Most of them are anyway; even Tapo was (in name only) spun off from TP-Link and couldn't be set up without bluetooth enabled. I almost entered Reo's garden while researching Ubiquiti and Unifi.




I resolved the problem by temporarily installing a "Fake GPS location" app on my phone and permanently blocking the camera mac address on my router. I can still access the camera remotely using Tailscale. I have a Tailscale node running on a Raspberry Pi on my internal network. It works well.

I keep them in a separate vlan with outbound internet enabled but firewalled from my main network and am still building a ruleset for blocking all *.cn and china-based ipv4 addr blocks. One interesting tidbit during the aws-east-1 downtime was that tapo remote viewing was inaccessible while wyze was okay.
