UltraDash Z3+ Standard Firmware Update

Firmware release        Date:  MAY 11 2023

Description: 

Improvement

．Fixed the issue with file protection logic, when pressing the file protection button at any time would protect the previous, current, and next files.
．Fixed the issue with display invert the rear camera up and down would cause the right camera to incorrectly flip.
．Fixed and optimized the problem of sudden slow card speed and possible recording stop or sudden shutdown on high capacity cards. As larger cards are more prone to occur speed drops, and with current video reaching up to multiple 2K or 4K recording, the resource usage is much more than the previous 1080P model. Therefore, we recommend using high-endurance memory cards such as SanDisk Max Endurance, and Samsung Pro Endurance memory cards for 128GB and 256GB cards. Using low-speed memory cards may cause recording stop.
．We have decided to remove the option Video Length three or five minutes from the menu. The large file size of three or five-minute videos can potentially consume excessive resources and sudden current, potentially causing abnormal operation, so we decided to remove this options. The Video length will default to one minute per file. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. We will continue to optimize the system, and if there comes a time when we can reintroduce this feature, we will make an announcement.

After updating to this version, we recommend that you format the memory card before starting to record again. Please back up any important files before formatting.
