TP-Link Tapo ​

new in v1.2.0

TP-Link Tapo proprietary camera protocol with two-way audio support.

  • stream quality is the same as RTSP protocol
  • use the cloud password, this is not the RTSP password! you do not need to add a login!
  • you can also use UPPERCASE MD5 hash from your cloud password with admin username
  • some new camera firmwares require SHA256 instead of MD5

Configuration ​

yaml
streams:
  # cloud password without username
  camera1: tapo://cloud-password@192.168.1.123
  # admin username and UPPERCASE MD5 cloud-password hash
  camera2: tapo://admin:UPPERCASE-MD5@192.168.1.123
  # admin username and UPPERCASE SHA256 cloud-password hash
  camera3: tapo://admin:UPPERCASE-SHA256@192.168.1.123
  # VGA stream (the so called substream, the lower resolution one)
  camera4: tapo://cloud-password@192.168.1.123?subtype=1 
  # HD stream (default)
  camera5: tapo://cloud-password@192.168.1.123?subtype=0
