How to Use Sentry Mode (Without a
USB Flash Drive)
When Sentry mode is enabled and a security event is
detected but without a USB drive plugged into a USB port,
your vehicle alerts you through the mobile app, without any
camera recordings.
Sentry Mode Settings
• Exclude specific locations
In Controls > Safety > Sentry Mode, you can determine if
you want Sentry Mode to not enable in certain locations
(see
Home, Work, and Favorite Destinations on page 146
for more information):
◦
Exclude Home: Sentry Mode does not automatically
enable at the location set as Home in your Favorites
list.
◦
Exclude Work: Sentry Mode does not automatically
enable at the location set as Work in your Favorites list.
◦
Exclude Favorites: Sentry Mode does not automatically
enable at any location in your Favorites list.
NOTE: To recognize a location listed as Home, Work, or
a Favorite, Model Y must be parked within
approximately
500 meters of the saved location.
To set up your Home or Work location, touch Navigate >
Set Home/Set Work. To set up a Favorite, touch the star
when viewing an address on the map. Manually turning
Sentry Mode on or off using the touchscreen or the
mobile app overrides your Home, Work, or Favorite
exclusion preferences until your next drive.

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 Y.
When Sentry Mode is enabled, use the mobile app to
remotely view the area surrounding Model Y 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 Y
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 Y is equipped with a pedestrian warning speaker
(see Pedestrian Warning System on page 93), 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 135 for more information. This feature
is not supported in vehicles with Autopilot computer 2.0
or 2.5. Touch Controls > Software and look at 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.
NOTE: Video quality can vary depending on network
connectivity. No audio is captured.
NOTE: The live camera feed is fully encrypted and cannot
be accessed by Tesla.
See Viewing Video Recordings on page 132 for more
information on viewing Sentry Mode footage.
NOTE: When the internal storage reaches full capacity, new
recordings overwrite the older recordings.
