Viewing recorded Sentry videos remotely

[amdyhou]

Is there any way in which I can remotely view recorded Sentry video on my iPhone (whilst the USB remains plugged in the car)? Please note I am aware that you can remotely view the Sentry in real-time… I wish to remotely view clips which have been recorded to the USB. I suspect not, but thanks in advance!

I have a Blackvue dashcam that can be remotely accessed from the cloud but the Tesla Sentry dashcam doesn't provide this feature.
This is a pity because if you receive an alert you cannot find what may have triggered the alarm.

I have seen people posting here that they used a small computer that pretends to be a flash drive to store their Sentry videos. These can be accessed via WiFi.

For a while I used a Wireless USB drive, the SanDisk Connect for this purpose, the problem was that the sustained write speeds and the life of the WiFi battery needed more predictability than my driving habits provided. The files were not always there or were corrupt due to access speed. The USB port turns off when the car is off so it required waking the battery powered stick to turn on the WiFi. If I forgot to do it and was inside I had to go out to the car, so why not just use a regular stick that I could retrieve from the car when I went out. I do also have a USB Camera Adapter for iPhone so I can plug the USB stick into my phone to retrieve videos to upload.

Thank you all for your experiences... It does seem that there isn’t a trouble-free way of viewing the clips remotely.

I also am trying to find a way to view remote feeds from Tesla app, or from other connected apps. Anybody have any clue?

I'm building a solution for this - if anyone is keen to collaborate (it's an open source project but forum rules don't allow me to post) then reach out.
