The sentry mode in Tesla is intended to provide its electric vehicles an extra layer of protection compared to other cars. This feature allows Tesla owners to continuously monitor the environment around the Tesla vehicle when it is locked and parked. It uses the car’s external cameras to detect potential threats and record incidents around the car. Whenever any suspicious activity is detected, your vehicle will react depending on the severity of the danger.
The Tesla sentry mode gathers all the evidence in case of any damage by recording the surroundings and keeps the vehicle’s camera and computer powered on. When sentry mode records movements around the car, it does not send any notification, but if it detects anything doubtful, then it will.
The sentry mode on Tesla comes with the Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y. It works with a vehicle’s built-in cameras and proximity sensors activated to record the events near the car. Sentry mode works like a home alarm system. Whenever suspicious activity is detected in the 360-degree area, it will notify the Tesla owners by sounding an alarm, pulsing the headlights, displaying a message on the touchscreen to inform individuals outside the car that the camera is recording, alerting you via the mobile app, and save footage of the event via USB (If inserted). Still, the footage will only be saved from a few minutes before a perceived threat.
Also, Dashcam should be enabled for sentry mode to work. You can easily allow the Dashcam by navigating to controls > Safety> Dashcam.
To set up Sentry mode, you first need to insert a compatible USB drive because, in Tesla, some features require a proper USB format drive inserted in your vehicle’s USB port to work, such as Dashcam, Tesla Track mode, and Sentry mode. However, not all Teslas have data-compatible USB ports, so you should use the glove box. The USB is where the dashcam and other recordings are stored, and you can also use another USB stick or hard drive for greater storage capacity.
Moreover, Tesla recommends using a high-quality USB drive to record and play the sentry videos smoothly. Once the storage is full, the new recordings will automatically overwrite the old videos. You must save your desired footage to view it; otherwise, it will be deleted and overwritten.
Tesla sentry mode is off by default; it needs to be manually activated. Follow the steps below to easily enable sentry mode in Tesla.
The sentry mode live access lets one view the vehicle camera in real time via the mobile app. Still, this feature requires Tesla owners to have the Tesla’s premium connectivity. When you use the live camera, your vehicle will flash its exterior lights and display a notification on a touchscreen to notify others that the area’s surroundings are being viewed through cameras. To enable the view live camera feature, Safety > Sentry mode > View Live Camera in the Tesla app. However, the live camera access is limited to around 1 hour or 15 minutes in some regions. Meanwhile, live access to the sentry mode is widely available.
Sentry mode needs to be on even if you are not in the car, so it requires extra power to run the feature. However, the battery consumption depends upon the recorded events. According to our resources, Tesla loses 1% of its battery charge every 2-3 hours when sentry mode is activated. But, the actual battery consumption depends upon the vehicle’s hardware.
Tesla’s sentry mode consumes a lot of energy and can also affect the battery life. Therefore, it is better to use this feature only when needed. Also, do not leave your vehicle parked for long, as sentry mode will quickly drain the battery.
Sentry mode allows you to customize the settings to meet the user’s preferences and requirements. You can also arrange the settings for specific locations. Below, we have mentioned the available features you can play around with.
Q: Does sentry mode share recordings with Tesla that are captured on my vehicle?
A: To protect the user’s privacy, Tesla has fully encrypted the camera feed and does not share any recordings with Tesla or anyone else.
Q: Are there any legal aspects and privacy concerns about using sentry mode?
A: Yes, Tesla’s sentry mode raises many privacy concerns because it can invade the privacy of passersby who are being recorded without their permission and knowledge. Therefore, there are legal regulations in some countries that limit the use of this feature.
Q: Which mobile phone does Tesla sentry mode send notifications?
A: Currently, the sentry mode video notifications are limited to iPhone and iPad, but it will likely bring support to Android in the future.
