hooked your bank balance will never look the same again
Jawoll endlich mal jemand der was drauf hat ohne schnick schnack Geräte einrichtet Gruss Franz
Thank you so much, you were a big help in getting my camera set up!
Well done, clear and concise instructions. Easy to follow along. All in all, a great vid
Easy to install. Bright as ever.
Wow. It works. thank you very much. Now I have my c200 in HA.
Very epic video! Helped me getting started with my first RTSP Camera!
Cheers for this video dude! Was remote viewing my C200 on NubaCasa in minutes thanks to this. Subscribed!
nice how-to video. How about of the stream... can it save it on home assistant or on some mounted drive ?
please put the used in the links in the description
Thanks for clear and well working instruction.
If the camera has a pan/tilt function like the Tapo C500, is it possible to have access to that functionality? or can that only be done through the phone app?
Hi, great job ! Very thanks for this video !
Today I bought, installed and integrated the camera into your home assistant according to your instructions and everything works! thank you for the tutorial and video.
Thanks for the help, worked a treat and I’m a novice. Can you do a video on adding the Tapo P100 plugs to Home Assistant ?
Hi Robert. I have just picked some of these plugs up so yes I can. Watch this space.
@@leestechprep great looking forward to it !
Strange enough it did not worked in vlc but works fine in homeassistant.
Thanks a lot! This was very helpful.
Hey there i have a tapo c310 and i can't acces my camera via VLC it says that it can't connect, please help any advices ?
Thanks a lot , this worked for me in my HA
very nice video.
please answer following questions as i am planning to buy this camera
1.If my wifi/internet is not available ,will it continue recording on SD card??
2.if i switch off my camera for some reason,and when switch on again,will it connect to wifi automatically when available??
and will it start recording on SD card from the time i switch it on again.

Hi.. can I view my tapo on my smart TV? Or would I need to buy android TV box (about£30 from Amazon)
Thanks for the video man! Subscribed
thanks for sharing.
How add 2 or more tapo cameras ?
Hi! Can you help me on how to locate and integrate MIPC camera for livestream in Home Assistant
Thank you! You helped me to choose which camera I'm gonna buy. There is any possibility to send PTZ commands to the camera from hassio?
Hi Lee, the whisperer..
What about motion detection?
Hi, your video is great and it help me to setup one of my C210 but i dont find the way to add the other two cam that I have. Can you please advise if there is anything else can be done. Thanks in advance
Got mine working through onvif - don't know if this is better or not but RTSP was being a bit flaky, copy of entry in configuration.yaml below, obviously change IP address to yours & update username and password but otherwise that's it, then changed camera 'card' to be Camera View (optional) to "LIVE" [under EDIT ] and not AUTO otherwise updates are very very slow, hope this helps someone
camera:
- platform: onvif
name: C200 Onvif
host: 192.168.1.69:2020/onvif/device_service
port: 2020
username: myusername
password: mypassword
Thanks for the great informative video. What are the laptop computer specifications that will work for linking the Tapo C210? E.g. Windows 10, i5 or i7 processor, etc??
Thank you!, nice guideline.
Nice one Lee, good tip on using VLC to check the stream could save lots of pain later on as you say, my .yaml file is getting bigger and bigger so I do prefer to check stuff first before tinkering with it! If you don’t mind me asking what you running HA on? Is that the cause of the delay? Thinking of getting a Pi v4 4gb to boost my HA a bit as it’s flagging on a Pi v3 now
Thanks Adrian. I'm currently running on a pi V3 but also think of the update. The dealt was also present in VLC running on my windows machine but not as noticeable. Could be the kick I need to upgrade 🤔
And how to do it for more than one tapo camera?
Can you toggle home/away from home assistant? Or maby toggle motion detection on off from HA?
janneck larsson i would like to know also...
did you make an onvif video to control the pan and tilt?..............
Very useful 👍 thank you so much
Muito obrigado 🙏🏼🙌🏼✌🏼
IS IT POSSIBLE to get an action in home assistant when a motion is detected by the camera? If so, please let me know...
Hey, have you done this? I have just set up the camera, and I'm wondering if it is possible to set automation.
Mário Bevilaqua It had to change brand cause of idle answer from this youtube creator! 🤯 Sad you cant answer... then you dont get ant followers either!
@ Have you found a solution?
Thank you so much !!!!
Can you do a similar video for xiaomi camera configuration on home assistant?
Thank you for the video. My tp-link id is my email address, but I don't think VLC likes the @ in the username. Do you know if I can log into the camera using VLC with an email address as the username?
Have you or anyone else setup a TP-LINK Tapo C320WS with home assistant ?
Hey Lee! Nice video. I figured out how to watch my livestream (through VLC) on my PC through the account they want us to make and the 544 port but I am now wondering about saving fotoage to a Cloud system. Have you given it nay thoughts or do you know how I would go about? The Tapo app lack such a feature wich is sad, one would think TP-Link would have it integrated cause of their reputation but not. Apparently they have a whole other Camera line for Cloud based services (called TP link-Cloud) lol.
Wish I could save the for example 48hours of footage online and have it overwrite itself automatically in case someone steals the camera from my home.
(I have yet to create any Homeassistant/hub if that is necessary, right now I'm just looking for ideas..)
Cheers!
did you look into motionEye?
Many thanks, I found the audio a little quiet for me though
Thanks Bob. I will have a look at that for my next video
Can you add more live feeds when I install multiple cameras on a i5 pc without delays?
Thank you, very useful information! Does this work of I update the camera firmware?
Thanks for the comment. Mine is on the latest firmware and works fine
Thanks for sharing but why did you do the raw text edit config at 13 minutes rather then do it in the normal card at 11minutes, just made it more complex. Cheers
P.s. turn on advanced controls for your user, always best to do a ‘Check Config’ after editing the yaml files before doing the restart. Don’t ask me how I know that! 😢
Hi Shaun. I just find that when adding extra function to a card that is not part of the preconfigured settings the raw editor is easier to use. Each to there own. You are correct a check config is always a good idea too.
Thanks! Very helpfull!
I'm trying to set this camera with chromecast I get so far then the screen says Smart Home Camera can you show how to connect it properly thanks
Can I put my tapo on tv view so I can see it on tv aswel
And how do I do it
Thank you
has anything changed since updates to Tapo or HA?
Tapo C200 HV 3.0 | FW 1.3.0
HA 2022.11.5
I can get a feed streaming in VLC but once I set up the camera via config.yml I keep getting grey box with a disconnected symbol in the middle.
I have the C110. I have it sitting in a window pointed out into the yard. It works really well during the daylight. But at night the reflection in the glass from the ir lights blinds everything. Does anyone know a way to tell the camera to not turn on the ir lights at night?
Ive successfully installed my tapo c210 on HA, controls and sensors work fine but I get no streaming at all. Don't know what to do. Any suggestions? Notice my HA is remotely hosted on a VPS so maybe that's the issue.
Thanks greatly for the review. TP-Link say in their Support Info that if using Google Home to view the stream duration is limited to a maximum tiime of 10 minutes then you need to restart the stream. Does the same apply in Home Assistant ?
Thank You :)
Thanks
how do u add 2 cameras for this skript?
Can Home Assistant upload these image to an e-mail account?
Hi how can i view this camera remotely please? I have the same one and cant view the camera from a separate location only within the houses network that the camera is connected too but i would like to share my stream to friends computers
thks for your video well explained. missing some links and text in the video description (it it easier for lazy people to copy instead of writing :)) . please, if you find how to control the tilt to this camera in home assistant, do not hezitate to post a new video :) thanks again

HI, can you help me how can i find rtsp link for Escam QD300 camera?
Hi Gerge. From a quick Google it looks like it should be the following.
rtsp://ip-addr/user=admin&password=&channel=1&stream=0.sdp
Hope that helps
Lee
How would I add a second tapo camera?
Add a second camera to configuration.yaml:
- platform: ffmpeg
name: tapo_c100_Garage
input: rtsp://garage:pw_garage@ip_garage:554/stream1
- platform: ffmpeg
name: tapo_c100_Carport
input: rtsp://carport:pw_carport@ip_carport:554/stream1
Do you know if it supports MJPEG?
Can I view tapo through android TV box please?
Sorry Martin I have no idea. Android TV boxes is something I haven't played around with as yet. Will be interested to hear if you get this working
Did not work for me , VLC connection fails
hi, I have that message "The system cannot restart because the configuration is not valid: Invalid config for [camera.ffmpeg]: required key not provided @ data['input']. Got None. (See ?, line ?). Invalid config for [camera]: required key not provided @ data['platform']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 18). Invalid config for [camera]: required key not provided @ data['platform']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 18). "
????
probably an issue with yaml syntax. be very careful about line breaks and indentation. even one space could ruin the file
Does this require any cloud setup to get to that point where you can extract the rtsp url? I try to avoid any vendor cloud environment if possible.
There is a way you can add to HA and then take away the cloud function...........search in the HA forum for Tapo integration.
méthode impossible si on utilise une carte sd...
cant get mine to work ever time i press play its wanting a password and my name so i put it in and its not letting me pass that bit i try diff4rent pages any help been trying for weeks to get this right
What are you using to view the video feed?
@@leestechprep pc and tryed vlc and ispy
How do I add a second and third camera to the configuration.yaml file? I have tried different ways with no luck :(
There is a integration for the Tapo camera’s which allow you to add as many as you want. Install with HAC’S then into integrations and search for tapo.
Is there audio in rtsp streaming?
That's a good question. I don't have the camera set up just now but will have a look in the next few days
yes
does this only work with new versions of these camera, mine only seem to work on cloud pased system and no ip in settings
can i store fotage on nas
Is this info still applicable?, i tried it but despite the config yaml being correct it does not show as an entity and i don't know what to do
Yes. I just followed the instructions from this video and got my C200 imported in HA within minutes.
not working
sorry, just too quiet
Maybe next time go direct to the point but thanks for your video
