do you really need an installer?!Cameras which miss a second every minute, thereby making them unreliable for capturing incidents when you need them to. As I found out the first time I needed video.
Huge disappointment.
I’ve had a dashcam in my cars for 10 years and TeslaCam is not as good as an £80 Mobius dashcam.
Anyway, can anyone help with the original question, please?
I want someone experienced with Teslas as I’ve heard stories of dashcams being installed incorrectly and it invalidating Tesla warranties. I feel it’s a mistake to assume that Teslas are the same as other cars.do you really need an installer?!
I did not realize there is an issue with dash cam on model S. good look in your searches, but basically any car electrician would do that
You just use the 12 V auxilliary plug, so no connection change. Very simple to instal.I want someone experienced with Teslas as I’ve heard stories of dashcams being installed incorrectly and it invalidating Tesla warranties. I feel it’s a mistake to assume that Teslas are the same as other cars.
The big issue with the Tesla cam is that recording is saved ONLY if you click on the dascam button or use your horn.Tesla forum may literally be the worst place to ask that question given that they come pre-installed with 6 cameras which is enough for 99% of people
but dash cam IS running all the time. And it saves video after the press of the button. Like with any other 3rd party dash cam.The big issue with the Tesla cam is that recording is saved ONLY if you click on the dascam button or use your horn.
- A dashcam should be running ALL THE TIME when driving.
The 6 cameras video recording is storing sequentially for few seconds alternatively one camera at the time,
so you miss a lot of recording when looking at the resuting video recorded.
- A dashcam should be storing each camera (front and rear) individually all the time without interruption.
Each recording segment (one minute in general) should overlap the previous one.
Very often the expected Tesla recording is missing.
- As mentionned above, a dashcam should be running ALL THE TIME when driving.
It misses a second or two every minute though. It seems there is a lag when the recording starts.but dash cam IS running all the time. And it saves video after the press of the button. Like with any other 3rd party dash cam.
all of them overwrite old clips unless you save them specifically. Once you press save - it saves all camera videos.
