A Home Assistant custom component (HACS-installable) that integrates TP-Link Tapo cameras, doorbells, and chimes, providing control, PTZ, motion events, and video streaming. It also exposes streams for devices lacking RTSP or ONVIF support via a proprietary protocol.

Use cases

  • control Tapo cameras from Home Assistant
  • view Tapo camera live stream in Home Assistant
  • add Tapo doorbell press events to automations
  • pan/tilt PTZ control for Tapo cameras
  • integrate Tapo devices without RTSP or ONVIF
  • detect motion from Tapo cameras as binary sensors
  • download camera recordings into Home Assistant

When to choose

  • you own TP-Link Tapo cameras, doorbells, or chimes and use Home Assistant
  • your Tapo device lacks RTSP/ONVIF and you still want a video stream
  • you want motion, doorbell, and PTZ entities for automations
  • you install integrations via HACS

When to avoid

  • you don't use Home Assistant (this is a HA custom component, not a standalone tool)
  • your camera is not a Tapo/TP-Link device
  • you can't open the required firewall ports (443, 554, 2020, 8800, UDP 20005) on your network
  • you need a general-purpose RTSP viewer rather than a Home Assistant integration
