    For a long time I was looking for where to put the topic ... in the end it will be here :)
    Well, the subject of the camera [supposedly] monitoring GoClever Omega Eye 2 came back to vocand and what I want to get from it is a regular IP camera. At the moment it is limited to the extent that the image can be viewed only through a dedicated application by goclever - that's what I want to get rid of the most. The easiest way would be to get an rtsp stream from it, because once we have it, we can still do everything.
    The Omega Eye 2 camera is based on the Hi3518 system with the letter E [as suggested by the manufacturer]. I read a lot about these Chinese cameras, what they have and what I can. Unfortunately, goclever does not even provide access via www (and this is because the web camera says a prompt and calls for a login and password that goclever does not want to provide). The farther into the forest the more trees ... I learned that it should normally have two ports open: 80 and 23. Unfortunately, it has only 80 open. I was interested, because people wrote that telnet can be unblocked through www , release channel after rtsp, create copies of recordings on ftp, enable SD card, release access after ssh and generally everything that is standard in expensive cameras. Shock. I keep reading. I came to the topic, what if the telnet port is blocked, namely it can be unlocked via the uart port from the serial monitor level. For me a fairy tale. Camera off, screwdriver in hand ... it went smoothly. But! The tile from my camera is different! What now. I am looking for Tx Rx and nothing. I am looking for a UART mark and nothing. I am looking for AB and nothing. I think I will look for a circuit diagram in the net. Dupa, it's gone. I will google graphics. And what? There is no. Even on the Chinese shopping and auction site there is ... I read, searched until I decided to write here.
    I attach to the post pictures of the tile ... or rather the tiles, because the main one is Hi3518 with a WiFi module and image converter, on the other is the LAN module (folded into a sandwich).
    If this port catches your eyes or something - let me know. Alternatively, if you have access to the schematic sets, check it out.
    I thought that maybe I could somehow get along the paths from the Hi system, but his datasheet spread me apart ... I got lost at the hundredth page ...
    For help in advance thanks :)

    You want it or not, you have to follow the paths. Maybe just in this review the boards did not lead UART, or it is somewhere on resistors or something like that (it has no pins).

    I thought so ... Okay, I think I managed a datasheet. And if not correct me:
    I found the pin designation (UART0 Rx and UART0 Tx), found it on the circuit [drawing] and ... what next? I have to look for the first better point they go out (e.g. resistor) and plug in there? Later to the Rx -Tx converter Tx - Rx | GND - GND, turn on the power and should it work?
    I throw a datasheet, as if someone could peek if I think correctly ...

    And tell me again, because looking at other boards I noticed similar sockets marked RS485 there ... (in the picture in green). I don't know much about this type of connectors (the only one I've dealt with is classic UART in old cells and arduino / esp). What is this port for? Does it work the same as UART? What usb converter do I need to use it ...

    Hey! And how did you deal with the problem? I just ordered such a camera and I'm already wondering how to take it apart, do you have any tricks on how to get inside? How difficult is it to undress from the outer casing?

    Undressing is a cliché. You peel off the black sticker from the front of the camera (where the lens) and under it you have 4 screws. And all this comes out the whole front panel with the motherboard. I didn't find the port of uart. Maybe you'll be lucky.
    I ordered two others from China, once cheaper two with a motherboard where the uart port is located.

    Ok, which is really banal, it's a pity that this system is defending itself against us :( I thought I would find a clever password somewhere but silence everywhere. Have you at least run the SD card?

    No. You will not enable it without telnet / SSH access. Even if you put the card in the port, it will do nothing.

    I just saw it, a webcam came to me, I see the same electronics as at a friend's in the first post, sandwich folded nicely, card port is to SD, card inserted, even the system sees the card, you can format it and that would be enough. Heh, maybe something can be messed up in this device.
    After a small test, I see that if you want a webcam, you'll send info that someone was hanging around, but you often forget about it: /

    And for me, just the opposite, even if the level of motion detection set to the smallest is notifications like stupid notifications. One night, notifications every now and then, as it turned out, the spider made a spider's web in front of the lens and waved in the wind ...

    Well, I will say that I wrote to GoClever, that they blocked this port on the card and what is it for? On the second day I got the info that the update could be downloaded from the server. The card inside is sitting SD in the camera. And for several days it's been beautifully recorded on the card. You can go through the calendar and view the recording. So it's not bad. Now, I think I will find a port for the microphone and speaker and put them in the housing, then support the manufacturer and we will see. And by the way check the camera firmware version, now I have 1.8.3.20170920

    I finally put the card in and what? and lime. Can not see.
    What card did you insert? What file system?

    Kingston 8GB microSD card inserted - formatted fat32.
    In the software itself there was information about whether to format the card - for peace of mind I fucked it once from under the camera.
    Firmware version: 1.8.4.20171024
    IPhone 1.2.0 software version
    Win10 version: 1.2.0
    I recommend connecting via a smartphone :) More options and the ability to update the firmware from the application.

    Hello.
    And were you able to login to the camera via www? Something like this would be useful to set it up in a network with external access.

    Added after 1 [minutes]:

    aaa and how did colleagues change the camera firmware?

    Hi,

    I bought the same camera.

    - is on the line: cpe: / o: linux: linux_kernel: 2.6 cpe: / o: linux: linux_kernel: 3
    - only port 80 and 8554 are open (i.e. there is a chance for www and rtsp) but there is no information about endpoints and user and password
    - somewhere on the internet I found that you can supposedly go to www providing user: admin, password:
    - but it doesn't work
    - bruteforce - did not find the password
    - I made a mistake and I didn't suspect where the update firmware was coming from, do you know where? because you could look inside and find out a little bit

    but ... maybe some of you have already worked it out:

    - how to get to the www, what user and password?
    - did anyone manage to get to rtsp?
    - maybe he has 80 onvif?
    - could someone share a firmware address? share now?

    I am trying with different cams, and I admit that this one is the most hopeless. only access via the goclever smarteye 1.2.0 mobile app

    Maybe someone has photos of how to disassemble it to pull this cable through the hole (so that they do not hang near the cam). Is the power supply of this camera soldered or maybe on the connector?

FAQ

TL;DR: Community testing found 2 open ports (80 and 8554). “Only port 80 and 8554 are open.” Web login/RTSP endpoints aren’t confirmed; SD recording works after firmware update via the app. [Elektroda, bonart1, post #16991728]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps owners turn a locked app-only Omega Eye 2 into a more usable home IP camera or decide if that’s feasible on their unit.

Quick-Facts:

Quick Facts

How do I disassemble the Goclever Omega Eye 2 without breaking it?

Peel off the black front sticker to reveal four screws. Remove them to slide out the whole front panel with the motherboard. “Undressing is a cliché.” Use ESD care and keep ribbon cables aligned when reassembling. [Elektroda, Sickboy, post #16706030]

Can I log in via a web browser (HTTP) with a known username and password?

A browser prompt appears, but shared credentials were not provided. One user tried bruteforce and failed. Treat the unit as app‑locked unless you discover valid creds through vendor support or a firmware change. [Elektroda, bonart1, post #16991728]

Does the camera provide an RTSP stream I can use in VLC/NVR?

Port 8554 is open, which often hosts RTSP. However, no working RTSP URL or credentials were confirmed in the thread. Plan for app‑only streaming unless your firmware exposes endpoints. [Elektroda, bonart1, post #16991728]

Is ONVIF supported on this model?

No ONVIF confirmation appears in the thread. A user asked about ONVIF on port 80, but no success or service discovery details were shared. Treat ONVIF as not available by default. [Elektroda, bonart1, post #16991728]

How do I enable SD card recording?

Update the firmware via the smartphone app, then insert and format the microSD inside the app. A user reported, “the update could be downloaded… and for several days it’s been beautifully recorded on the card.” [Elektroda, adm_sul, post #16724903]

What SD card and file system worked for others?

A Kingston 8 GB microSD formatted as FAT32 worked. The app also offers in‑camera formatting, which the user used for reliability. iOS app 1.2.0 and Windows 1.2.0 were noted. [Elektroda, adm_sul, post #16792286]

My SD card isn’t detected—what’s the failure mode?

One report said the card did nothing until deeper access was possible, noting lack of telnet/SSH control. If the app doesn’t mount the card post‑update, reseat or reformat it. [Elektroda, Sickboy, post #16706834]

How reliable are motion notifications on this camera?

Results vary. One user received constant alerts at the lowest sensitivity due to a spider web moving in front of the lens. Adjust placement and sensitivity to reduce false alarms. [Elektroda, Sickboy, post #16721440]

Can I improve motion alerts if the camera sometimes misses events?

Another user observed missed alerts. Use wired power, stable Wi‑Fi, and keep firmware current to reduce dropouts. Consider alternative notification paths if reliability is critical. [Elektroda, adm_sul, post #16710172]

Where is UART on the board, and can it unlock telnet/SSH?

Some boards don’t expose UART headers. One user located UART0 Rx/Tx in the SoC pinout and suggested tracing to nearby passives to tap. Success wasn’t confirmed on this revision. [Elektroda, Sickboy, post #16686419]

I see a connector labeled RS485—does it work like UART?

A user highlighted RS485‑marked pads in green while asking about purpose and compatible adapters. No confirmation of function or pinout was shared in the thread. Verify before connecting hardware. [Elektroda, Sickboy, post #16686419]

What firmware/app versions were reported and how do I update?

Firmware 1.8.4.20171024 was reported, with advice to update via the smartphone app. The app listed iPhone 1.2.0 and Windows 1.2.0 versions. Use the phone app for more options. [Elektroda, adm_sul, post #16792286]

Are there any open network services besides port 80?

A scan showed Linux fingerprinting and two open ports: 80 and 8554. Treat that as the baseline until your unit shows otherwise. This is helpful for firewall rules. [Elektroda, bonart1, post #16991728]

Should I try bruteforcing the web password?

A user tried bruteforce and did not find credentials. It risks lockouts and offers little gain without confirmed endpoints. Seek vendor support or firmware updates instead. [Elektroda, bonart1, post #16991728]

How can I route the cable through the casing and is power on a connector?

Opening the front (four screws under the black sticker) exposes the mainboard for cable management. The thread didn’t confirm the power connection type; inspect once open. [Elektroda, Sickboy, post #16706030]

Quick 3‑step: How to open and inspect the board safely?

  1. Remove the front black sticker; unscrew four screws.
  2. Slide out the front panel and motherboard gently.
  3. Photograph connectors before changes; reassemble in reverse order. [Elektroda, Sickboy, post #16706030]
