Is a flash drive required for Sentry Mode?

I know, probably a stupid question... After the latest update, I can enable Sentry Mode on my 2017 MX, and all seems well; however from what I've read, it would seem that Sentry Mode records video onto the flash drive used for the Tesla dashcam, which would be a problem for me since my vehicle doesn't support the dashcam feature. This being the case, what can I expect if someone breaks in--just a text message to my phone suggesting I call the police?

On my AP2.0 S you do not need the USB for the current, limited function on 2010.16.1. But if later versions record in black and white, you may need one. Even if they move video to the cloud, for security and/or processing, you may need to record it to USB initially.
