This past weekend we had sentry mode on while parked in the city. Most of the time we were far from the car, but near the end of the trip we were at a place very close to where we were parked.
At that time I got an alert in the mobile app from sentry, and also heard a car alarm going off. I looked around the corner from where we were and could see that it was out car. At that moment I could see someone standing right by the passenger door. At that time they seemed to be spooked by the alarm and lights and shuffled off.
This was the middle of the day in a busy area, so I would have expected some alerts, but wasn't really worried about someone breaking in. Regardless, I left where we were to go check on the car, walked around it, saw nothing wrong, went back to where we were when I received the alert.
At home I reviewed the videos and can see me walking around the car after the alter, but for 10 minutes prior to that, including when the alert went off, there is NO video. There is plenty of other video way before that as well as after that. This is a new 128 GB Samsung USB drive (was formatted correctly) that appears to record video just fine (it's been in use for at least a month). It is plugged in via a hub, so I guess that's a possible culprit.
I called support, they said stop by a service center and the techs can pull the logs. Tech said that he could pull the log, but would need basically the EXACT minute it occurred to pull it on a 3, otherwise we would need to wade through too much log data. Me did say on older S and X cars it was much easier to pull logs for when an alert was sent.
His recommendation was to record exactly when it happens again, and then bring it in for when to review - so if this happens to you, keep this in mind. Any ideas on what could cause this? Any recommendations of what to try other than eliminating the hub and trying another usb drive?
Unfortunately it is cause for a lack of confidence that it didn't go off when it should have the most. Hopefully if its a software issues it gets corrected with an update. Other than this, things have been fantastic with this car.
