Controlling Mini Tuya Smart Home Pan & Tilt Surveillance Camera via MQTT: OpenBeken & RTSP Stream

I got hold of this Bulb Camera hoping that I will be able to control it via MQTT somehow.

I haven't connected it to Tuya app yet.

Possibly tuyacutter will work to get OpenBeken on to it.

Port scanner reported following:

Service Details
Port 25 (TCP)
Port 110 (TCP)
Port 119 (TCP)
Port 143 (TCP)
Port 465 (TCP)
Port 563 (TCP)
Port 587 (TCP)
Port 993 (TCP)
Port 995 (TCP)
Port 6668 (TCP)

Bits and pieces picked from here and there suggests that the RTSP stream can be accessed directly without the app in typical Tuya IP Cameras.

Sine it is a nice little camera which comes with 355 degree pan and 110 degree tilt, I though that it would be great if we can externally send commands via MQTT and then move the camera.



Has anybody given a such thought before me?

I think it may be possible to capture this video even without flashing the MCU inside, but still, I am curious how the board from inside looks.

I've been doing a camera teardown once:
