Setting up Tapo camera with amazon show
-
I recently bought some outdoor TP-link tapo cameras and some echo show 5’s 3rd gen too. I can access the cameras using the tapo skill but the streams time out after 10 minutes. The tapo cameras support rstp and ive successfully connected to them using vlc and port forwarded 554 externally through my router. When i ask alexa to show the cameras she says that they are unavaliable, the activity monitor on monicle however shows that there was a request send by the echoes. I could be missing something simple however.
please let me know info/logs you need to see

@calumartin So after a month of troubleshooting and being a bit of a numpty I’ve narrowed my issue down to Vodafone blocking dns rebinding on their routers with no way of turning it off whatsoever.
I recently moved to their Pro2 fibre 900 plan with all the bells and whistles including a VoIP landline, which if I wanted to, I could trade for using my own router but unfortunately, I still use my landline daily.
With what I’ve seen on the patchiness of the show 5 gen3’s working at all I’m gonna wait to see if they get supported better before I get a seperate line run for my landline.
Its a shame because I went for the pro package as I thought there might be more functionality.
