Live Camera View in the U.K.

[Pagemakers]

Should the U.K. have live camera view?

I’m running iOS app version 4.3.0 and car firmware 2021.40.6

I have premium connectivity.

Live cameras are nowhere to be seen in the app. Is this feature disabled in the U.K.

Not available in the UK yet, US only at the moment.

Wonder if we will ever see it. I guess the GDPR warriors will take care of that.

I see no reason it won't come here... Only one country has it so far, the UK isn't alone waiting by any means.

Something like this is potentially a big change server side, it won't be an instant global rollout.

We already have sentry mode, where you can watch a video an hour later of people walking by, live streaming is just the same but watching it a few seconds later. If we have one, we can have the other.

Makes sense!

Enter "sentry mode" into the search box for TRUE ENLIGHTENMENT

Annoyingly the thread title made me think it had gone live, rather than another thread asking if it has.

Thanks, just upgraded and have been trying to find this feature for an hour lol

Neighbour wins privacy row over smart doorbell and cameras

Does seem potentially problematic under UK privacy laws. Depends where the car is routinely parked I guess.

Sentry already records people who venture too close to the car. The only practical difference I think is that watching it on the app would be livestreaming a camera, rather than something that has been triggered.

Reading the article, it seems that a big part of that decision was due to the fact that the CCTV camera and Ring doorbell captured audio. Sentry mode doesn't record audio, does it?

 

[Jonwa]

Ah, good point.

No it doesn't.

That's not to say that capturing images doesn't have GDPR implications, but obviously if you are incidentally recording all conversations that take place in your neighbour's garden, that's a rather larger invasion of privacy....

My nest camera can hear things quite some distance away.. not that I really care, but all that gets uploaded to the USA so is on some server farm somewhere.

There are so many smart doorbells, cameras etc. out there before you start on the dash cams that the GDPR just breaks as the domestic use exception really only covers static local CCTV. I think some of the car stuff it is covered by it being a public space (no right to privacy) but there's still a grey area that's really never been tested.

But since BMW already have a similar system in the UK I don't think the issue is legal, it's Tesla. Same reason we never got improved autopark, responding to green lights, etc.

I suspect new features go through legal review for each territory. Since we’re a sub-set of UNECE/Europe and we have the ability to make our own laws I suspect that puts us at the back of the legal review queue.
