I can't even think of a H500 without having the Magnum PI song play through my head.

My saved video files are named with Pacific time, while I am on Eastern time. I just reviewed a bunch of captured files today from my driveway while an electrician was installing my 14-50 outlet. They are named 3 hours before they were captured. I assumed this was because Sentry files are supposedly uploaded to Tesla to safeguard in case USB is stolen (which is on Pacific time). Not sure if this is accurate (will be a storage and LTE use nightmare for Tesla).

Correction: the file name has local time. The “Date Modified” is Pacific time.

I know there's been claims about that, but pretty sure folks who've been monitoring network traffic with Sentry engaged haven't found that to actually be happening.

The timestamps on the directories seems to be local... We should simply ignore the UTC timestamps on the files.

Not just that, the way Tesla stores videos is not optimal for quick viewing (full of small 1-minute videos, the three cameras in three different files ...).

There is an Android App called TeslaCam Viewer on the PlayStore, you plug in your flash drive in your phone with an OTG adapter and you can watch the recorded videos side by side and well organised and by local date !

Stumpled upon this while playing with dashcam for the first time. My files are definitely named according to local time with a "date modified" in California (Pacific) time. No UTC to be found on my file structure.

Same here. Date modified is in California time, nit UTC. File names are located time. Bizarre. Should be the same.
