    Anyone still rocking a Pi Zero W smart drive for TeslaCam on Sentry Mode?

    I'm using SMB from my Asus router. cifs_version=3.0 and cifs_version=2.0 did not work for me. cifs_version=1.0 worked finally. I would suggest trying the same. EDIT: Just saw latest post, glad you got it working.

    Anyone still rocking a Pi Zero W smart drive for TeslaCam on Sentry Mode?

    Had issues with slow USB using the "buster" image on v10. No issues in over a week using the "stretch" image using the 615 image.

    Anyone still rocking a Pi Zero W smart drive for TeslaCam on Sentry Mode?

    I think the Pi3 application in that post was about using it as a separate server outside of the car to run plex server and act as an access point.

    Dashcam unable to write - USB drive is full

    Possible that the card is bad. Try plugging the card into a pc and verify that you can write and delete files from it.

    Happy to report that V10 supports Plex Streaming

    If the video/audio website works in the browser, then it will work from a youtube link.

    V10 Impressions from those who have installed the update

    What about flac vs spotify from your phone or pc? Similar results? Wondering if Spotify quality is consistent.

    I don't have apple music but it seems regardless of website you're on, any audio and video will stop when you put the car in Drive.

    Spotify and Hulu included in 2019.32.10

    Regarding spotify.... Is there a way to have your playlist be saved as a favorite, not seeing any option that would allow this. Favorites seem to be limited to just FM, Slacker and TuneIn.

    Not subscribed to it but I'm willing to bet it works. You can get to it easily from youtube using its normal links. Youtube Music also works.

    Dashcam Icon Missing

    You get the Sentry icon whether or not you have a usb plugged in. Sentry Mode does 2 things, 1) constant recording from cameras while parked and 2) triggers the speaker alarm with music when it detects force on the car. Without the USB, #2 is active (though Tesla says sentry video does get sent...

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    With rear camera being added to V10, will you be updating this to incorporate that?

    2019.32.x.x comments and experiences

    Sometimes when I view sentry footage,i see distortion in the clips. I think this distortion is interpreted as dancing cars in the UI.

    Anyone still rocking a Pi Zero W smart drive for TeslaCam on Sentry Mode?

    My pi zero has been running fine with just the data cable powering it. Would suggest those with lower issues try different cables.

    Range dropping abruptly at end of 50+ mile commute

    Is your car connected to wifi while parked at work? Perhaps data sharing uploads are happening. Maybe try turning that off and see if it makes a difference.

    TeslaCam stopped working

    Sentry Mode does 2 things. 1. Save video footage to USB when an event is triggered. 2. Enables the music alarm to come on of speakers when it detects someone trying to do something to the car with a lot force. If the dashcam is not working, #2 can still be enabled. The option to enable Sentry...

    neat idea for the Tesla app? Widget/shortcut for setting temp and unlock

    Tasker with the Tesla Plugin will give you access to send commands directly to the car. Not sure how familiar you are with Tasker but I'm going to assume you know the basics of it. For my A/C widget as an example, I made a few tasks. 1. A/C On - Sends command to turn A/C On 2. A/C Off - Sends...

    Sentry Mode False Alarm

    @Accentcreate I did read your post. Some people sometimes confuse a regular sentry event with an alarm and I was just confirming this didn't apply here, which is why I was asking you to clarify. Many people will look at the first few video clips of their captured saved clips and think nothing...

    Curious phone key failure

    It's been awhile since i've had a phone key issue with my S10+ but it happened over the weekend to me where the car did not open when I went up to it, asking to use the key card. I took out the phone and opened up the app and then it started working again. I think the app or a related service...

    Sentry Mode False Alarm

    Is your car alarm actually going off or are your referring to a sentry mode event being captured? If you're getting constant audio alarms then that would be a pretty annoying issue that Tesla should look at. If it's just sentry events, sentry mode records the last 10 minutes when an event is...

    Either driving video or sentry video?

    The RecentClips folder only keeps clips of the last hour. If you pull the drive at 7pm, it will only have footage that was recorded between 6pm and 7pm. If you got home from work at 5pm and went to your car at 7pm and pulled the drive out, no footage before 6pm will be available. If you want...

    When will Tesla offer in-car review of Sentry Cam footage?

    Elon has only acknowledged that more updates are coming to sentry mode. As to what those are, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

    USB Game Controllers confirmed to work (at least with Teslatari games)

    Doubt we'll see anything that satisfies this until we are able to manually adjust sensitivity. Right now i'm fine with the sensitivity of the analogs when I play asteroids and centipede. Don't care too much for the other games. Still waiting on a software update so I can start playing BB2 with...

    Tesla Cam Video Quality

    Saw your last video and thought, that looks like Dallas. Quality definitely not as good at night in general but yours looks pretty crappy. I would wait to see if the next software update fixes it first.

    My Model 3 is so perfect....

    I love that it auto closes my garage when I leave and auto opens when I come home. I love how they think outside the box for so many things about this car.

    Anyone still rocking a Pi Zero W smart drive for TeslaCam on Sentry Mode?

    Also note that some wifi routers have USB ports that let you attach storage to function as a NAS with SMB, that's what I'm doing for my set up. In my case I needed my CIFS version to be 1.0 on my Asus router.

    Recovering a Corrupted USB Flash Drive

    TeslaCam records whenever the car is on and not asleep. You can be parked but the car may still be awake for some reason or another, and it will record during this time.

    How much is "Premium Connectivity" subscription?

    Here we go. He mentioned this during the Ride The Lightning podcast. Elon said it's easy to port Netflix b/c you'd just be going through the browser (40 minute mark). Some video apps are just just mini browsers redirecting to a website (pretty sure this is the case with YouTube apps for TV and...

    How much is "Premium Connectivity" subscription?

    I thought it was mentioned somewhere previously by Elon that it would be browser based, which would open up video services beyond just Netflix/Youtube. Apps though would be ideal for those w/o the web browser.

    FSD Upgrade Email

    I wonder what they'll call the next chip then. Elon said they're already working on that now that HW3/FSD is done.

    Is it worth $3k for FSD for EAP owners

    I think Elon means earlier access to software updates, I don't recall him ever saying that people with FSD would be part of the "Early Access Program".

    Sentry Mode WAY too sensitive

    I've re-encoded all of my sentry clips to combine all 3 videos and reviewed all of them. I would say 99% of the time I was able to find the triggering event. They've always been at exactly 1 minute from the end of the clip (ie, if video was 9m47s then event was at 8m47s, or if video is 10m15s...

    Another Model 3 owner was able to unlock mine

    You still need to be within a couple of feet from the car to unlock it. I can be connected to my car from 30 ft away with my phone showing "Phone Key: Connected" but someone cannot open the car if the phone is that far away. Before posting I reconfirmed this by leaving my phone on the 3rd floor...

    Dashcam and saved videos

    Does the end of your saved clips end sometime after you park?

    2019.28.1

    That's my theory at least. I think the visuals on the screen come from the camera AI vision and the green artifacts/distortion we see correlates to how the car tries to interpret what it sees results in the dancing.

    Model 3 Updated to 2019.15.105

    It seems like a large amount of the tesla fleet is on 24.4 based on teslafi's firmware page, but based on this thread, I'm guessing there are many new and recent owners who are not registered to teslafi so they're not being accounted for yet in their numbers. TeslaFi.com Firmware Tracker

    2019.28.1

    Those dancing cars are a product of the distortion/pixelation we see from from the cameras (as seen in the dashcam/sentry mode saves). The car is using the camera's vision to detect other cars. Both the distortion and dancing cars seems to happen primarily when the car is not moving.

    Anyone still rocking a Pi Zero W smart drive for TeslaCam on Sentry Mode?

    It's not as bad to set up. What's more important is where you're copying your files to and how it is set up with the pi to connect to.

    Need to sell my new model 3

    If FSD pricing keeps going up like Elon says, you could probably hold on to the car longer and sell higher. I think the next price $1000 hike is coming 8/16 for FSD.

    M3 - when should we buy?

    I would invest that money and wait until you're ready. Who knows what updates to the model 3 will have by Spring 2020. Elon has mentioned, for example, that future motors will last 500k-1million miles which would be great for the eventual robotaxi usage.

    Anyone still rocking a Pi Zero W smart drive for TeslaCam on Sentry Mode?

    If you're using the one step setup, all of that should be configured after you load the image onto your sd card. As long as you can setup smb/samba shares on your synology, you should be creating/modifying the config file with your smb share information. There should be a log file in the sdcard...

    Those with EnhancedAP to receive 3k discount on FSD

    FSD enabled cars may very well be priced out of the market at some point. Tesla cars without FSD will still sell well. Those wanting FSD to profit using them as robotaxis will have to pay a lot more for FSD to do that. Other competitors won't have FSD (if they do, they'll likely add a...

    Those with EnhancedAP to receive 3k discount on FSD

    I believe Elon's plan is to increase FSD significantly. Assuming his estimate that these FSD cars can be added to the robotaxi network and make up to $30k a year, the price will have to go up else "scalpers" will just buy up all the cars and use them as robotaxis. Demand will increase as will FSD.
