Amazing support!

I downloaded the app to start the trial for my husband’s and my 2 new Teslas. It was a Sunday and I had trouble connecting the second car to the app so I emailed support, not expecting a reply for 1-2 business days. But not even 10 minutes later (on a Sunday!) I received a reply from a real person (not an auto-reply) with suggestions for how to fix my issue. They even asked me to let them know if I was able to fix it after trying. I followed their instructions, it worked, and I wrote back to let them know and to thank them for their quick response, and they actually wrote back telling them that they are glad everything was fine. That alone gets this company 5 stars, and the app is working great too. With the political climate the way it is, I feel more peace of mind knowing I’ll be notified right away if something is going on. Well done, Sentry Pro team!

Thank you for this. Reading it genuinely made our day! Honestly, the part that meant the most wasn't the five stars. It was that you wrote back to say the fix worked. Most people don't, and it's a small kindness that goes a long way. Congratulations on the two new Teslas. Enjoy them, and if anything ever comes up, just email. We'll be there!

From 5 hours too late to real time protection

I use Sentry Pro all the time, and it does a great job. If it detects something around my car, it immediately sends an alert to my Apple Watch. Whenever I get an alert, I open the app on my phone and see what’s happening around the car.

I subscribed to Sentry Pro after staying at a hotel where, overnight, people were breaking into cars and preparing to steal catalytic converters in the parking lot. My Tesla had beautiful color video of the people involved, but I didn’t see it until about five hours later. By then, it was obviously too late to catch them in the act.

The hotel didn’t even know what had happened in its parking lot until I showed them the video.

After that experience, I downloaded Sentry Pro. I feel much better about leaving my car parked now because I can get alerts and view the cameras while something is actually happening instead of discovering it hours later.

I love this app and use it all the time.

Thank you so mucg for this detailed review. Reviews like this do more for other owners than anything I can write myself. That parking lot is the whole reason the app exists: knowing while it's happening, not the next morning. Anything you need, support@sentrypro.app.

Amazing to use and get notifications

Works amazingly

Cannot get any kotifications without a subscription

Downloaded it. Set it all up and nope…cannot get notifications without a monthly fee.

Glad i didn’t authorize access to personal info. This seems like a scam.

Wunsch:

Bitte Geofencing der kamerabbasierten Erkennung zur Verfügung stellen. Zb. Arbeit ohne Kameraerkennung, Supermarkt mit.
Danke

Charges

Be very careful. They advertise 7 days free then a monthly or annual charge with cancel any time. I tried to sign up for this to try it out then do monthly. I was immediately charged a one year subscription for $49.99. I never had a chance to review for 7 days or sign up for monthly. Apple subscription would not refund. Waste of money

Love the Notifications

My first Tesla and was disappointed to see that the Tesla app lacked notifications. Sentry Pro is sweet. I wish I could adjust the notification volume as it’s rather loud when I’m in a meeting. lol. It’s all good though.

Very unreliable.

Received alerts the first day then they completely stopped. So if you are relying on Sentry Pro to let you know immediately if something is happening to your vehicle this app is not for you. I am extremely disappointed that this stopped working and I reached out to support and so far no response.

Very useful with quick notifications!

Much better than the Tesla app, which doesn’t notify you until after the damage is done.

I love this app

This app is a must if you own a Tesla

Ne fonctionne pas

Je me suis fait avoir en prenant l’abo pour un an. L’app fonctionne aléatoirement, est extrêmement lourde pour rien, mais surtout demande des autorisations Tesla qui n’ont rien à voir avec le mode sentinelle. Et j’ai remarqué que depuis qu’il y a des apps concurrentes qui fonctionnent et bien moins chères, le développeur a commencé à ajouté des fonctionnalités alors qu’en 10 mois rien….. ça fonctionne pas mais le développeur ne fait rien…. Bref mieux vaut regarder d’autres apps fonctionnelles.

Bonjour, et merci pour votre retour — je suis désolé que l'application n'ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Une précision importante concernant les autorisations: chaque autorisation demandée par Sentry Pro correspond à une fonctionnalité précise, et chacune est facultative. Si vous préférez ne pas accorder une autorisation donnée, vous n'avez simplement pas cette fonctionnalité — rien n'est demandé au-delà de ce dont une fonctionnalité a réellement besoin, et aucune donnée n'est utilisée à d'autres fins. Tous les accès passent par l'API Fleet officielle de Tesla, pour laquelle l'application a été examinée et approuvée. Concernant les mises à jour : l'application est activement développée. Ces derniers mois seulement, nous avons ajouté la programmation du mode Sentinelle, la programmation des actions dissuasives selon l'heure de la journée, ainsi qu'un historique d'activité, parmi d'autres fonctionnalités. Si l'application se comporte de manière instable chez vous, c'est presque toujours résoluble — écrivez-moi directement à support@sentrypro.app et je vous aiderai personnellement à régler le problème et à trouver une solution.

Doesn’t work

Gave it a try. It didn’t work

I love this app

This app is a must if you own a Tesla

Glitchy unfortunately

Seems to be a bit hit & miss, connectivity to sentry (stating off when it’s on) and camera activation, nothing at all last night. Reached out to support for help.

Response from developer

Hi Dazza, thanks for the feedback and for reaching out to support. Just to clarify what Sentry Pro does and doesn't do: the app doesn't affect or improve your cameras' sensitivity or how they respond in pitch-dark conditions. Camera behaviour is controlled entirely by Tesla, and they don't allow third-party apps to make any sensitivity adjustments. What Sentry Pro is built for is sending you notifications the moment Sentry Mode is triggered, automatically running actions in response to those events, and letting you schedule when the system turns on and off. On the status showing "off" when it was actually on — as our support agent explained, that was a localised issue specific to your vehicle, and we had it fixed for you within 24 hours. If anything else comes up, don't hesitate to reach back out to support. We're always happy to help.

Bugs

Works a little from day to day. Today it doesn’t. A few days ago it did. About to cancel and move on

The little boy who cried wolf...

This is yet another app where the developers think their app deserves to notify the user constantly because it's the only app a user would ever have to use. This app does nothing but pester me all freaking day. The more notifications one receives that are meaningless, the more this app becomes meaningless. After using for less than two weeks I'm canceling my subscription. I get way too many non-essential notifications. I get them throughout the day, throughout the night, even when I'm working out. By default this app will notify me when I'm sleeping and even in a workout. I've gone from being excited about this app, to be annoyed by this app, it's really hating this app. At least I can set off a warning that's a fart sound.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. The app actually gives you full control here — you can set a schedule with quiet hours for sleep and workouts, and notifications are split into critical and non-critical, so you can let only the important alerts come through while silencing the rest (even overriding Do Not Disturb only when it matters). You can also turn Sentry monitoring off entirely whenever you want. Nothing has to be on around the clock. Happy to point you to exactly where those settings live if you'd like — sorry it was noisy out of the box. Feel free to contact us at support@sentrypro.app at any time.

Needs Improvement

Unnecessary honking & sending notifications.
Honking if someone is close to the car.
Need to act only if someone is actually touching the car.

Response from developer

Dear Milieu, Sentry Pro doesn't alter the behaviour of Sentry Mode. If you are unsatisfied with how and when Sentry Mode triggers -which indeed can sometimes trigger even by leaves moving- that is not Sentry Pro's fault. Sentry Pro notifies you, and allows you to attach actions to be performed when Sentry Mode triggers. You can always contact us at support@sentrypro.app if you need advice on how to make the most of Sentry Pro, and we would be glad to help.

Great App —— Too Sensitive

It’s great to be notified when something is happening around your Tesla, but the app is too sensitive to Sentry. People can’t even simply walk by without setting off the alert. My girlfriend may walk outside to grab a package and she barely makes it out the door before my Cybertruck honks at her.

Great Addition

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Sentry Mode companion every Tesla owner needs

Three months in with my Model Y Performance and Sentry Pro has become one of my most-used apps. Real-time alerts mean I know the second something triggers my cameras — no more discovering damage days later. Clip organization is clean, events are sorted by severity, and the map view showing where incidents occurred is a genuinely useful touch.

The native Tesla experience of pulling a USB drive and scrubbing through footage always felt clunky. Sentry Pro fixes that. Battery impact has been minimal, updates are consistent, and it’s clear the developer actually owns a Tesla.

Worth every penny if you care about protecting your car.
