Automatic uploading Dashcam files

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.

The author made it somewhat easy but you still need to be comfortable with the Unix command line. There are a few video tutorials on Youtube as well. The only issue I had so far is I used a slower micro SD card (U1). I've since replaced with a category U3. Will see how this goes. You can even receive a push alert (I used Pushover) when the uploads complete.

I then use Focus Dashcam Organizer ($9.99) to view the uploaded files.

A little bit of a DIY solution but I enjoyed goofing around this weekend getting everything to work.
