Flaky Sentry Mode...any insights?

Sentry mode is great….if/when it works.
Mid 2018 Model X; 2019.20.4.2

All 3 cams are fine when recording during drives.

When parked with Sentry on, way too many drop outs…
especially on the side repeaters.
Many times they are either pixelated or they just drop off completely after a few seconds of recording.
Sometimes only one side. Sometimes both sides.

Makes Sentry worthless if I need footage.

Any ideas? Or is this just a buggy feature that we have to wait for Tesla to get right?
Thanks!
 
Good to know I'm not alone. I sent in a bug report and an email to [email protected] on this issue. Perhaps if many of us did this they would prioritize fully stabilizing the Sentry Mode recordings...as they can be absolutely critical if needed. I would be screaming mad if I had an incident and the cameras were wonky, not recording what they should be recording....
And the rear camera sure needs activation too.
