they're both the same f/stop spec, neither one would be more or less suitable for a tinted window
Is it possible to adjust the camera focus in the 803 if you disassemble? Or is it fixed?
Thanks!!!!!
Yes, its possible.
Check my last picture, - you see there I have disassembled unit connected to TV via HDMI cable. What do you think, why I did this ?
Step by step how to disassemble Mini 0803. Same applies to Mini 0801.
Great disassembly pics.
Two questions.
1. Is there a protective film to remove from the lens? It looks like a solid plastic piece on mine.
2. Has anyone put an alignment mark on the adjustable section once mounted correctly, so as to realign it easily if knocked ? If so, what was used to mark it?
I used a white paint marker to put a line on the optimum fixing position:

While I was at it I used a fibre stick to remove the white lettering:

Fibre stick for removing a print is a good idea !
Tere is a plastic transparent protective film for transportation, but it is not fully circle, should have small "arm" on edge. If there is no such "arm" on which you can grab it to pull away, - then there is no film. This has been in most dashcams I had. Dont know what is latest stock.
You mean putting mark on lens housing for focus adjustment, right ?

Pictures here are from very first release. I also have last month release model as well. When have time, will look inside to confirm differences.one of our customer prized the housing without following your instruction, some components drop off from PCB after the rough work, then he found the remark on the main IC is "A7L-D-B1-RH A1401" but your image showing "A1348" so he thought he got fake Ambarella A7LA50D chipset. He sent the whole batch cameras back and asked us to indemnify for for the shipping, his time and so on.
here I would like to introduce the meaning of the numbers, A1348 means the IC was produced on the 48th week of 2013, A1401 means the IC was produced on the 1st week of 2014. this remark change happens on most IC, and the series remark maybe different also because the ICs maybe made in different production line, even in different sub-factory.
please differentiate the IC models by the BOTTOM remark, it is "A7LA50D" here. (of course, there maybe some re-mark ICs, but 100% they can't run the firmwares we released! )
Niko, am I right?
