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?

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]

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]
