Hi to all! I installed node-red on my Windows 10 PC, and I'm trying to get some snapshots from my Tapo-C100 IP camera using the Onvif node. I know from iSpy and VLC media player that the working IP for this camera are the following ones: http://192.168.1.140:2020/onvif/device_service (for Onvif) …

Hi Bart, thank you for the support. yes I put a debug node at the snapshot node and the argument were, the name, the payload, then _payload. Payload gives "Null" and _Payload gives a number back.

Hello Bart! thank you very much the support you gave the last time with the issue I had to stream videos on node red using the Tapo C100 camera.
