You may own an Eken H9 series action camera. You may, like myself, have gotten a few different lenses for it to modify it for your own, non-fisheye, use.
But how will you connect to it either through a wire or wireless?
All you need is an application (VLC will do) that can read in an RTSP stream (read more on those over at Wikipedia) and punt it to wherever you’d like.
Be aware that you won’t be streaming out at full resolution (yet? maybe impossible?). While it does work the Eken can only output “standard def” 480p with the following network connection address.
I’m still looking into changing the URL around for different streams. Unfortunately the Eken flat out crashes if you connect to an invalid URL. That’s not exactly the best handling on error conditions there folks!
NMAP reports the following on ports 1 through 1000 (TCP) when it’s not active:
And for UDP:
And the connection address is:
rtsp://192.168.1.1/MJPG?W=720&H=400&Q=50&BR=5000000/
- Q – might be a quality setting? While I didn’t notice a difference this would probably require objective testing
- W – is width (this doesn’t appear to change the cameras output; just the size displayed rendering it extremely dithered)
- H – is height (this doesn’t appear to change the cameras output; just the size displayed rendering it extremely dithered)
- BR – No idea as of yet
It also runs an FTP server on the address sharing out all the contents of your Eken to anything that connects up to it. Poor error handling and poor security come prepackaged on this unit.
But the Eken is at the lowest price point you’re likely to find. And the quality is in the cheap and cheerful camp rather than total crap. At the 40~50 USD price point I like it!
Other notes on the Eken H9 series:
- With the exception of the Plus they’re all interpolating up to 4K; the native hardware only handles up to 1080P 60fps well in my experience
- Eken’s H9 is running a wifi network at 54mbps (20mhz, no HT). That’d suggest 802.11g standards.
- The camera has a built in DHCP service in addition to RTSP and FTP servers
- Plug it in via USB without a memory card and it will act as a low-def video streaming device
- Plugging in the Eken’s USB cable seems to power it while streaming
- I found that my Eken seemed to have a heating issue; It may get a modification to dissipate the heat more effectively
- The WiFi RTSP with the above connection URL exports Motion JPEG (MJPG)
- The user is “331” and the password is “wificam” for the ftp service
A note on VLC:
- Tune down the network caching option under the network connection to reduce latency

Eken Video Camera Usb Device Drivers For Mac Windows 7
macam is a driver for USB webcams on Mac OS X. It allows hundreds of USB webcams to be used by many Mac OS X video-aware applications. The aim is to support as many webcams as possible.
In addition, macam also supports downloading of images from some dual-mode cameras. macam especially tries to support those cameras not supported by Apple or by their manufacturers.
macam consist of an application and a component. Run the macam application to verify whether your camera works with your Mac and your USB setup. The component is the actual driver that allows other applications to access the video-stream. (note: iChat does not recognize most USB webcams unless you install iChatUSBCam - this is shareware unrelated to macam)
