I thought I would start a Vantrue S1 Pro Front Camera / RC04 Rear Camera firmware update thread.
On 26-Oct-2023, Vantrue released firmware updates for several other Vantrue dash cameras. I thought I would check for updates for the S1 Pro and RC04 rear camera. The RC04 rear camera does have an update page on the Vantrue website, but the S1 Pro does not have a firmware update page (yet).
In my testing of the Vantrue Android app (v1.0.32), it does not detect firmware updates for this dash camera (front or rear). I would advise you to use the iOS version of the Vantrue app (v1.0.18 or later) until the Android version of the app has been updated. There are other odd behaviors within the Android version of the Vantrue app that make it an unstable choice to use with any Vantrue dash camera (for now).
As of 26-Oct-2023, the latest firmware versions for the S1 Pro and RC04 rear camera are:
S1 Pro Front: ECI261
RC04 Rear: ECI251
A couple things I noticed after the firmware updates:

A couple things I noticed after the firmware updates:
- Vantrue app 1.0.32 (Android) or 1.0.18 (iOS)
- New Settings in Setting Menu on the camera
- System Setup > Time & Date > ST/WT Auto Switch
- Off
- United States
- System Setup > Time & Date > Time Format
- 24-Hour Time
- 12-Hour Time
- System Setup > Time & Date > ST/WT Auto Switch
- These new settings cannot be set by either Vantrue app.
- The iOS app does not show the new settings
- The Android app does have entries for the new settings, but they don't work
- New Settings in Setting Menu on the camera
- Auto LCD Off
- In general, the LCD screen seems to be getting turned off per this setting.
- The LCD screen still remains on for 3-minutes when entering parking mode.
- This was fixed on the N5 dash camera that I tested, but the S1 Pro still ignores the "Auto LCD Off" setting when entering parking mode.
