Where Can You View Recorded Footage (Dashcam and Sentry Mode Clips) from Your Tesla Vehicle?
You can primarily view recorded footage, such as Dashcam and Sentry Mode clips, directly on your Tesla vehicle's touchscreen when the car is in Park.
Accessing Dashcam and Sentry Mode Footage Onboard Your Tesla
To review any recorded clips from your Tesla, including those captured by the Dashcam while driving or by Sentry Mode when parked, follow these simple steps directly within your vehicle:
- Ensure Your Vehicle is in Park: For safety and to access the full functionality of the media viewer, your Tesla must be in the "Park" gear.
- Open the Dashcam Viewer: On the large touchscreen display, locate and touch the Dashcam icon. This icon is typically found within the app launcher.
- Browse Your Clips: Once the Dashcam viewer opens, you will see various tabs. These tabs organize all your recorded video clips, making it easy to find specific events. Clips are typically organized by their location and the timestamp at which they were recorded.
This method allows you to review important events, driving footage, or Sentry Mode alerts right from the comfort of your car's interior.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. | Ensure your Tesla is in Park. |
| 2. | On the touchscreen, touch the Dashcam icon located in the app launcher. |
| 3. | Navigate through the tabs to find clips, which are organized by location and timestamp. |
Important Considerations for Recording Clips
It's crucial to remember that for your Tesla to record these clips in the first place, a properly formatted USB drive must be plugged into one of the vehicle's USB ports. This USB drive acts as the storage medium for all Dashcam and Sentry Mode footage. Without a compatible and properly formatted USB drive, the vehicle will not be able to save any video clips for later viewing.
