( Requires iPhone 11+ and Tesla app 4.31.0+. A future update will extend this feature to Android users as well. )

When Sentry Mode triggers the vehicle alarm and records an event, you can instantly view a short clip of the recording on your phone. The preview videos are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be viewed by Tesla.

Please note that this feature is not expected to be available in Germany.
