      Change password

      Changing your password signs you out on your other devices.

      Camera type

      Kasa cameras use your Kasa app login for local video. It's stored only on this server and sent only to the camera. Find the IP in the Kasa app (Camera → Settings → Device Info) or your router's device list. Give each camera a reserved IP in your router so it doesn't change.

      Advanced

      "Test connection" picks this automatically. Compatibility mode helps when a camera refuses the standard method.

      For Tapo or any RTSP/ONVIF camera. Tapo example: rtsp://user:pass@IP:554/stream1, using the camera account you set in the Tapo app.
