# Tapo camera
IP Cameras are a nightmare for our privacy. For this reason I am reverse engineering a Tp-Link Tapo C210's firmware and its relative app in order to prevent them from sending any data to untrusted servers.
There are better resources than mine: see https://github.com/nervous-inhuman/tplink-tapo-c200-re and https://drmnsamoliu.github.io/. I will focus on the reverse engineering of the app in order to be able to use the camera without a Tp-Link account.

4. You have the possibility to update the camera's firmware through its app. This expands the attack surface for a hacker or from the company itself to push a malicious update.
## What we can do
As of today, we have libre NVR solutions we can use in place of the proprietary app, but you still need it the first time you boot the camera up and NVRs will not stop the camera from sending the video to their servers without using a firewall.
As of today, we have:
* libre NVR solutions we can use in place of the proprietary app;
* You can use a collection of open source software to control these cameras, see [my collection](https://github.com/stars/xfarrow/lists/tapo-cameras)
nonethless, you still need it the first time you boot the camera up and NVRs will not stop the camera from sending the video to their servers without using a firewall.
