## What is Dash View for Tesla Cars?

Dash View is the best way to view both Sentry Incidents and Saved Clips on your device. No need for a computer, just plug your TeslaCam USB into your device with an adaptor. Using powerful AI, Dash View shows thumbnails of the cause of the sentry incident and jumps right to the time the event occurred. You can also export great composite videos (and time lapses).

Note: This app requires an adaptor, that works with the Files app, to connect your TeslaCam drive to your device. Some devices may require a powered adaptor.

- Easy to use UI
- AI powered thumbnails
- View all clips synchronised
- Automatically jumps to time of sentry incident (don’t waste time)
- Quickly delete events
- Export timelapses and combined videos
- See what is taking up storage on drive
- Smooth playback even at 4x speed

### 1/5 — Glitched Video Exports - Not as Advertised

*2024-05-27, version 1.2.2*

I recently purchased Dash View for Tesla Cars with the expectation of exporting combined videos showing all camera angles, as advertised. However, the app fails to deliver on this promise with my 2024 Model Y.

When attempting to export combined videos, the output is completely glitched. The exported video only shows two or three of the cameras, with them overlapping or in an extremely weird format. Instead of displaying all four camera angles, the app creates an ultra-wide video format that is not functional. The front camera often appears in the middle, with other camera views overlapping or missing entirely. This results in an aspect ratio that's around 10:1, which is unusable.

The app's thumbnails on the App Store and in the app itself attempt to emulate the look of Tesla's Sentry Mode viewer, but the actual output is far from what is depicted. The exported videos are mangled in terms of orientation and inclusion of all four camera angles.

This issue may be due to the newer Tesla models having cameras with different aspect ratios. For reference, I am using this app on a 2020 Intel iMac running macOS. I hope the developers can address these issues soon, as the current state of the app does not meet expectations based on the advertised features.

### 1/5 — don't buy this crappy app

*2022-05-01, version 1.2.2*

this app is totally useless because crashes every time I tried to open a file.  Don't waste your money

### 1/5 — useless when it crashes so often

*2022-03-12, version 1.2.2*

I'm still looking for a great dash cam viewer, and tried this one again - it still crashes while just viewing clips.

### 4/5 — I Really wish the crashing was fixed!

*2022-03-09, version 1.2.2*

If this app didn't crash so often, it would be perfect for me! But I have been suing it for 10 minutes and it's crashed at least 8 times...... Pretty sad that it hasnt been looked into.

### 3/5 — Mostly Good, Still Some Essential Controls Missing

*2021-10-05, version 1.2.1*

The 4-up playback is the major feature and works well. Still, there are simple controls that we expect in all MacOS applications that are missing here. Wanna switch from 1x playback to 0.5x playback? You hafta click through 2x, 3x, 4x, 8x, 16x, then once more to 0.5x. A better control is necessary. How about key press shortcuts for these speeds (as in other video players? How about key press shortcuts for jump-back-10-seconds, jump-forward, and pause/play? How about a wider control for the playhead so that scubbing the video is easier and more precise? In short, look at the best desktop video players that allow convenient and useful control of playback, and copy those features. Also, when opening a clip, the resulting window always opens in the same place at the same size. If a user adjusts that size, how about having the next clip open with the same position and dimensions instead of making the user reposition the window with each clip? Also, I haven't figured out yet how to delete lots of clips all at once. There doesn't seem to be a way to select multiple clips so that a single delete command will do the trick.

### 4/5 — Good start, lots of room for improvement

*2021-07-19, version 1.2.1*

Really nice to have a cross-platform app for viewing these videos. Some suggestions:
- support scrubbing by scrolling on Mac
- resolve hangs on iOS app
- let us pause using the space bar!

### 1/5 — Didn’t recognise USB

*2021-04-27, version 1.2.1*

I tried 3 different USB, all formatted through Tesla Sentry and with the right folder names, and it didn’t work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iXpand drive

*2020-12-23, version 1.2.0*

This app is useless for me if I can’t get it to work with the SanDisk iXpand drive which is what I use for sentry mode.

### 2/5 — Nice

*2020-08-07, version 1.2.0*

Nice UI..but it crashes ALOT.

### 1/5 — Slow to connect, difficult to set up

*2020-05-01, version 1.2.0*

It’s good once it’s going but takes ages to connect after you first plug it into the phone. So much so it stops you using it. Also set up not clearly explained.
