Tesla Model S: Viewing Video Recordings
You can view recorded footage on the touchscreen
when Model S is in Park. Touch the Dashcam icon
located in the app launcher or the Dashcam icon on the
Controls screen. Touch the menu icon in the top corner
of the screen. The tabs display a list of all video clips,
organized by location and timestamp. Pause, rewind,
fast forward, and delete video recordings as needed.
You can also navigate to Controls > Safety > Delete
Dashcam Clips to delete all dashcam and Sentry Mode
footage, including recent and saved clips.
NOTE: Dashcam recording pauses when you launch the
Viewer.
You can also view video footage by removing and
inserting the USB flash drive into a computer and
navigating to the TeslaCam or TeslaTrackMode (if
equipped) folder.
The TeslaCam folder contains three sub-folders:
- Recent Clips: When recording, Dashcam continuously
saves footage to Recent Clips in 60-minute cycles.
Footage is overwritten every hour unless you
manually save it. Four videos are recorded for each
clip, one from each camera (front, rear, left, and
right).
- Saved Clips: Contains all recordings that are saved
using Dashcam.
- Sentry Clips: Contains the last 10 minutes of footage
from all Sentry Mode events that triggered an Alert
or Alarm state. If storage space on the USB flash
drive becomes limited, the oldest Sentry Clips are
deleted to provide space for new ones. Once deleted,
you cannot retrieve them.
When the USB flash drive runs out of storage space,
video footage can no longer be saved. To prevent the
flash drive from getting full, regularly move saved videos
to another device and delete them from the flash drive.
