Sentry Mode not recording

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I have a usb stick which records my normal driving just fine. So I enabled Sentry mode tonight. I thought I would test it so I went out to the car without my phone and sure enough Sentry mode activated and said recording. I waited about 10 minutes and then went back to the car and pulled the usb stick. No sentry mode recordings. What gives? Do i have to do something different.
 
TeslaCam needs to be paused (so it can properly temporarily shut down recording) so that you can remove the drive. Read the manual on TelsaCam if you don't know how to do this. If you pull the drive out without pausing it you can corupt the drive. Also if you see something you want to keep while driving, wait a few minutes before saving to file as it probably will be still trying to record that one-minute file to the buffer and will cut it off killing that minute of video and you'll lose the moment of video you wanted.

As @reheat said check the SavedClips folder.
