Setting up a Tapo C310 camera To record 24/7 to a local HDD

SydSnott

Forgive me if the terminology is quaint, as I'm new to this Tech.
The camera is, apparently ONVF and RTSP capable, and rather that writing over and over to the internal SD Card, I thought it might be possible for me to set it to record to a disk in the house.
In my fantasy world, I envisioned a powered disk plugged in to my router, which would receive the stream and serve it as and when required to either one of my network connected devices PC/Laptop/WiFi TV etc as well as being able to receive alerts and view content over 'tinterweb on my phone when away from the house.   
Am I over estimating my capabilities?
Can anyone advise me?

What is the problem you want to solve by recording it to a separate disk rather than using the SD card?

Backup?
Stopping a burglar from just stealing the camera's SD card?

The camera is just broadcasting the video stream over your network - to record that you will need "something" to receive that broadcast & then write it to the disk (similar to needing a video recorder to receive a TV broadcast & write it to tape/disk)

That could be something like a PC left running 24/7 or a dedicated server
