${res.Status}

Error message

${res.Status}

What it means

Tapo newConn HTTP status guard: the multipart stream request to the camera returned a status other than 200 (res.Status becomes the message, e.g. '401 Unauthorized'). The stream channel could not be opened; auth failures and camera-side errors are the usual causes.

Solutions

1. For 401: verify the Tapo account password / cloud credentials in the URL
2. For 404: check the stream path and channel query parameter
3. Retry after the camera reboots if it returns 5xx
