the URL was corrected and video’s of the measurements are added.
I did take the thing apart, but for this hack it is not required. And the Jellylens costs about 5 bucks. I’m not sure how to replace the “5mm lens”
but love to be educated. The lens of the cam itself is fixed to a custom casing which is hard to remove. The distance of that lens to the chip is critical. you you have to find exactly the same cover with a wide angle lens. I suggest you then simply buy the newer versions (ATC3K & ATC5K)

I have one of these and I get almost 1 hour(52ish?) using a 2gb SD card, which is the largest supported card. I thought up a mod for this cam but haven’t had time – a mod for external buttons of some sort. The buttons on this cam are a pain in the ass and I can only imagine what it’ll be like when I have motorcycle gloves on.

Why not just replace that 5mm lens with a wider angle 5mm lens? Those things are cheaper and have less of a “I hacked it with a saw” look.

Someone should have opened his camera and discovered what was in it before he started hacking it apart.
