As promised, Tesla on Wednesday night began rolling out a pair of new features the company has been teasing for a short while. Of particular interest is a new safety-oriented feature dubbed Sentry Mode. As the name suggests, Sentry Mode allows users to record and view 360 degree video of their car when a serious incident like a break-in or an attempted theft occurs.
As Tesla describes it, Sentry Mode remains in a “standby” state until a camera or sensor detects a potential threat. “If a minimal threat is detected,” Tesla notes in a blog post, “such as someone leaning on a car, Sentry Mode switches to an ‘Alert’ state and displays a message on the touchscreen warning that its cameras are recording.”
