Tesla debuts Sentry Mode Live Camera Entrance mode for iOS app

Tesla has offered a Sentry mode — aka its version of a dash cam — for a at what time now, and it’s proven to be pretty popular with Tesla owners. More recently, the company promised that owners would be able to get a live view of their vehicle’s cameras in Sentry Mode via the Tesla app, and now, according to a relate Wednesday by Electrek, that’s happening — only there’s a catch.

There’s always a bag, right? In this case, this new Sentry Mode Live Camera Entrance feature is being offered as part of the Premium Connectivity package for a $10-per-month subscription fee. Premium Connectivity debuted back in 2018 and allows access to useful features like live traffic view, satellite view maps and music and video streaming. It also provides access to less useful things like “Caraoke.”

The commence of Sentry Mode Live Camera Access comes as part of a software update to version 2021368. Tesla says the video feed is secured via end-to-end encryption and that Tesla itself can’t access the footage.

As of publication, this feature is only available to iOS users of the Tesla app, but we strongly suspect that you Android users won’t be left out in the cold for long.
