Hi, Nick.
Our Brown AR Drone driver is under active development, and it has been able
to connect to the downward-facing camera for several months now. The
current version in the brown-ros-pkg svn repository contains an
/ardrone/togglecam service which, when called, swaps between the forward-
and downward-facing cameras. It is not possible to access both video
streams at once using a drone running Parrot's firmware.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Chris
