dashcam

The USB drive for the sentry and dash cam videos in my Y is in the center console compartment just in front of the cup holders. Unfortunately, the two spots to plug the USB drive into are halfway down the wall. If I was to use a normal USB drive, it would stick out a couple of inches. If I was...

There should be a "safely eject USB" feature to stop all activity to all USB partitions (sentry, music, and any future partitions). There is a hidden long-press to stop the Dashcam. It works but it doesn't promise to pause all USB activity and it's hard to find in the Controls or the Owner's...

Hi all, I’ve purchased my Model 3 RWD in June, and since last September the dashcam has been unavailable every other trip. It usually worked if I rebooted, but having to reboot 5+ times a day is not a good sign. Furthermore in December I’ve opted for an SSD (Samsung T7 1 TB) and have...

I created a web application for merge TeslaCam dashboard and Sentry video clips that I would like to share and get feedback. Works on Mac or Windows using Chrome or IE browsers tesla dashcam merge The app uses your local file system and browser - so nothing to install or upload 1 . Click...

I bought my Tesla (Model Y Long Range) in September last year - it’s a great car, the autopilot has been amazing on the long drives, and the power of the car is just insane! One thing not so insane though, is the in-car dashcam viewer. After an incident at the start of the year on the way back...

Today I was involved in a car accident where another vehicle collided with the right side of my Tesla while attempting to change lanes. Unfortunately, the other driver is insisting that I was the one who changed lanes and caused the collision. I am aware that the Tesla dashcam records only one...

Is the recorded footage only viewable on the main screen if you press save, and if the drive is removed and plugged into a PC can any footage be seen if you've not saved it? Thanks.

Hello, Newb question here... In my 2023 Model 3, with sw version 2022.44.100, I'd like to keep Sentry mode disabled but have the ability to save/record dash cam footage on-demand (via manual mode/option), does anyone know if this is possible? It doesn't seem the case. With Sentry mode...

So today I went into work and parked next to another car. A couple hours later I came back to my MY and noticed that Sentry Mode had captured a coworker checking out some paint damage to the side of her car (that one I parked next to). I didn't notice this existing damage on her car when I...

Hello - forgive me for asking this question as it might be simple but I need help. 2023 Model Y does not come with a USB drive in the glovebox. It has an internal storage not visible. I can view the dashcam and sentry videos on the Y, but how do I export them out of there so that I can get a...

If I were to ask FSD drivers for footage of common errors that the system makes (e.g. one example might be mistaking a parked car for a moving vehicle, and stopping for it), do you think I would be able to get footage from this group? This is research for a school project, not commercial or...

Hi. I have a 2016 Model X P90D with MCU1 and autopilot 1.0. I really like the integrated dashcam on my model 3 and I want to get something similar for my MX. If I upgrade to MCU2, is there a way to get a front facing dashcam through Tesla? Or should I look at aftermarket options for dashcams...

Hey all! Just got my MYLR a couple of weeks ago. When i first got my car, it saved a long video of just me driving. Turned on sentry mode, gets notifications when I get back in my car but there is no video at all. I am using the tesla thumb drive. I deleted that long video it initially...

Anyone done a hardwired installation of a Thinkware or Blackvue Dashcam with parking mode? Just wondering if Teslas still throw errors when there is battery drain due to these dashcams? Do you guys suggest using a separate battery like the Celink Neo and run the dashcam off that instead of...

Has anyone here ever tested out Using an Internal SATA SSD via USB to SATA III adapter (for dashcam/sentry)? It seems to me that, in theory, this should be the ultimate solution for performance, durability and resistance to extreme temperatures. I can only find one person (has a tiny 98 views...

Hi all, Is anyone able to explain why my dashcam recordings do not show up in the car (i havent checked on the USB yet). But i have deleted all recordings in the menu in the car and reformatted. When i press the dashcam button to record, it never seems to save the clip? Am i doing something...

I found a low cost USB to microSD card adapter with built in wifi hotspot/client capability. Yes, it is old, but it is cheap and workable for model Y 2022. It costs me CNY35 (USD5.3) for two pieces. uSD provides more options and is replaceable. But it has a major shortcoming: wifi <-> usb is...

Last night I found my 2022 model Y started showing me the error (shown in the attachment): This starts happened since I formatted my USB drive last time (my previous post for formatting the drive) I clearly parked the car and toggle lock/unlock doesn't work. Today in the morning, I tried...

I've been living with my 2021 S LR for about a month now. I absolutely love this car, and wanted to start writing about my experiences good and bad, including several issues I've observed for which there may hopefully be a resolution, as well as adding another data point to many of the ongoing...

Hi Everyone, Just picked up a 2021 Plaid and have heard that it includes a dashcam feature and Sentry Mode (though I haven’t tried either much). I’d like to know if there are others who’ve decided to install 3rd-party dashcams? I’m on the fence about getting a 3P cam.

Could anyone recommend a third party dashcam with parking mode and a long duration battery? (Or battery pack.) i.e. a way to record incidents during many days parked. I park in a shared garage with tight spots and the risk of someone dinging my car is high. We're all happily wealthy here but...

I've swept the forum/Youtube/the outer galaxy and the question still sears my soul: what is the best third party wifi dash cam to access live footage over wifi of what the car is experiencing? And to be notified of potential criminal activity? I need to stop people in the act from hurting my...

While watching "Wham Bam Teslacam" on YouTube, I notice that they often speak about "giving the Teslacam footage to...." law enforcement, the other drivers, etc. But the way it is said, it sounds like they do so immediately. I realize one could show the video footage on the screen instantly...

Is the Dashcam suppose to save your entire trip or are you suppose to hit the save button only if you want the trip saved? Is it suppose to work like an aftermarket dash cam that constantly records and overwrites? I see several threads of previous updates changing from autosave to manual...

Model 3 SR+ w/ Samsung T5 ssd. Been working rock solid since I got it. Recently having very consistent dashcam icon dissapearing when I enter my car. Reboot usually fixes it but it's happening way too much now. Rebooting more than once a day.. Is the ssd going bad? Or is it a bug from the...

A friend bought a new Model 3, on 12/30/2020, and I'm puzzled as to where the USB ports are located. The Dashcam icon shows a red dot, but we have not, ourselves, put in a datastick. An aftermarket firm's photos seems to show 2 USB-A sockets and a 12V receptacle, for cars built after June...

Dash Cam icon is lighted so I know it is on, yet not recording onto USB. Not sure how to make that happen. The USB drive is the one that Tesla provided with my 2021 and is formatted. Sentry Mode is recording just fine and listed on USB as Saved Clips- front, back, right repeater, left repeater...

I have the RAVPower Portable External SSD Pro 1. 512GB Hard Drive with 540MB/S Data Transfer 2. USB 3.1 Gen 2 Interface Here is my entire process 1. Plug the SSD 2. Format the drive 3. It show the Dashcam 4. After a while Dashcam disappear 5. Unplug and plug back 6. Dashcam setting ask to...

Since the day I got my Model 3, I noticed that my dashcam flash drive would sometimes disconnect or not be seen by the car. I originally just had a sandisk flash drive, then upgrade to an SSD, and then to another flash drive. All of these suffered from the same issue. 50% of the time, when I...

This weekend I play around with sending my Dashcam and Sentry files from my MY to my Mac using the teslausb GitHub project. The concept is that the videos are stored on an SD card fronted by a Raspberry Pi Zero W and when you Tesla gets in range of your home's WiFi it starts the upload...

I have a mint Blackvue 4K DR900S-2CH with a 128GB SD card for sale. Asking $440 shipped. It's in mint (used) condition with absolutely zero issues (the rear cam has never been used). I have a newer Model S, so I no longer have a need for it. This also includes a wire tap for the front camera...

I have had my M3 for about 18 months now. I still absolutely love driving it but I am becoming increasingly frustrated with multiple issues. I was not able to find similar threads so I have started a new one. I took it in to a service center once, which is 2 hours away from home, only to be...

I may have missed it, but I have looked through the threads quite a bit to see if anyone else has gotten a new Tesla where the Dashcam didn't work from the get go. I have seen several people have issues with software updates or failed/corrupted USBs causing the issue, but they all had it working...

I have an ssd drive plugged in, with a FAT32 partition for TeslaCam, and an ext4 partition with a bunch of music. updated to 2020.24.6.9 today. tonight, I got in the car after a restaurant, and the car notified me there were 4 sentry mode incidents. when I tapped on the notice, though, it...

Short version: I know there are options in the back to tap into, but it seems like you need to be in the car/car powered on for them to get juice. Looking to avoid running a cable from front to back to get a dedicated always-on 12v line in the rear. I don't need a lot of power. Is there...

In version 2020.24.6.4 Dashcam and Sentry are not recording. It also did not work in the last version that I had that introduced the video viewer. I didn't write down that software version because I was "hoping" it would just start working again with the next upgrade, but it does not. In the...

I have a model 3, software version 2020.20.12. My saved dashcam videos are sporadically unplayable or partially unplayable. This happens on the tesla reader where I get a message "video unavailable, please select different footage". But it's not just the reader. When I try to play them on my...

With the recent on infotainment upgrade to HW 3, I purchased the Samsung T7 500 GB SSD online for $119.99 (Amazon). Upon its arrival, plugged it into the USB port, went to the settings, safety & security screen, clicked on format Drive, and was surprised how fast that was. I am so impressed...

I'm a noob to the Dashcam feature under HW3, and I've noticed some apparent problems with recorded video quality. I've attached an example below. It exhibits hesitations and image break-ups. This is one of the worst examples - the distortion problems aren't this bad on all recorded video...

Hello all-I’ve had my 3 for a couple months and have gone through several adapters, attachments, etc in the effort to get the sentry mode/dashcam recording to work. With the latest software update I’m excited to play clips right on the screen but have been unable to get anything to record. I...

New M3 owner this past month and new to the forums. Searched and found different issues with dashcam but nothing helped so far. The dashcam recording red light is on, no warning or error messages. It randomly seems to decide when it will record or not. This AM I took a drive, and when I got...

I just noticed by playing with the new 2020.12.5 Dascam viewer that the Dashcam no longer seems to continuously record to the USB drive with recent software updates, not sure when it happened. I now only get recordings when I explicitly save by pressing the dashcam icon. Anyone else notice this?

A tweet from a members of Tesla’s Early Access program hints at an upcoming “Dashcam Viewer” feature that allows drivers to view Sentry and Dashcam clips on the touchscreen. Tesla cars have integrated cameras that are able to record dash views, as well as possible threats like a vandal or...

I'm running 2020.12.1 firmware and am having problems with my DashCam setup, specifically, 2 features that have been added in various FW updates over the past few months just simply not working. I drive a late 2019 Model 3 Performance. - Files are supposed to be cyclically deleted, correct...

Today was the first time I have driven ReX since I got the latest (to me) update to 2020.12. When I got home from a half-hour drive, I got a message stating that my drive was full?!? I've had the same drive in since early last year (April, I believe) and I have never tapped the icon to record...

Hey TMC Community! After my model 3 got keyed last year during a day of rain, I rushed to view the Sentry footage and saw over 350 events. With no way of isolating the actual incident, I set out to make an app that could classify humans using the new machine-learning packages within the iOS...

Have owned the Roadie for about 1 month and wanted to share my review for prospective/current buyers. But first /rant on: With how innovative Tesla is, it's laughable they haven't already integrated similar through Tesla UI/touchscreen. Come on Tesla... is this on the horizon? Also, with all...

Hoping Tesla updates the teslacam functionality to continually write video to the drive and overwriting as needed. I don't understand why it's not already a feature unless it's a technical hurdle for Tesla OS to manage files but what is the logic here otherwise? I ordered several large USB...

Repeat thread: Posted in other forums Since end Nov/Dec, I've experienced issues related to autopilot and sentry mode. 1) Auto Pilot constantly not available. It started intermittently but after about 2 months it's now completely unavailable. 2) Sentry Mode constantly turned off due to Sentry...
