TLR-Cloud · supported cameras

Which IP and security cameras work with TLR-Cloud?

Almost all of them. Supported means one thing: the camera can take a photo on a schedule and upload it to an FTP server. That is a standard feature of IP and CCTV cameras – it just sits in a different menu for every brand. Below you'll find the brands we have tested and where the FTP setting lives for the others.

Any other FTP camera

If your brand is not listed, look for FTP, Upload or Snapshot in the camera's network, storage or event settings. You need exactly five values from TLR-Cloud – they appear when you add an FTP camera to a project:

  • Server address
  • Port (21 for FTP)
  • Username
  • Password
  • Upload folder

Set a capture interval of 5 to 10 minutes and switch off the date and time overlay in the image. TLR-Cloud detects the filename pattern from the first upload and sorts every image by its capture time.

Frequently asked questions

Do Tapo, UniFi Protect or Wyze cameras work?
Only if your model can upload a photo to an FTP server on a schedule – that is all TLR-Cloud needs. These brands are not in the list above, and we have no setup guide for them. Look in the camera's settings or app for a scheduled FTP upload option. If there isn't one, the camera cannot send images to TLR-Cloud. Send us the exact model and we'll take a look.
Do battery-powered cameras work?
Only if they can upload a photo on a timer. A timelapse needs one image at a fixed interval, day after day. Check this before you buy: Reolink, for example, states in its FTP setup guide that its battery-powered cameras do not support interval upload over FTP. For a long-term timelapse, choose a camera with a permanent power supply (mains or PoE) and scheduled FTP upload.
