Isn't the point of uploading the files to do exactly that? I would've thought they'd automatically show up in your account on tesla.com since they know whose car it is. Didn't they say there would be a 7-day running buffer of the video files?
This is encouraging. FWIW, I also have AP2 MCU1, and received .12.
I tried the formatted USB as one might do in an AP2.5, and after activating sentry, it tried to store clips on the USB, but they weren't viewable. Same name, timestamp, etc. for all 3 cameras as one might have with 2.5, but the files were only 595 bytes, so obviously error when you try to play.
I'm hoping that the fact that we got these "faux" files, as well as the upload data you have, mean that they'll eventually work out true Sentry mode for AP2.0 cars.
The binary on APE unit which is responsible for creating video on APE2.5 is missing on APE2 firmware. That's the reason we do not have the video. those empty file are create by a bash script as a placeholders to actual footage. Had we had those binaries working APE2 cars would have had dashcam features as well
The MCU has nothing to do with dashcam or sentry mode. Plenty of AP2.5 cars out there with MCU1 they provide both functionalities.
Maybe someone with more detailed knowledge can chime in here, but I thought that the reason dashcam was not available on AP2 hardware was due to the absence of redundancy (primarily wiring, but maybe also processor?) that prevented it running in parallel with vehicle operation. That made me hope it would be possible for full sentry mode when the car is parked.
It seems likely there would be additional software complexities, since some code might need to be different to support the different hardware configuration - and perhaps Tesla has decided not to take that on. But I don't see why in principle it could not work to record the video locally while the car is parked.
Dashcam worked without b node in 2.5 cars before 2019.8.3. so it was the same as AP2.
MCU has nothing to do with this.

I stand corrected guys, thanks! Could this be a limitation of AP2 then?
Apparently it's only due to a lack of binaries which could be provided later. Tesla does need to implement interpolation to color correct. There is just more work to get it to AP2. When parked there is no reason Tesla can't deliver a full functioning sentry mode but I'm only knowledgeable to the extent the experts get info to the public.

Nope - just got 2019.12. I am in the UK and no mention of NoA in release notes..
I saw this tweet this morning from Elon that confirms us AP2.0 owners get FSD.

I don't think us UK folk will get any of the features from other countries any time soon - Summon from keyfob, Nav on AP, Enhance Summon, Red Light warning, to name a few.
Normally I’d say it tried to update to something else and failed. But we don’t know of anything else. Hm....
And in general it’s weird. Update traffic is way down. Few .12 rolling out and not even that many .6. Now what?
That all is US except NOA. NOA is in some EU countries for Model 3 only.
Summon via the keyfob has always been possible on the S/X in the US but now it also works on the 3. I wish keyfob summon worked in the EU as summon via the phone just doesn't work most of the time and certainly not working in parking garages.
