After accidents happen, police are required to draft a report to determine the driver that was at fault. The addition of the in-car viewer allows owners to view clips quickly and effectively in the instance of an accident or act of vandalism. To delete a video, tap the trash icon in the bottom right corner of the video player. Play, pause, or scroll by using the video controls at the bottom of the player. To select video from a particular camera, tap the associated thumbnail marked Front, Rear, Left or Right. Select a clip or event to play the corresponding video. For additional filtering options, tap the “Dashcam” or “Sentry” tabs. Each video is organized by location, date and thumbnail for easy access. To view saved clips and events stored on your USB drive, tap the Menu icon in the upper left corner of the viewer. If the vehicle is in DRIVE, you will continue to save a clip by tapping the icon. To launch, tap the Dashcam icon in the status bar and select “Launch Viewer” while the vehicle is in PARK. Watch saved Dashcam clips or Sentry Mode events from the touchscreen with the Dashcam Viewer. The release notes for Tesla’s Dashcam Viewer feature state: Still, after contacted Musk on Twitter in March 2020, the Tesla CEO stated he would work with his team to determine the likelihood of a viewer being available to owners. Tesla owners have requested the feature for some time. Tesla released the Dashcam viewer to members of the Early Access Program on April 3. I suspect this is limited to MCU2/model3 but have no mcu1 to test. You get to select from list of sentry, dashcam or both.

When parked you press the camera icon to select the player. The old system was comprised of either watching the clips that were stored on a USB drive or internal hard drive on a computer or buying third party products that allowed for viewing on a smartphone. This allows owners to view clips within the vehicle, an improvement from the past system of watching videos recorded by the car. Touching the icon will start the player and bring up a list of both Sentry Mode footage and Dashcam clips. A camera icon will be available on the dash screen. The vehicle must be in the PARK setting to access the viewer.
