How to connect to a NVR

Tested on: Tapo C210

1. Capabilities

This camera is capable of transmitting its stream on the RTSP protocol on two channels: one at resolution 640x360 and another one at resolution 1920x1080 (despite this model has a 2K lens, the 2K stream is accessible through the official app only). It supports the ONVIF standard.

It is also possible to access the video over HTTP, but it's undocumented, unofficial and needs to be improved.

2. Prerequisites

If you want to use the RTSP protocol (used also by the ONVIF), you need to create RTSP credentials. Using the official app we have to go to Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Camera account. We have to choose a username and a password

3.1. Simple RTSP stream:

High quality stream: rtsp://username:password@IP_Address:554/stream1

Low quality stream: rtsp://username:password@IP_Address:554/stream2

3.2. ONVIF

http://IP_Address:2020/onvif/device_service and specify username and password when prompted to.

3.3 HTTP

See this resource but I did not test it.
