@Brook 

This is indeed very frustrating for a security camera.  We should have the option to view the camera for as long as we want.

@DukePaul it's infuriating, I use it as a baby monitor too, all connected to the same WiFi, my phone does not suffer this problem, but my tablets do, every 5 minutes.

There should be an option to disable that 'datasaving feature' or however it's justified. 

@Tp-link don't blame the devices or WiFi they are all working fine and up to date. just add the option in the software.

@Brook this seems to be a specific issue for ipads. I do not have this issue on the phone and all devices are on the the same network. Its very frustrating as we too use the camera&ipad as a baby monitor. This should be fixed ASAP. 

@Burrmorg Hello, 

To view the live stream of the Tapo camera continuously, all the mobile devices on the live view need to be in the local network (mobile devices need connect to house Wi-Fi) 

If user is watching live view remotely, ' Continue the viewing'  message will prompt after 2mins or 5mins to avoid draining the data.

If your device is under local Wi-Fi but still prompts Tap to continue to message, kindly try some  suggestions here in this FAQ: 

Why can't I view the live stream of the Tapo camera continuously?

For IOS 14 devices (iPad or iPhone):  allow Local Network permission for Tapo app so Tapo app could recognize it as a local device
