Not as far as I can tell. It’s not that simple.

When a real incident occurs I want every frame it can get before and after. It might catch a plate or a face or something.
The feature is not silly. Your request to break it is.
They added the option to exclude home for those that want it on all the time but allow shutting it off at home for a reason.
And then what happens if that person that walked 2 or 3 feet from the car threw an egg at your paint, or threw something at the car, - not enough to set off the alarm. You'd complain that Sentry mode didn't work!
Tesla can't win..
I pulled my USB at the scene of the incident and retrieve with the police officer laptop! I haven’t tried “ Sentryview,” since my car is at shop!And then what happens if that person that walked 2 or 3 feet from the car threw an egg at your paint, or threw something at the car, - not enough to set off the alarm.

That said, there should be a file viewer in the car for Sentry/Dashcam. The idea of being able to provide instant evidence to cops etc is fantastic.

I got the black sheep!I’m amazed a police officer would let anyone plug a foreign device into their system. I can’t imagine that’s policy. At all.

Well, you did complain it was going off in your own home.
Some of us bought our cars to be more green and not just waste energy on silly stuff.
Also just because the electricity is free doesn't me the added charge cycles are free to you.
Keep in mind that when Sentry is on, a lot of the car is on with it !! Which is why it uses so much juice.
I only use Sentry Mode when it's really needed. That's how it's currently designed.
Why not exclude home?
There are much better security solutions for home, that are more effective, cheap and less waste.
What do you expect it to do different? Then you'll complain it missed something critical.
You only examine the clips if there was a problem. Bigger drive?
So I just spent about an hour tonight going through each one of the over *150* individual clips that were recorded by my sentry mode over just the last 5 days.
After painstakingly clicking on every single center, right, and left video for every single event recorded, I found exactly *zero* instances of anything even remotely resembling a valid reason for recording.
75% of the clips showed nothing more than a car driving by or a person walking past my car, or even just the *reflection* of a car driving by in the shop window in front of my parking spot...
The other 25% showed literally nothing happening at all. I don’t even know what could have triggered the system in the first place.
As this system is currently functioning, this is virtually useless. It is the boy who cries wolf 1000 times over. There is no way in hell im going to keep pulling my USB out of the car, taking it inside, plugging it into my computer, and tediously spending minutes or hours tediously scrubbing through dozens of clips when they are always bullsh*t.
This extreme sensitivity needs to be addressed.
Of course, when something bad does happen, those random recorded moments right before when the perp is driving past checking out cars, can be crucial in IDing.
Car keeps activating sentry mode repeatedly when anyone simply walks within 2-3 feet of the car. I keep activating it in my garage just by walking past it to go to the door. As a result, it fills up my USB with dozens and dozens of useless clips.
I agree 100%. I have a 256GB drive, but that doesn't matter. It's atill annoying to see "78 events occured" when you get in your car. I have a 256GB drive ao I'm not worried about space but it's annoying to have to sit there and delete all those vids.
