It’s done ! Tesla finally offers the possibility of remotely viewing the video streams of the dashcams on board its cars. We explain how to activate it.
After installing Tesla’s big year-end update, software version 2021.44.25, we were pleasantly surprised to notice that a new feature was available. The latter allows the cameras to be viewed remotely, when sentry mode is activated.
How to activate this function?
The first thing is to update your Tesla. As a reminder, this function is available on most models, including Model 3 and Model Y. The update is carried out via Wi-Fi, either by sharing your smartphone connection, or by connecting to a Wi-Fi. Private or public fi.
Once the update is complete, go to the settings, then to Security> Dashcam, and activate the option View the camera live on the mobile app.
Then go to the Tesla app, in Security. To access the function, remember to activate the mode Sentinel. Just click on View the video stream, you will then have access to the four live video streams. The definition is low, you can activate the horn or the turn signals remotely.
