Standby, Alert, and Alarm States
While in Sentry Mode, Model X may shift
through three states as a response to its
surroundings—Standby, Alert, and Alarm:
• Standby. Model X is automatically “on
standby” when you activate Sentry Mode.
The cameras constantly monitor the
surrounding area for possible security
threats.
• Alert. If Sentry Mode detects a possible
threat, such as someone very close to, or
leaning on, Model X, Sentry Mode
switches to the Alert state, where:
◦
Headlights briefly flicker.
◦
The touchscreen displays a message
indicating that cameras are recording.
◦
Sentry Mode saves the most recent 10
minutes of footage prior to the
triggered event to the USB flash drive
(if available and installed).
• Alarm. For major threats, Sentry Mode:
◦
Activates the security alarm and the
audio system generates a loud and
unexpected sound.
◦
Sends an alert to the mobile app on
phones that are paired to Model X to
inform you that the alarm state is
triggered.
◦
Saves the most recent 10 minutes of
footage prior to the triggered event
to the USB flash drive (if available and
installed).
◦
Returns to the Standby state after 30
seconds.
CAUTION:
Sentry Mode may not
activate the security alarm in all
situations involving damage to the
vehicle. Sentry Mode uses many
factors to determine whether to
activate the security alarm—all
impacts may not be detected and
the alarm may not activate in all
situations.
NOTE:
When the internal storage reaches full
capacity, new recordings from Alert and
Alarm events overwrite the older recordings.
Sentry Mode - View Live Camera
NOTE:
View Live Camera
requires premium
connectivity. It also requires that version 4.2.1
(or newer) of the Tesla mobile app is installed
on a phone that has been paired as a key to
Model X.
When Sentry Mode is enabled, you can use
the mobile app to remotely view the area
surrounding Model X as seen through the
exterior cameras.
To enable, touch

the Model X touchscreen. Once enabled,
ensure there are no occupants in the vehicle
and all doors are closed. Then, on the Tesla
mobile app, go to

to see a live video
feed of your vehicle’s surroundings.
In addition, if Model X is equipped with a
pedestrian warning speaker (see

and hold the microphone button on the
mobile app to transmit your voice through
this speaker.
When
View Live Camera
is actively being
used, Model X may periodically flash its
exterior lights and display 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.
NOTE:
Video and audio quality can vary
depending on network connectivity.
NOTE:
The live camera feed is fully encrypted
and cannot be accessed by Tesla.
