Hi just looking for info regarding the charging pad & flash card for video footage etc.
Question is does the charge pad need to use both usb charging ports to work? If it does can the flash card for video footage be plugged into the rear USB ports?
Thanks
Using the dashcam -
Format a USB stick to FAT32. I ordered the below and have had no issues –
https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Ultra-USB-Flash-Drive/dp/B00DQGBYDC
Download the below program to do this as Windows cannot format to Fat32 -
FAT32 Format - Download
Once formatted, create a folder called Teslacam. If you do not do this, nothing will record.
Insert the formatted USB stick into one of the front ports in car.
Recording will then start, which is indicated by red circle icon on top left of screen.
All clips are over-written after 60 mins. Should you have an incident then tap the red icon and it will download current clips to a saved clips area on the usb stick and they will not be written over.
Download the below program on pc to view front, left, right and rear cameras on one handy screen -
Tesla Sentry Cam Software, Sentry Keeper, Tesla Sentry, Sentry Monitor
Sentry mode clips will also utilize the same usb stick. When sentry mode is enabled, it will create its own folder on usb stick and the clips can be viewed on pc.
Use the Tesla app to enable sentry mode, handy for when you leave the car somewhere you’re not too sure on!
It will record multiple clips when anyone approaches or walks past the car. Very sensitive, only use when needed as it also uses battery a little bit.
