My rear facing Mobius cam (V1 pcb) has been installed for well over three years now and also continues to perform well. Occasionally, I get lazy and don't even bother to check the memory card for months but when I do the footage is all as it should be. (I always do keep a sharp eye on the blinking rear pilot light LED in my rear view mirror, so I know if the camera is functioning normally.) The only problem I ever experience with the rear Mobius is in extreme sub freezing weather when the temperature is around -10 ºC (-14ºF) or below. The camera needs to be plugged in for about minute until the DSP warms up enough to work properly and then rebooted. The V2 and V2 pcb versions of the Mobius don't seem to have this issue.
I never quite realized that Dehli would experience temps down to 2ºC. (assuming you were in Dehli when you had the 2ºC temps.) Here in northern New England USA where I live we occasionally see -30ºC but thankfully not that often. Some of that has to do with living on a mountain. Down in the valley things will be maybe 12ºC warmer. Sometimes I'll be driving home in the rain and by the time I make it half way up the mountain it is snowing. In the summer at about the same elevation you can feel the cooler air coming in a car's window. On the other end we occasionally will see about 37ºC (about 100º F) but also thankfully not that often. Unfortunately, it's impossible not to notice over the decades that we are seeing those extremes more often.
Has anyone noticed the D lens is somehow offset from the sensor? I have mine mounted in my back window perfectly level, but the image looks like it's pointing upward
I bought an M1 with a D lens and it was not offset or angled.Has anyone noticed the D lens is somehow offset from the sensor? I have mine mounted in my back window perfectly level, but the image looks like it's pointing upward

I don't see how a circular lens within a fixed lens holder screwed to the sensor PCB can be offset. True, there's a little bit of play in the two screws, but I doubt it's enough to think the lens is aiming in a different direction. Seems more likely as @Dashmellow suggested that the module is not seated exactly 90deg to the case, if indeed your case is perfectly level.Not angled but shifted in one direction. Imagine the image circle formed by the lens-- If the sensor is right in the middle, the horizon is centered on the video. But imagine the sensor is slightly offset... Then the horizon falls in the lower part of the video
