Sentry Mode viewing program

[Pringle]

Hi all,

This is my first post on the forum. So we currently own a M3 from 2020 and noticed an unusual mark on the rear bumper. We have a lot of sentry mode footage to go through so iIopted to take the USB out and plug it into my PC. Does anyone have a recommendation for programs to use to view sentry mode footage on Windows 10 that actually works in 2021?

I have so far used these without any luck;
Sentry Keeper
Tesla cam Viewer
Tesla Cam (windows store)
TCAM (Windows Store)
Sentry Cam (Website)

Hi @Pringle, did you try VLC? It plays pretty much everything.

I know you can use VLC to view the individual files. I'm looking for a program that will compile them all together, like the in built Tesla Daschcam viewer as there's way too many video files

I have tried that but unfortunately had issues. It would just crash as soon as I selected a video. I will attempt again and see if I can get it working.

i use tesla cam viewer, which you appear to have on your list. it displays all camera angles for every event.

if all of these apps are failing, there may be something wrong with your footage. what exactly is the problem with viewing them?

I see, you want all files merged into one file, like all rear facing vids? I use Wondershare UniConverter. You just drag them into the converter and hit merge. I've done this plenty of times just because you can't tell by looking at one or two separate files for specific footage. Just make sure you drag them over in date/time sequence.

TeslaCam Viewer II is the only installable program I can get working as well, and I've been in IT for 30 years. Not much of a working selection out there. No one wants to look at files individually in VLC, or I couldn't imagine doing that myself at least...

Why can't you just queue up all the files in a playlist and pretend it's all as one? Or am I missing what the intended purpose is here?

A cam program is going to show you all 4 cameras synced up just as you would see on the viewer in your Tesla.

Select a video file in the Finder then tap the spacebar to view it with quick-look. You can scrub quickly through the video, or click around to sample a few parts. Then you can tap down-arrow to immediately quick-look another file. (The delete key should also work, but I usually look through a folder then delete it.)

Or double click a file to open it in the QuickTime viewer, but this takes more steps to go through a bunch of files.

To answer the question about intended purpose, my purpose is to look through the videos as quickly as possible.

There's a web based viewer somewhere out there.

If you select all the files you want to view (e.g. all Fronts) and drag them to VLC, it will play them stitched together.
