Partly because of your help, I now have a pretty decent HA set-up with lights and motion sensors. I was wondering if I could again pick your brain/ experience with the next step I need to take: add a camera.

A few days ago I bought a TAPO camera, and to my disappointment it was practically impossible to get it working without an app + account. Luckily I could return it.

I now want to avoid making the same mistake 😬 And I would love to hear how you approached this.

    I had to use the Reolink app and it generates a QR code that programmed my camera. But after setup I can use HA to control the camera, move it, zoom, etc.

      That’s good to know, I have the cameras but I haven’t installed them yet, I’m trying to figure out how to install it on the vinyl slidings
