Connect a TP-Link Tapo camera to VISEC.
Most TP-Link Tapo cameras can stream to VISEC over ONVIF once you create a camera account in the Tapo app. That account is the whole trick, and it is not the same as your TP-Link login.
Press scan.
VISEC searches your network for ONVIF cameras and lists what it finds. If your TP-Link Tapo camera already has ONVIF switched on, it appears here and you are watching live in a few seconds — nothing below is needed.
If the camera does not appear.
Menu names move around between firmware versions, so treat these as the place to look rather than an exact path.
-
Open the camera in the Tapo app
On your phone, open the Tapo app and tap the camera, then the gear icon.
-
Create a camera account
Go to Advanced Settings › Camera Account and create a user name and password. Use something different from your TP-Link ID — this account exists only for software like VISEC.
-
Note the ONVIF port
Tapo cameras answer ONVIF on port 2020, not 80. If VISEC asks for a port, enter 2020.
