My Eken H9R shows “No card.” What does it mean and how do I fix it?
The camera needs a microSD inserted to start recording. The alert appears with no card or an incompatible card. Insert a supported card and try again. [Elektroda, Molineux, post #17610906]
Do Eken H9/H9R cameras come with a memory card in the box?
No. Buyers report the camera ships without a card. You must purchase a compatible microSD separately to use video features. [Elektroda, Molineux, post #17612407]
What speed class should I choose for 1080p60 recording?
Pick cards with strong sustained write speed. A “Class 10” label alone can be insufficient for stable recording. Favor U1/U3 models. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17810497]
How do I set up a new microSD card in the H9/H9R?
- Insert the microSD into the camera while powered off.

Can the Eken H9/H9R record 720p at 120 fps?
Yes. A user confirms capturing 120 fps at 720p. This mode benefits from faster cards to reduce dropped frames. [Elektroda, spinex, post #17859793]

A user notes the 4K mode is scaled, not native. Treat it as interpolated 4K for expectations and storage planning. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17851220]
Are there firmware mods that change frame rates or add modes?
Users mentioned community firmware offering 720p120 and 4K25 options. Evaluate risks before flashing any unofficial firmware. [Elektroda, spinex, post #17844894]
What brands did users discuss for H9/H9R cards?
Users referenced Kingston React V30 and Goodram M3AA as options under consideration. Match capacity and speed to your needs. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17845013]
Why does card choice matter beyond the Class label?
Sustained write speed dictates whether video saves without stutter. As one user said, “real write speeds matter.” [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17810497]
Any tips if a 64 GB card is not recognized?
Try formatting in-camera, then test short clips. If issues persist, use a 32 GB card, the officially supported size. [Elektroda, nomudrek, post #16882072]
