Many hours of recording (depending on memory size).Front and rear recording (Tesla covers the front and both sides and rear).Features currently lacking in the Tesla dashcam that are available in high-end dashcams like the BlackVue 900X-2CH: While this integrated option from Tesla is a welcome addition, the best quality will come from the installation of your own dashcam cameras. Sentry events are stored in the Sentr圜lips folder. This consumes about 250W costing about 1 mile of range per hour. Sentry mode keeps the cameras and AP processor powered up to record events. This moves 40 1-minute files from the RecentClips folder to the SavedClips folder (i.e. An option is available to save the last 10 minutes by tapping the dashcam icon on the display. The recording is done to your own USB flash drive, up to 1 hour in 1-minute segments while driving.

Here’s a frame in the full summer sun at noon, before and after correction using Photoshop. It can be compensated after the fact with increased brightness and contrast, along with some color correction in video editing software. This is likely the optical effects of the light going through the windshield glass. Looking at the Tesla dashcam video, the side and rear cameras look good, but the front camera is quite dim with a greenish cast. Most third party dashcams start at 1920×1080 resolution at 60 fps (1080p). This makes it somewhat jittery when viewed on most video devices that require conversion to 30 or 60 fps. Tesla also uses an odd frame rate of 36 fps.

At this resolution, a license plate can only be read when the car in front is about 8 feet or less in front of you. This is at 1280 x 960 pixels, a fairly low resolution when compared with most dashcam alternatives. With newer cars, four cameras are used for recording. Those with MCU1 and have upgraded to the HW3.0 AP processor get 3 channels of the dashcam, but the quality is poor, as MCU1 does not have the needed power to provide good video. Older vehicles do not get the dashcam feature, due to hardware limitations of the MCU and AP processor. Tesla provides some basic dashcam like abilities for vehicles with HW2.5 or later (vehicles built after July 31, 2017).
Ok, did you identify the silver car as a new Model 3 without a license plate? In other tests, even at 70 mph, the dashcam pictures hold up quite well.
This last set of images were taken while the car was moving at 25 mph. See below for more about polarizing filters. We normally use a polarizing filter to reduce glare but removed them for these tests.
We get some vehicle glare, which is typical of all dashcams. The manufacturer’s specs claim they cover the same wide-angle, which does not appear to be true. The clarity of the A119 1440p image is very close to the DR900 2160p front camera, but the DR900 is capturing a wider view requiring more pixels. The colors in the DR900 appear a bit more natural to us. We also carefully picked the images from each camera to be matched within one video frame time-wise. We did brighten the A119 image slightly to give all three images a similar brightness but otherwise did no other modifications. You can click on the image above to see a larger view (but 50% of actual size due to how large the image is).
