    HW2.5/MCU1 and Sentry videos

    Can someone confirm Model S/MCU1/HW2.5 can retrieve Sentry videos? I’ve formatted to FAT32 and created the TeslaCam folder, but it’s still not working. Can anyone confirm success: - Using SanDisk Ultra Fit 3.1 USB Flash drive? If not that one, which did you use? - DashCam icon appears after...

    Backup Cam doesnt adjust exp. for night?

    I posted this in the Teslalounge sub but it got downvoted for some reason. I know there is a COMPLETE BLACK backup camera bug going around but that's NOT my issue. My backup camera works 100% fine during the day, it just no longer adjusts its exposure for night, so it's really dark. Its not...

    Installing sentry SSD in glovebox

    I relocated the factory USB hub below the HVAC blower, and plugged a USB hub into one port and extension cables into the other port, and was able to plug the T5 SSD into USB hub and route the wire up into the glovebox. This way it's safely locked away and out of sight when the car is locked...

    Making Dashcam/Sentry work with Jeda V2 wireless charging pad.

    I purchased a small USB hub after I got my Model 3 so I could hook up the Jeda V2 wireless charging pad and still use my Sandisk 128GB USB 3.1 memory key to store Dashcam/Sentry video. This worked fine for a while, but once we hit the V9 (2019.32.x) builds I started to have lots of errors saying...

    Dashcam / Sentry - Left & Right Angles Different

    New M3 owner for the last few weeks - watched my first dashcam and sentry videos yesterday and noticed that the driver side camera angle is tight to the car and I can see part of the body and further behind the car, whereas the passenger side is wider and does not display the side of the car or...

    v10 TeslaCam- supposed to overwrite, do I even need > 16GB USB now?

    I got the v10 SW update on my LR3D on 10/2/19. I've been plagued with USB for TeslaCam issues since about August. I bought the Samsung BAR 128GB in June and partitioned/formatted it to work with TeslaCam, but after 3 months it gave the Write Speed Too Slow warning and won't work now for...

    Tesla Theater / MCU1 / Sentry Playback

    Lots of conversation about MCU1 and the fact that many of the V10 features are simply not compatible. For me, the theater mode is not all that important. I can't see a lot of need to watch video on my screen. Perhaps in our 3, but I digress. My real concern here is that Tesla Theater will be...

    I want to watch Sentry Videos on Tesla Theater v10

    Hello, When I leave the car parked with Sentry mode, come back and there a few events, I would like to be able to watch in the center display the videos to ensure it was just passer by. As far as I know, this was not possible (but please correct me if I am wrong). Also, it is pretty...

    Backup camera to be added to Sentry

    This is a great feature addition. I hope it’ll be active for the dash cam recordings as well. What would be super fabulous is if we could get control of the clips through the app or in car interface. https://electrek.co/2019/09/04/tesla-v10-software-updates-elon-musk-mobile-app/

    Only three cameras in TeslaCam? Where are the other cams?

    Is there a way to get the other ones to record too? (missing are the pillar cams & the rear one) Thanks!

    Sentry Mode Issues

    I am having certain issues with my M3 AWD sentry mode. The issues are best summed up by this thread in the MS forum Sentry mode bugs 1) Visually busy backgrounds(think brick buildings, trees, faded asphalt) will cause half or more of the picture to pixelate and blur. 2) Cars pulling in next...

    Sentry Issues

    Came back to car after a music event, and found 118 sentry events. Realized, subwoofers at concert had been rattling the car for hours, setting off alarm. Ooops. Guess I'll park on the other side of the building next time

    Sentry Mode captured commuter confused? by electric vehicle chargers

    I finally got some time to figure out how to retrieve and review the Sentry Mode video in a reasonable way. Most of it was pretty boring. Saw a few people admire the car, grabbed the video of me leaving my friend's Dodge Challenger SRT behind when taking off from an intersection, but luckily...

    What usb drive GB do you use for dash cam?

    The normal dash cam mode rewrites every 2GB I think? So I guess Sentry Mode is the one that's truly occupying. Anyway, lets hear it!

    Sentry / Security incompatible?

    I did a reasonable search for this topic & didn't find anything. Why can't I enable both Sentry Mode and the Security Alarm at the same time? Anybody understand the reason? I'm at software version 2019.16.2.

    Lost 40 miles sitting in the garage for 3 days

    New owner here, got my M3 LR RWD last week. I had my car charged up to 80% 260 mi at a supercharging station on Sunday before going home. I turned on the Sentry mode, then turned on walk-away-lock. I also turned on wifi for update. The car sat in the garage for a few days and was not used...

    macOS Dashcam viewer (beta testers needed)

    I worked on this app this past weekend. It allows you to quickly scrub through all of your video files on the USB device in one timeline. It's mostly done. Just need some beta testers. I need HW3 users (to see if video files changed in any way). Message me if you fit the above. I only need a...

    Sentry Mode activeert Bluetooth carkit?

    Sentry Mode: sinds de introductie ervan, bemerk ik dat mijn telefoon regelmatig via Bluetooth connect met de carkit vd Tesla, ondanks ik binnen ben, dat de auto op slot is en de keyfob ver uit de buurt. Zojuist weer: ik ben binnen aan het bellen en plop, Bluetooth neemt het - als headset - over...

    Tesla camera recordings

    OK, I've had my USB in the drive for several weeks now. It seems to be functioning well with the red light on while I drive. I've hit the button only once while driving to "save" a video as I was right in front of a big-rig that had a tire blow out. Thought it would be interesting to see it...

    Not seeing Sentry Mode

    I'm on firmware 2019.7.102. I have a correctly formatted USB that works fine with the dashcam. Tesla chat support says I should have Sentry mode with my firmware. They have had me reboot & poweroff/on the car but still no luck. They are at a loss for why I am not seeing it. Any ideas? thx

    Sentry Mode - Right camera not recording?

    I’m on 2019.5.15 that enables Sentry mode, I tried it last night and all but the right camera seem to record. I see files on the USB from the right repeater but all the files from right cam is zero bytes. Autopilot appears to be working fine. Anyone having the same issue?

    No Bach in Sentry Mode

    I was playing around with Sentry Mode, and got the alarm but no Bach. Can't find any setting to turn it on, either. Anyone have any suggestions?
