Set Camera-Based Detection
When Camera-Based Detection is enabled, Sentry
Mode uses the vehicle’s external cameras in addition
to vehicle sensors to detect a security event while
parked. If disabled, your vehicle only saves clips to
the USB drive if a physical threat is detected. To
adjust, touch
Controls > Safety > Sentry Mode >
Camera-Based Detection.

View Live Camera
NOTE: View Live Camera requires premium
connectivity and version 4.2.1 (or newer) of the Tesla
mobile app installed on a phone that has been paired
as a key to
Model X.
When Sentry Mode is enabled, use the mobile app to
remotely view the area surrounding Model X as seen
through the exterior cameras. To enable, touch
Controls > Safety > Sentry Mode > View Live Camera
via Mobile App on the touchscreen to see what
Sentry Mode records in real-time. Ensure there are no
occupants in the vehicle and all doors are locked.
Then, on the mobile app, navigate to
Safety > Sentry
Mode > View Live Camera.
When View Live Camera is actively in use, Model X
periodically flashes its exterior lights and displays a
message on the touchscreen to notify others that the
area surrounding the vehicle is being viewed through
the cameras.
View Live Camera is limited to approximately one
hour (or 15 minutes for some regions) of cumulative
usage per day.
If Model X is equipped with a pedestrian warning
speaker (see Pedestrian Warning System on page
86), you can press and hold the microphone button
on the mobile app to transmit your voice through this
speaker.
You can also enable Dog Mode at the same time and
switch the live camera view to see through the
interior camera on the mobile app. See
Keep Climate
On, Dog, and Camp on page 140 for more
information. This feature is not supported in vehicles
with Autopilot computer 2.0 or 2.5. Touch
Controls >
Service > Autopilot computer to find out which
computer your vehicle has.
NOTE: If Dog and Sentry are enabled at the same
time, Sentry defaults to Disable Sentry Sounds to
protect your pet.

connectivity. No audio is captured.
NOTE: The live camera feed is fully encrypted and
cannot be accessed by Tesla.
