Hacking the HDMI Encoder from Brovotech


/ March 20, 2026

I have always wanted to know how this little HDMI Encoder works and while I have not yet found out the root username and password is, here are a few things I have found out just from pocking around in the HTML code

While you go into your HDMI Encoder by going to 192.168.1.157 (That’s for me, but yours maybe a little different) and if you head on over to “Settings” > “System Info”, the page gives some information such as the following:

  • Firmware version
  • Hardware version
  • Mac address
  • Serial number

But what if you can get even more information about your HDMI Encoder? Well you can, just enter http://192.168.1.157/action/get?subject=devinfo and then press enter, and this will display is more information about your HDMI Encoder.

  • Name
  • Softver
  • Hardver
  • eqno
  • Mac
  • Uuid
  • model
  • manufacture
  • qrcode (The QR code seems to always read “8888888888888888”)

As I was looking thought the source code I saw that this HDMI Encoder still supports flv besides rtsp, ts, and hls, so here are the four video feeds: (Note: The newer firmware only supports two video feeds 0 and 1, however older firmware supported 0, 1 and 2. Older firmware did not support HTML5, newer firmware does)

  • flv: http://192.168.1.157/flv/0 (Main) and http://192.168.1.157/flv/0 (Sub)
  • rtsp: rtsp://192.168.1.157:554/live/0 (Main) and rtsp://192.168.1.157:554/live/1 (sub)
  • ts: http://192.168.1.157/ts/0 (Main) and http://192.168.1.157/ts/1 (Sub)
  • hls: http://192.168.1.157/hls/0.m3u8 (Main) and http://192.168.1.157/hls/1.m3u8 (Sub)
