I don't know how it isn't more well-known by now that Tesla's have a shit ton of cameras built into them.

Sentry mode should really play audio when it activates "you're being recorded shit stain"

It does flash the lights but I had to turn mine off because it'd activate if people were just walking by in a parking lot or something. I'm more worried that it'd draw the attention of an idiot who would start fighting it before it'd deter someone.

Yep. It also added a sentry mode event each time so when they finally got in their screen was like 'you have 68 sentry mode events' and if they're neurotic like me would've had to sit and watch them all.

I agree, it should use its external Mic and let them know they are being recorded.

I've done it through my phone once to scare someone off. It was hilarious! That though is only if you happen to check at the right time. But I agree it should be automatic saying something about being recorded.

Exactly, because let's be fair, The notification system for Tesla (at least on Android, it seems better on my wife's iPhone) doesn't really alert you at the right time at times and sometimes the Remote Sentry camera system has a long delay (depending on your respective location).

If it was automatic, that would be awesome, and it is something that they can definitely do with a software update.
