Security Settings
NOTE: Sentry Mode requires the Battery to be at least
20% charged. If the Battery falls below 20%, Sentry
Mode turns off and the mobile app sends you a
notification.
NOTE: Power consumption may increase when Sentry
Mode is active.
NOTE: Software updates cannot be installed when
Sentry Mode is activated.
CAUTION: Do not rely on Sentry Mode to protect
Model X from all possible security threats. While it
may help deter some threats, no security system
can prevent all attacks.
CAUTION: Sentry Mode may not trigger the
security alarm in all situations involving damage
to the vehicle. The security alarm depends upon
multiple factors to be triggered and may not
detect all impacts to the vehicle or may not
trigger the alarm in all cases.
Standby, Alert, and Alarm States
When in Sentry Mode, Model X may go through three
states depending on its surroundings—Standby, Alert,
and Alarm. For vehicles manufactured after
approximately April 2018, Sentry Mode events can be
saved to a properly configured USB flash drive inserted
into one of the USB ports. For details on how to
configure a flash drive, see
Requirements for Videos and Recording on page
NOTE: Sentry Mode footage is viewable when the
vehicle is in Park with the Dashcam Viewer, see
Retrieving Footage on page
• Standby - Your vehicle automatically enters the
Standby state when you activate Sentry Mode. In the
Standby state, the cameras constantly monitor the
area surrounding Model X for possible security
threats.
• Alert - If Sentry Mode detects a threat, such as
someone leaning on, or very close to, Model X,
Sentry Mode switches to the Alert state. In the Alert
state, Sentry Mode:
◦ turns the headlights briefly on and back off again.
◦ displays a message on the touchscreen indicating
that cameras are recording the event.
◦ saves the most recent ten minutes of footage
prior of the triggered event to the USB drive (if
installed and available).
• Alarm - For major threats, Sentry Mode triggers the
Alarm state. In the Alarm state, Sentry Mode:
◦ activates the security alarm and the audio system
generates a loud and unexpected sound.
◦ sends an alert to the mobile app on phones that
are paired to Model X to inform you that the
alarm state is triggered.
◦ returns to the Standby state after 30 seconds.

◦ saves the most recent ten minutes of footage
prior to the triggered event to the USB drive (if
installed and available).
◦ for vehicles manufactured after approximately
April 2018, saves up to two minutes of event
footage to the vehicle's internal storage for
safekeeping which can be saved manually to the
USB drive (if installed and available) with the
DashCam Viewer.
NOTE: New Alarm state footage writes over older
recordings when the internal storage reaches its
limit.
Location-Based Settings
You can customize Sentry Mode to automatically
activate at specific locations where you park Model X:
• Exclude Home - When on, Sentry Mode does not
automatically activate at the location you set as
Home in your Favorites list (see
Home and Work Destinations on page
activates at any other parking location.
NOTE: To set up your Home location, touch Navigate
and hold down Home, then enter your address.
Touch Save as Home.
• Exclude Work- When on, Sentry Mode does not
automatically activate at the location you set as
Work in your Favorites list, but activates at any other
parking location. Set your Work location the same
way you set up your Home location, as previously
described.
• Exclude Favorites- When on, Sentry Mode does not
automatically activate at any location in your
Favorites list, but activates at any other parking
location.
To recognize a location listed as Home, Work, or a
Favorite, Sentry Mode requires that Model X is parked
within 32 feet (10 meters) of the location listed as a
Home, Work, or Favorite.
NOTE: Manually enabling or disabling Sentry Mode
using the icon on the touchscreen or controls in the
mobile app overrides your home, work, and favorite
exclusion preferences until the next time you drive your
vehicle.
