Nice app feature! Just to be clear it’s under ‘CONTROLS’ on the setting screen.
It stays on until you go for a drive then it resets to off (you can arm it, open your door, walk away, and it still be armed). You'll need to re-enable it once you park via the screen or app.
I believe it was clocked at 2-3% every 8 hours or something like that. Basically, the same as if your car never went into sleep mode.
Yes the dashcam records from the same 3 cameras as Sentry mode. on 2019.5.4 there were reports that videos were being corrupted and not recording properly from the side cameras. Hopefully 2019.5.15 fixed a lot of these bugs.
Reports are that it uses about 1 mile of range per hour when Sentry mode is on. Currently you have to turn it on each time the car is put into park.
Damn, that's more than I was expecting. Doing some quick math, thats around 250-300 W of power consumption to have 3 cameras running. Agree it sounds like basically the car isn't going to sleep in this mode then. I've estimated previously that the phantom draw is around 60-70W, so this is about 3.5x the idle draw of phantom mode.
I guess its nice to have the feature, but I do think its a bit wasteful for running 3 cameras given that a dash cam maybe pulls 1A/5V, so 5W. That includes the writing to SD card in the dash cam, and usually also for powering a small LCD screen....So in my simple mind I would expect 3 cameras to add less than 25-30W of 'overhead' to the idle draw of a model 3. My 'quick' estimates and reality aren't always in alignment, but it seems excessive to me still![]()
Anyone knows if the Saved Clips from Sentry Mode will be automatically overwritten or not ? What happen if the USB drive get filled up ?
Doesn't appear to overwrite. I noticed my recording red dot is gone this morning. Time to pull the USB and see what's on there![]()
Same thing happened this morning to me. Recording dot was off. Didn’t have a chance to check the key but seems like a glitch.Doesn't appear to overwrite. I noticed my recording red dot is gone this morning. Time to pull the USB and see what's on there![]()
