Tesla recently improved its Dashcam attribute by enabling vehicles from their side cameras, ultimately providing near video surveillance capacities.

The over-the-air software update for Model S, Model X, and Model 3 cars with Autopilot 2.5 hardware was part of a bigger release that also contained Tesla’s Sentry Mode: a security feature which also leverages the vehicle’s side cameras for detection of intrusion or potential act of vandalism.

“Dashcam can now record and store video footage s side cameras along with the camera that is that is narrow. As usual, the Dashcam icon will be shown in the status bar with a red dot. Tap the icon to save 10-minute video clips or press and hold to pause recording. ” notes Tesla in its v9.0 release notes.

A Model 3 owner posted a Tesla Dashcam video to Youtube which provides a good look on the degree of coverage a vehicle’s narrow front-facing camera and side cameras are able to supply.

Accidents or close encounters which take place in a Tesla’s spots are captured in comprehensive detail, although without noise. Together with video files from directly in front of the car and one can see that Model S, Model X and Model 3 owners who opt to utilize the vehicle’s native dash cam feature are provided a level of coverage beyond popular, aftermarket Tesla dashcam solutions.

An individual can expect future iterations of Tesla’s Dashcam attribute to include video recording. Tesla Autopilot is able to leverage a total of eight encircle cameras to provide 360 degrees of visibility around a car.

Here’another evaluation of Tesla Dashcam with side camera support.
