Getting tapo cameras working for two-way audio, help please

[borgqueenx]

I bought tapo cameras specifically to mess around with later for two-way audio, but i am not so sure all their camera's support two-way audio now. I have found on their online forum that (at least some) camera's only support onvif profile s, instead of profile T, that is needed for two-way audio. I have go2rtc by default in frigate, and have set it up to just use the rtsp streams from the camera account you can make in the tapo app, and use for onvif as well. i can use the preset positions and move the camera with frigate. i just cant seem to get two-way audio working. It is the tapo C225 camera that i bought.

However if it is not working or supported through rtsp/onvif, is it perhaps working when using the tapo protocol, and how do i set that up? I have seen it around that people use tapo://xxxxxxxx instead of rtsp://xxxxxxxxx

with a tab with the microphone open, i have the following info:

Edit: This can be closed. I had to use the tapo protocol in the main frigate config settings (the part about go2rtc) Here is a example for people who faced the same issue:

living-room:
- rtsp://tapocameraaccount:tapocamerapassword@192.168.1.185/stream1
- tapo://Tapoapploginaccountpassword@192.168.1.185
- ffmpeg:living-room#audio=aac

The above aac is needed for frigate to record audio.

Try to use only tapo:// source to check if your settings good. Maybe you has problem with cloud password. Or go2rtc version / camera firmware. Also you need to open tapo stream from mobile app once.

Please let me know if the problem is relevant
