Tapo Cameras on a Mac
TP-Link Tapo Wi-Fi cameras (RTSP/ONVIF) · Cameras
Tapo Wi-Fi cameras (C100/C200/C210/C310/C320WS, pan-tilt, doorbells…) stream over RTSP and ONVIF. In the Tapo app, select the camera's feed ▸ Settings ▸ Advanced Settings ▸ Camera Account, then connect with rtsp:// (HD) or /stream2 (SD). Add them to an NVR like Frigate or Scrypted below over ONVIF for recording, AI detection, and HomeKit/Google/Alexa bridging. ONVIF discovery runs on port 2020. Cloud status (unofficial). Sign in below with your TP-Link ID to see every camera's online / offline state from anywhere and get offline alerts; FrontierStack uses the same undocumented cloud API as the Tapo Android app (TP-Link has no official one), so it can break when TP-Link changes its app. Only status is read: no video, snapshots or control. Pinned Tapo cameras stay green off-LAN while the cloud says they're online.
