Sentry Mode - disk filling up fast!

[neilrlsmith]

So I have this enabled and have the recommended 32GB flash drive but it's literally filling up within the week with loads of useless files. I have two folders - recent and saved but I didn't create them and I haven't saved any either. I have all the usual exclusions on, so am I doing anything wrong or am I just supposed to view 100 odd clips each week to look at another car parked next to me

Save them all up, concatenate them and do dvd's of a year's sentry mode as christmas presents for your friends. You could combine that with a second dvd of all the dashcam footage that didn't get overwritten that you downoad at the same time.
Remember the dvd of clockwise around the M25? And the sequel.. anticlockwise?

My 32GB did that too. Quite frankly I find the capability almost useless, unless of course I have a major banger. I come back to the car. It says 7 Sentry incidents. I have to pull out the drive, take it to a computer, download a program to view it and scan through hundreds of video clips to include the one of a fat ass bending over to pick up her purse and cracking a smile (ludicrous!). Launch it when you can review it on your car screen please.

128 spare SSD blade here. Glad I had it, sounds like anything smaller than that would get full pretty quickly...

Try this to help search through the unless clips.

Just look round the car - of no damage then delete the files.

Here's an updated video. I use 128GB iXpands with no issues:

Thanks for this. Unfortunately I have an android phone! But what's the difference between the 2 folders as I am not saving anything? Are you they duplicates!?

When I got in the car today I noticed a red exclamation mark where the Sentry Mode icon usually is. I touched it and the message came up “USB Drive Full”, so that’s used 32GB in about 10 days.

Tonight I’m going to reformat the whole 128GB for TeslaCam, and get another drive for my music!
