[FIRMWARE UPDATE]DR900S(v1.006) Rear cam OFF option for Parking Mode

New firmware (version 1.006) is available for the DR900S Series, with a new option to turn off the rear camera while in Parking Mode. This update concerns mainly the DR900S-2CH, although a DR900S-1CH update is also available with stability improvements. 

DR900S Series Firmware version 1.006

MODELS CONCERNED:

• DR900S-1CH, DR900S-2CH

WHAT’S NEW:
1. New Parking Mode Rear Camera Off feature (DR900S-2CH only) for extended recording time with the front camera in
​    Parking Mode:
    Firmware settings > Basic settings > Rear camera recording in parking mode:

1. ON :  Front and rear cameras record together.
2. OFF : Rear camera stops recording 5 minutes after entering parking mode.

                    Recording restarts when entering normal mode.

                     Benefits:
                     - Longer recording time on the microSD card in Parking Mode. 
                      (Increased the recording time by up to 25% with the same memory card. For example with 32GB memory card,
                      you can record the content of 1hour 50 minutes in Extreme Mode before starts to overwrite but by switching off
                      the rear cam, you can record up to 2hours 30 minutes instead.)

                     – Lower power consumption in Parking Mode.
                     (Increased the parking mode time before your Power Solutions Cellink battery depletes. For example if you are  
                     using Cellink Neo, it could last up to 16 hours with both front and rear cameras in parking mode, but with rear  
                     camera switch off, you could enjoy 30% increase of parking mode time with up to 24 hours instead!
