Here you will add a user to be used to share with Elumicate for remote access (Username and password are case sensitive). Take note of the username and password as it will be required later on.

Optional - While Elumicate will not be recording audio on IP cameras, you may still wish to disable audio support through RTSP streaming. Click the volume icon on the camera view screen and turn off the volume.

Step 3

In the Tapo App, choose your camera, then go into camera settings (⚙ icon) - and tap on your camera Model on top of the screen.

Take note of the IP address which will be used to forward the RTSP port in your firewall. You may also want to take note of your mac address as it may be required if you choose to create a DHCP reservation in your router to make sure your IP Address never changes.

Step 4

Setup port 554 on your router/firewall to redirect to your camera's IP address - Router Port forwarding

Step 5

Find your router's external IP address (https://www.whatismyip.com)
