To avoid having a cord hanging down the wall, I relied on the included stand and simply stuck Sentri on a table. It would look a little weird to mount this thing to a wall, though, since it has to be connected to its power adapter to function properly. It's made of white and gray plastic and has a built-in stand for sticking your Sentri on a flat surface - and slots for mounting it to a wall. Specifically, Sentri is a 10-inch tall by 10-inch wide tabletesque device with a 120-degree camera at the top and a smaller, banner-style touchscreen display in the middle (think older-gen iPhones that had a lot of "dead space" above and below the display). Yes, Sentri looks neat and it works fairly well, but I'd stick with something a bit more streamlined for home security. Security systems like Icontrol's Piper Classic and Piper NV are also equipped with environmental sensors and other advanced features, but their sleek aesthetics err on the side of discretion, rather than Sentri's comparatively clunky tablet touchscreen it's the kind of device that could be more of a beacon for potential intruders than a true deterrent. The problem is that even though Sentri boasts a unique design, the pricey touchscreen tablet display doesn't actually add much value. No app required (although yes, it has one).

The touchscreen doesn't have full tablet functionality - you can't browse the internet or download your favorite app - but it does present basic security and environmental details in an entirely new way. From there we extrapolated this figure into seconds, and determined that an estimated 773,139 incidents in one year is equivalent to an estimated incident every 40.8 seconds.It's clear what Sentri is trying to achieve here - it's a DIY Wi-Fi-enabled home security system and an at-a-glance access point to the indoor temperature, humidity and air quality, as well as local weather. In the report, motor vehicle theft is defined as the theft or attempted theft of any self-propelled vehicle that runs on land surfaces and not on rails. Methodology: To arrive at the estimate that there was one motor vehicle theft or attempted theft every 40.8 seconds in the United States in 2017, we reviewed a federal government report which states that there was an estimated 773,139 thefts of motor vehicles nationwide in 2017. While no alarm system can prevent against all vehicle thefts, break-ins and threats, we hope that with Sentry Mode and our other security features, your Tesla will be even more secure.
Model 3 vehicles, followed by Model S and Model X vehicles that were built after August 2017. The feature will begin rolling out today to U.S.
#SMART SENTRY HOME SECURITY DRIVER#
Sentry Mode must be enabled each time a driver wants to use the feature by going to Controls > Safety & Security > Sentry Mode. They’ll be able to download a video recording of an incident (which begins 10 minutes prior to the time a threat was detected) by inserting a formatted USB drive into their car before they enable Sentry Mode. If a car switches to “Alarm” state, owners will also receive an alert from their Tesla mobile app notifying them that an incident has occurred.
If a more severe threat is detected, such as someone breaking a window, Sentry Mode switches to an “Alarm” state, which activates the car alarm, increases the brightness of the center display, and plays music at maximum volume from the car’s audio system. If a minimal threat is detected, 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. When enabled, Sentry Mode enters a “Standby” state, like many home alarm systems, which uses the car’s external cameras to detect potential threats. Sentry Mode adds a unique layer of protection to Tesla vehicles by continuously monitoring the environment around a car when it’s left unattended. To further enhance the security of our vehicles and give our customers additional peace of mind, today we’re starting to roll out a new safeguard – Sentry Mode – to protect against break-ins and theft. According to federal statistics, there was an estimated one motor vehicle theft or attempted theft every 40.8 seconds in the United States in 2017- and that doesn’t even include the vast number of car break-ins that happen nationwide.
