Thanks for explaining the dashcam feature. Every other online tutorial seems to suggest the dash cam always recorded and overwrote old clips, but the settings on screen never made this sound accurate. Your description makes the most sense
Hey Chris, thank you for these quick tips, I've picked up some new info and refreshed some things I thought I understood. Keep them coming please, this car is full of features and we all need to keep them in mind. Cheers.
Awesome! Thank you
Is there any way to have the footage with all the different angles on one screen outside of the car? Similar to how it's shown inside the car? It seems that the USB doesn't allow this and you end up with four videos for one particular moment
The voice commands "Save Dashcam" or "Record" might work for you (depending on which software load you have)
Love your videos, short and to the point unlike others that are over 10 minutes to make one point. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
"short and to the point"
I wish I could say the same things about his ears.
Cannot see live video from sentry mode, and have it checked on in the app, both the car and the app fully updated. I am in Miami Florida. Why is this??
Very helpful thanks Chris...
Great video. I recently took delivery of my 2023 tmyp and your videos have been very helpful.
Thanks so much for the support
What drive do you use? I don't see it listed in the description
What was the dashcam that you put on your Tesla
Thank you
does sentry mode warns the hd is full?
I have sentry record mode enabled, and there was a little notification on the dashboard saying there was one security event, and when I click it, it takes me to screen it says there are no recorded events. (why did it alert me of an event to view if theres nothing to see?) I have a tesla Model Y which comes with a USB stick plugged in already.
Do they give you special hearing advantages?
great video. two questions. 1) what bigger hard drive do you recommend 2) what dash cam do you use, and do you have an install video for that
i use the sandisk 1tb ssd! Holds plenty! dash cam is tesla sentry mode!
How the heck do I access the saved dashcam clips on the car's touchscreen? I tap the dashcam icon and it only "saves" the clip, nothing comes up for me to view saved clips, and I know I have several saved clips? Have a new 2023 MYLR with most recent update. THX!
I absolutely had to click on this video after watching teslas “keep summer safe video”
Hey Chris, I have a 2022 Model 3 LR with the smaller 12v lithium battery. I was told I couldn't put in an after market dashcam, but I see you've got one. Can you please tell me how you keep power to the dashcam ..... do you use a battery backup?
Hmm I don’t. Have an aftermarket dash cam I have a radar detector. I did see people use a battery back up though. I have one on my other car. Cell link neo that connects to the dash cam.
Good tips but i was actually looking how and where to set up the storage.
Heyy , i just have a question regarding the saving of dashcam , lets say i saved a clip on monday , if i drove on Tuesday the clip will be deleted? Or it only deletes the files when the storage is full? I am a bit confused in this point . Lets say i have a large usb , whats the point of only saving 10 minutes and deleting it when i start the car again? Is it possible to briefly explain how much clips it saves and what does it do when the storage is full?
Thank you
Deleted. You gotta do it before you leave the car!
Great Tesla videos! Do you know why I'm unable to see "view live camera" on my mobile app? I only see "activate surveillance" under Security and Drivers?
Make sure you enable it on the tesla screen under security first
Great video :)
Thank you!
Hi Chris, I been following your videos and it help me a lot as a new tesla owner. The one thing I can’t figure out is to view the recorded video on the tesla app. If you know the answer, could you please make a quick video on this subject and thank you.
It's only possible when there's an event like when your car alarm goes off!
DIIIIING!!!!!!! 🛎️‼️
Question: Is the cabin camera used for sentry mode or is it just for autopilot?
Just autopilot. One day I'm sure they will allow us to see the inside with dog mode etc
What external hard drive I should buy which is enough to use, and how much is the cost? Thank you
Check the accesories video! I recommend an ssd
Why doesn't Tesla cams record sound ?
I've owned my M3 for about a year now and still love your tips and trick video on Teslas. Also quick note, I notice that Sentry mode drain about 1% of battery every hour for me.
Yeah that’s about right! Thanks so much Brandon
can i schedule sentry mode to turn on for a given time frame like between 11pm and 7am? I park on city streets
you cant but you can set a reminder and turn on/off sentry mode
Hi Chris, I am a new owner of Tesla model Y, I try backing in my garage but need another family member staying at the back while backing in . Do you know how do I activate the backing in parking sensor on model Y. Thanks
The new teslas don’t have those sensors yet! They should release an update that uses the cameras but not yet!
The sentry mode drains the battery crazy fast so I always disable it to avoid frequent charging, today someone scratched on my side doors with a key seems like and I didn’t capture it. Pros and cons.
There should be option on the Tesla-App to enable or disable the dashcam-live-view without disabling the sentry-mode. The “live view” drains the battery 🪫 very quickly; Tesla should make it easy to enabling or disabling from its the App.
In the future, they should have have a separate dedicated battery 🔋that powers the sentry mode live viewing cameras and systems instead of using the only main battery the Tesla has.
I got a 2018 Model 3. I just want to point out that there is no USB port in the glove compartment for the 2018. The USB drive needs to be installed into one of the two USB ports located in the front compartment of the center console.
I just picked up my car yesterday 😊. I plan on putting a dark tint on the windows. Does anyone know if this will compromise the effectiveness of the sentry mode? I realize the cameras are mounted externally, but are the sensors that trigger them inside of the cabin? I just wanna make sure that I'm not gonna mess anything up.
It will NOT as cameras work on the outside. My tint is SUPER dark. check out my tint videos
I think dashcam is crucial these days. I really hope all cars have or at least have an option to have an dashcam. sick of putting on using after market one. :(
Same
Is there any way to have the footage with all the different angles on one screen outside of the car? Similar to how it's shown inside the car? It seems that the USB doesn't allow this and you end up with four videos for one particular moment
Can’t! You have to choose the camera to see that view
@@EverydayChris ugh! Me no likey:(
Guess I have to get a dashcam and keep it focused on the screen to get it done lol
Are there any fees to use Sentry mode / dash cam? Does the Tesla also come with a built in security alarm? Is that free or is there a fee for this?
All free. To use the feature where you can see the cameras remotely on your phone requires the premium subscription
Any chance we can set it to record interior cam?
You can view it now on the app while sentry mode is active but can’t record it.
I recently just picked up my M3LR and for some reason my Tesla records my whole trip from work all the way home. It records for about 45 mins and it’s saved. Is this something new for the 2023 models?
It usually saves the last trip and overwrites it so normal!
My ONLY disappointment with my Model 3 is that I cannot chose "USB" as my default music source, because unless Sentry Mode is left on, the USB data port will shut down and the music will default back to streaming or whatever. I prefer to listen to my own favorites on USB as opposed to having to skip through all the junk I don't want on one of the streaming channels. Having to manually re-start USB for my music each day is a drag. So I've been leaving Sentry mode on, but that's not a great solution, either.
Ah yeah. I just use the Bluetooth.
@@EverydayChris I've since found a reasonable solution. Not ideal, but good enough for now. Just issue the voice command "USB" from the steering wheel after starting the Tesla and the music on the USB port will begin playing again, right where it left off. Even if the car has been in "sleep" mode.
What about turning on the recorder to capture live action, not a past event? For instance, following a suspicious car?
Yah it captures the whole drive so you can view the footage back as long as you don't start another drive
It captures the whole drive as long as I have dashcam set to . . . what?@@EverydayChris
How come I set exclude home for sentry mode but it still recording
There's a bug I believe. Mine is doing the same thing
hii
I actually want to buy a tesla on lease but i am confused of how many miles should i choose, can you please suggest according to your experience?
The average person drives 12k miles a year, I would recommend you estimate based on your most traveled places during the week from your home. This x 12mo should give you a rough estimate.
Yeah all depends. We did 25k in a year which is a lot
Ohkk... Thank you so much... Means alot
what brand-type of memory stick do you use
Sandisk ssd
thanks Chris…1 more question what size do you have? 500gb or 1 tb?
I got the 1tb option! It’s in my accessories video the first one!
Can I see the cameras in my phone while my son is driving.?
You cannot only when parked with sentry mode on
Yes, but how do I bring up footage recorded...?
Press camera icon in park
The newer model Y has USB 3.0. So much 2 and 3yr old info is out there. What is the current specs for the glovebox USB port. I'm shopping for a SSD, but want to know what Tesla really needs as a minimum? Especially on the read rate. Yes, the Sandisk external SSD has a crazy 1000Mbit/sec transfer rate, but micro sdcards can have a wimpy 100Mbit/sec transfer rate. What is the transfer rate of the current flash stick included with the 2023 MY? And also, practically speaking, what sizes are overkill? Like can you actually fill up a 1TB, or even a 500GB drive? Can someone testify to the fact that with occasional honking and people walking around your car in a parking lot that all the real world saved videos after a year don't even amount to 25GB? Remember, it's not a modern dashcam overwriting a filled up file system.
2:57 "to view the footage just click on the dash cam button" only when the car is in parking mode
You need to upgrade your audio. Video is great, but if you were to get great audio, you'd be in the very top level of YT quality. You can do it easily.
Do Dashcam use a lot of power ?
depends if there's lots of motion
Great. Subbed
Why is this so difficult to understand? What “dashcam button”?
Has anyone else has recent issues viewing their Tesla sentry mode (360 option) from the app? I tried restarting and updating the app. Help
Hmm restart car?
@@EverydayChris yeah I did under services tab power off option, made sure app was updated and car software was updated… idk what else to do, have researched and made sure my VIEW CAMERA ON APP option is turned on… it’s so odd. I use to be able to and suddenly one day I tried but could not.
@@911awakening 2 finger reset not power off!
If a coyote runs across the road and I want to save that video, what do I do? Press the horn? Will that save the last 10 minutes of footage?
yes honk the horn or press the dash can button on the screen!
Dashcam button on the screen -- Is that the little camera eye icon on the main screen, or is it the "recording" button within the safety page? @@EverydayChris
Toyota is the next Sears.
You fail to mention you need premium connectivity to use sentry mode
Why can’t I see anything
I guess in Portugal this is illegal on public roads, however I guess it is "dead law" and nobody check it.
Any Portuguese lawyer here who now more on that?
The image quality of the Tesla cameras is rubbish. Don’t rely on it to record detailed essential information, such as number plates because it doesn’t. The side cameras wash out whenever sunlight hits them and you will see when that happens when a warning shows up on the screen. My advice is that you install a two channel front/rear camera and use the Tesla cameras as backup.
Can you recommend a camera? Oh BTW I read somewhere higher spec cameras are coming to Tesla cars.
@@farmerfarmerer3847 any decent dashcam has better resolution than the cheap crap Tesla fitted into its cars. I’ve had many dashcams on many cars over the years and even the cheapest 1080p from 10 years ago produced better results. You dont need the most expensive to get clear images (must have good resolution at night especially when raining).
There's no way in hell I'm putting my Tesla to sleep at work. Lots of people and co-workers come and go at our parking lot and the last thing I need is to have my Tesla not record if someone hit it with their vehicle.
I don’t think my Tesla came with a usb drive
ask them should be in glove box
Teslas are currently the creepiest cars on the road.
Bro, you have to stop with the annoying ding sounds….
Gonna do it more and tag you
Just don't watch then
It's purpose is to capture your attention; and it seems to have done exactly that
That's 😂@@tisasrikam8966
first!
Nice!
I have a 2019 model S. It is still under warranty but the dashcam doesn't work. Tesla cannot fix it and ignore me. Do not buy Tesla
Totally not helpful to me. Significant questions not addressed.
which questions? id love to help
