So, I had just gotten my TapTes dock thingy, so I had been waiting for an opportunity to test out Sentry with it - you know, just to cover all bases and make sure everything is 100%. Don’t want to have an incident to then find out it was never working!
Anyway, went out for dinner last night, parked in between two cars on the street. Figured one of the cars would leave while I was at dinner, which would trigger a Sentry event so I could pull the drive after and check all is good.
Yep, that’s exactly what happened. One Sentry event when the car behind me left (no damage). I pulled the drive when I got home, and it had saved the last 10 minutes before the event, but just as the car was backing up to pull out of the space, that’s it. Recording is done. So literally a second or two before this driver might have hit me, there’s no more recording! What the heck?
So I have 9:50 seconds of a parked car behind me, and then 10 seconds of the guy getting into his car, backing up, and then STARTING to pull out. If he had hit my car it would have happened literally 2 seconds after the 10 minute saved data ended.
Ugh.
