Hi...I would like to install a camera outside our home, but would like to separate it from our home Spectrum internet (router?) set up for security reasons. I had purchased a Tapo MagCam 2k+ from Amazon, don't know if I can use this now. How would I go about setting this up? (No NVR/DVR). Thanks!
 
You can absolutely use the Tapo MagCam offline by initially setting it up via a mobile hotspot, but keep in mind that as a battery-powered camera, it will only record motion events to a MicroSD card and won't support RTSP or ONVIF streams.
 
It requires an internet connection for initial setup and cloud-based features, but it can record locally to a microSD card and display live feeds locally without internet access
