@tyleracopeland were you able to 'pause' the bootloader when it shows that message 'Hit Enter key to stop autoboot: X' ? if so, send me an email (posted on my github profile) and I can try to give you some pointers on messing with the bootloader.
If you're unable to pause/enter into the bootloader the only way to make any progress would be to dump the firmware with a hardware programmer (which may require removing the chip from the board) -- even then there's no guarantee of making any useful modifications.
@guino I was able to pause the bootloader, but U-Boot is asking for a password. I tried the obvious ones (empty, root, admin, etc.) without success.

Thank you, sir. Just sent an email to your hotmail adress.
I have an older model/version of the Merkury/Geeni 720 IP camera (CW015). The Geeni app reports that it is running firmware version 1.3.0. I have tried the steps in the guide at https://github.com/guino/Merkury720 without success. Reference photos included below.
Using nmap, I found the following open ports:
I was able to telnet in but am unable to gain root access (username Default, empty password).
I was also able to access the UART using the 3 holes at the top right of the second picture below. Here is the output I get without an SD card inserted at boot (truncated):
And here is the output I get with the SD card inserted at boot (truncated):
And the contents of /proc/cmdline:
console=ttySGK0,115200 noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock3 rootfstype=squashfs mtdparts=gk_flash:256K(boot),64K(env),2560K(kernel),4096K(rootfs),5312K(config),-(userfs) mem=45M phytype=0
Let me know if more information or UART output would be helpful. Any assistance or advice would be much appreciated.
