Car is flicking the lights on/off...

[Ragnarkov]

So my car is charging in my driveway as normal. I'm using the basic 120V 15A charger that came with the car.

Except tonight, for some reason, its just started flicking the headlights on/off quickly every minute or 2.

I only noticed it cause I thought I heard a noise outside, and checked my security camera. And saw it had been inundated with motion video every minute or so. I went out to check the car. Nothing on sentry cam. Car appears to be fine. Charging normal. Its locked. But for some reason, it's just started doing this.

I'm gonna do a hard reboot of the car in the morning (hoping this fixes it, or it's a one night dealy), as I have a 1100km road trip with the kids starting tomorrow, and would prefer not to have this pissing people off at hotels etc.

Anyone else have this happen to them?

An update. I remotely disabled sentry mode, and the headlight flashing stopped. I re-enabled it, and after a few minutes, it resumed flashing.

Wierd...

Do you a notice on the monitor that a sentry event(s) has occurred? When in Sentry Mode, the headlights will turn on momentarily if something gets too close to the car in the view of the cameras.

Last night I didn't even look, as I was also helping my son out with something.

Came back and looked again. Most definitely sentry related. I'm reviewing the videos now...

Edit:

Tried uploading an image, but was a no go. Sentry recorded 104 events...

Edit 2:

Checked the videos. And nothing. It's like the system was glitching. It didn't catch the cat that walked under it, but caught a ton of nothing. Oh well. Drive wiped clean, and gonna do a hard reboot once fully charged.

Very strange...

Sometimes Sentry Mode just gets a little sensitive.

People have reported this kind of thing when using Sentry in close quarters like a garage. I'd say disable Sentry when at home.
