Since first rolling out Sentry Mode several years ago, Tesla has made constant improvements to the feature.

Some of the latest improvements have included being able to view live cameras, reducing the headlights to a pulse, turning off Sentry Mode sounds, adjusting the video clip length and more.

However, it seems like we may be in for one of the biggest Sentry Mode improvements since the feature was introduced back in 2019.

The Tesla app will not only send you notifications of a potential intrusion when Sentry Mode is active but will also show you a video of the incident.

Although the feature isn’t live yet, there is now underlying code in the app to support the feature and Tesla officially announced it on X. It looks like the feature may be ready to go and just needs to be remotely enabled by Tesla.

You’ll be able to view Sentry Mode recording previews by navigating to the Security & Drivers section of the app and tapping on “Sentry Mode Recording Previews.”

Tesla makes it clear that the entire event won’t be included, but instead a shorter preview clip, presumably when the incident occurred.

Tesla is clear to say that preview videos are end-to-end encrypted and can’t be accessed by Tesla.

Although Sentry Mode captures video from various cameras, it does not include video from the cabin camera, making privacy less of an issue. Tesla says that this feature’s availability will vary by country.
