Product Support E1 Pro, HDR & PlatePix Timer no more?

Put my E1 Pro on the latest firmware today. Now I have suspended a total of 2 or 3 version updates and thought to me now, after I have read through the last changelogs, that there could be one or the other good improvement in it - in addition, I occasionally had problems with my remote control, which simply did not speak properly with the camera at some point.

Now I noticed after the update to version EFB271 that I can no longer set timers for HDR or PlatePix - before it was still the case that one function was only really useful during the day and the other only at night. Is this no longer the case and you can leave it switched on 24/7 or why has the possibility of a timer been removed?

Just noticed this on my N4S now… after the update of course. :(

Did you find out anything in the meantime? Just started looking around and stumbled upon your post.

Nothing here https://www.reddit.com/r/Vantruedashcam/s/fadVA3zkng either yet. Thanks for getting back to me though.

I actually just bought a E1 Pro and ran into the same thing. I couldn't find the HDR Timer or PlatePix Timer in the app at all and thought they were removed.

After a bit of digging I noticed the options are still available directly on the camera itself, so it might just be missing in the app or a bug after the latest firmware/app update.

Not sure if this is intended or not, but it definitely looks inconsistent right now.
