The latest Tesla app version 4.43.5 now brings the Dashcam Viewer for Android users – a real advancement for all Tesla owners who want to manage their Dashcam and Sentry Mode recordings directly on their smartphone.
Improved Media Management via App
With the new Dashcam Viewer, you can now conveniently view, save, or delete videos from your Tesla Dashcams and Sentry Mode on your Android device. Previously, this feature was exclusively available for iPhone users, but Tesla has decided to offer the operation cross-platform. This saves you the cumbersome downloading and recording of videos directly from the vehicle.
How does the Dashcam Viewer work?
The dashcam recordings are stored locally on the USB drive of your Tesla. The app streams these videos directly from your vehicle to your smartphone – similar to the live broadcast of Actually Smart Summon.
-
Requirements:
Your vehicle must be equipped with an MCU 2 (Intel) or higher. Older generation models, such as the Legacy Model S and Model X (2020 and older), are expected to be supported shortly. -
Connectivity:
A stable internet connection is required to use the feature. So make sure your vehicle is connected via Wi-Fi or cellular, as the connection may be limited in underground parking garages. -
Premium Connectivity:
Note that the Dashcam Viewer requires the Tesla Premium Connectivity, which is billed at $9.99 per month in the USA.
Accessing the Dashcam Viewer
Here's how you can easily use the feature:
-
Open the Tesla app and navigate to Security & Drivers > Dashcam Viewer.
-
Wait for your smartphone to connect to the vehicle.
-
Manage your videos directly via the app: You can view, save, or delete clips – all conveniently from your Android device.
Data Limits and Streaming
To avoid excessive data consumption, Tesla has also introduced streaming limits. Depending on the region, video streaming from your vehicle is limited to 15 minutes or 1 hour. This ensures that you keep your data usage under control without having to forego the benefits of the Dashcam Viewer.
Conclusion
With the introduction of the Dashcam Viewer for Android, Tesla once again raises the standard for the user-friendliness of the Tesla app. This innovation not only offers you more flexibility in managing your vehicle recordings but also saves time and makes it easier to handle important video recordings daily. Whether you want to secure your vehicle or simply document your driving moments – the new Dashcam Viewer makes it possible.
