Cheap dashboard camera disassembly and hacks.

I added this little dashboard camera to an order just to see what sort of quality it was, since it was only about £11.
In use the sound was very muffled and the image was good during the day, but very dark at night. The colour of the recorded footage suggested that it had an IR filter in the camera which would give better daylight image colour, but poor night sensitivity.
So I took it to bits and discovered that there is indeed an IR filter (removable) on the back of the lens. And when the case is removed the microphone records good quality sound too, owing to the fact that there isn't actually a hole in the case for it!
So here's a complete disassembly guide to save you from messing your camera up by trying to go in from the wrong side.
Here's the ebay listing where I bought the camera. www.ebay.co.uk/...
