B.I. don't find camera stream

[TonyR]

Thank you for the reply. I actually have read all this when I bought the camera on Amazon. I gave up trying to figure it out and filed for a return. They gave me a gift card for the price I paid for it and told me I don't have to return it, so I actually got it for free and figured what the heck I'll keep messing with it and see what happens and that is when I posted the question to you guys, I figured what the heck might as well see if anyone could figure it out. Now I will take your advice and just call it what is seems to be is junk and forget about it. I will say this about cheap cameras, I bought this TAPO C100 indoor camera some time ago for under 20 bucks and it has a great picture and works great, that's why I took a chance on this camera but lesson learned here. Thank you to everyone that did try though.

FWIW, I have a couple of Tapo C-110's that I set up 3 years ago, both function as pet cams and stream RTSP directly to Blue Iris. Although on Wi-Fi they have been very reliable, most likely because of 2 dedicated WAP's (Wireless Access Points) that serve them and 2 Reolink Wi-Fi video doorbells. No other devices are on those WAP's and they are in non-critical roles.

Yeah I like that camera I am probably going to replace this junk one with another Tapo C-100

Lots of conflicting info regarding this camera on Ama2on. I understand the reason for tackling it initially, I would have done the same. Such challenges can be a learning experience....you don't know until you try. I personally wouldn't waste any more time on it.

Funny thing I played around with the Cinnado cam and got it to work in Ispy. It actually has a great picture. Only thing is after closing Ispy and restarting it the camera takes a bit to show up again. But at least it does stay on once it comes up unlike it did in B,I, It connected with on onvif url and not rtsp url.

What happens if you lose Internet? Not the Wi-Fi, just the Internet.

What is the URL that works?
