Is it just me or the camera tend to heat up pretty intensely?

I afraid it may overheat...

I don't have thermometer for it but certainly feel more than warm to my hand, LOL...

Is this related to firmware version by any chances?

P/s, just noticed that it actually heated up by itself even on idle.

Any similar experience?

I just got the camera today, fresh ordered and shipped from China.

For firmware, just updated it through the camera app, later try if it solve the heat problem.

For my case, it actually stopped my camera's factory reset function.

Mind share your tips to remove the preapplied glue?

Looks solid and deep, I not sure how to detach them.

May be try to flash old firmware?

After much attempt, lastly manage to remove the hot glue. I realize the best tool for it is the smallest sized flathead screwdriver.

Though, I found out that my unit's focus is actually not too far off, LOL.

Also, can someone with experience suggest me what should be the focal distance if I want to use it as dashcam? Thanks.

P/s: I realise the overheat problem had caused my stock battery to be inflated a little already (it's less than 1 month old and not even in operation over 2 hours, indoor).... Not sure if it is safe to put it as dashcam and exposed to intense heat from sun for long terms.

Really? Hadn't tried it that way yet cause most modern gadgets like phones require battery to complete the circuit and working, definitely a nice surprise to me if its true.

Any idea on focal distance suggestion if I am to tune them indoor?
