When you have a storage device setup is the TeslaCam/Sentry mode ALWAYS recording? I was expecting that the dash cam would be writing clips to the "RecentClips" directory and constantly overwriting them only when the car was on, and then any time I manually pushed the "save" icon it would save the last 10 minutes over to the "SaveClips" directory where it won't get overwritten.
Then separately I was expecting Sentry mode to write clips to its own directory when it detected motion while the car was parked.
It seems like mine is behaving kind of strange. I setup Sentry mode and tested it in my garage just by walking by the car and it saved a few clips to the "SaveClips" directory without telling me it did anything (I only saw them when I removed the storage device from the car and reviewed it on my computer). I guess I was expecting it to write to a different directory so I would know the clips were from Sentry mode and not just ones I saved during driving.
Then, separately, it seems that the Teslacam/dash cam functionality is constantly recording to the "RecentClips" directory, even when the car is parked in my garage and charging. I just went out to the car and removed the storage device and it has a ton of clips in the "RecentClips" directory that are just totally black since the light in the garage was off. Shouldn't the dash cam portion turn off when the car is off and then only record things when Sentry mode detects motion?
I'm a bit confused on why Sentry mode wrote files into the SavedClips directory without notifying me (and why it doesn't have its own directory), and also why it seems like the RecentClips are constantly being written even when the car is off. What am I doing wrong here?
