Was looking for this Camera for a while. Use Topcashback for additional $5 saving.
TP-Link Tapo 2K Pan Tilt Security Camera, Baby Monitor, Dog Camera/Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio, 3MP, Night Vision, Cloud &SD Card Storage, Works with Alexa & Google Home,[International Version]
CamelCamelCamel.
Can also use 9V/12V USB to DC cables
Saves a wall plug and can power from USB hubs
Thanks, will set this up with Frigate to watch my back door :)
home assistant integration still crippled
Been using one with Frigate and it's fine so far.
sure
rtsp works without issue
but 2way audio is dead unless you downgrade firmware. same with SD card sync. ptz may still work via onvif. basically https://github.com/JurajNyiri/HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control dead unless you onboard without internet - which doesnt always work or downgrade firmware
TP-Link said they'd resolve this sometimes in nov but nothing yet
So with the current fw, the tapo-control shows sensors as unavailable or they do not work properly? I'm curious to know when we say it's dead by that integration, what's not working? I'm asking since I have a newer fw than public and want to know what the issue is/was.
@Man10United: the home assistant integration will fail to authenticate to the camera and nothing works via it.
but regular onvif and rtsp works
@FoxJump: Looks like it's alright on mine with 1.4.2 fw (internet blocked). So when they release it it should be alright.
i use my tapos 2way audio to verbally notify me if it sees someone
like: "someones in the driveway"
Haven't tried the twoway audio yet, just using it for garage entrance.
US plug?
