Sentry mode, all files corrupted

2016 S90D with AP2.0 hardware, 2019.16.2 software
I have read a lot of threads and still have not found an answer.
EVERY TeslaCam file is corrupted and unreadable. Tried 2 different USB drives, and now a 240GB KIngston SSD. I have turned off sentry and waited up to 60 seconds before removing the drive. I have tried 3 different computers and all with the same result:
This file isn't playable. That might be because the file type is unsupported, the file extension is incorrect, or the file is corrupt.

Any suggestions?

Yeah, AP2.0 doesn't support Sentry mode saving the videos to USB. (or the TeslaCam dash-cam feature.) You have to have the AP2.5, or newer, hardware for that.

What it does do is save essentially empty files...


Thanks, I appreciate the quick response.
I knew I didn't have access to the Dashcam, but I could never find anything indicating the Sentry was fake on AP2.0.
I'll quit wasting my time!

Quick question on this- if I pay for FSD so that my hardware gets updated, will it then support dashcam and/or sentry model recording? (That is, once the hardware is actually updated by Tesla).

That's the hope, but nobody knows.
