Download the app

First, you have to install the TP-Link Tapo app on your smartphone or tablet. You can find this app in the App Store or Google Play Store. After you've installed the app, create a TP-Link ID. You need to enter an email address for this. You'll then receive an activation link via email. After that, you can log in via the app to connect your camera.

Step 3: turn on the camera

Plug the adapter of the camera into a socket in the room where you want to mount it. Make sure there's a stable WiFi signal in this room, so the camera has a good connection with the network.
