What our customers say:
All our TeslaCam drives fit in the Jeda Hub (including the hidden TeslaCam compartment)
Why microSD cards?
The microSD drives we use are designed for Dashcam systems. These cards are rugged, built to withstand extreme heat and cold, which is perfect for being left in a car year round, and have a write speed that far surpasses the minimum Tesla requirement (4 MB/sec).
Regular USB flash drives cannot withstand the constant recording that takes place with Dashcam systems and will fail…probably when you need it the most. microSD cards, specifically those in this package, are up to the task and can handle the burden.
Dashcam and Sentry Mode captures...
- Accidents
- Hit and Run
- Unusual occurances
…and so much more.
- Theft
- Keying
- Door Dings

Dashcam is a system built into your Tesla. When a properly formatted USB drive (like the one we sell) is inserted into the USB port in your Tesla, the car will start recording from the front, left, right, and rear cameras.
The system retains the most recent hour of footage before overwriting itself.
To save footage, simply tap the Dashcam icon (small camera with red dot) and the last 10 minutes of footage will be saved permanently to the SavedClips folder on the drive. It will remain until you delete it.
Sentry Mode, when enabled, monitors your Tesla while it is parked and locked. When a potential threat is detected, the system enters Alert state, which starts the four cameras recording (front, left, right, rear) and also displays a message on the center screen.
If the threat becomes physical (entering vehicle, damage, etc) it will enter Alarm state and will activate the lights, horn, and music in the car.
Video clips from both Alert and Alarm states are saved to the SentryClips folder on your USB drive. The oldest clips overwrite when the drive fills up.

The fact that you guys figured out what was needed and put it together in a quick easy to use package is exactly what I wanted. Of course, I probably could have done it myself. But let’s be serious. I was never going to. I would think and think about how I should and be no further along. This was the best answer. Take advantage of what you learned and do the easy thing and order from you.

Highly recommended! I ordered the Tesla DashCam & Sentry Mode Package – USB/MicroSD Configured for TeslaCam and it is working perfectly. The best part is that it arrives fully formatted for TeslaCam with the MicroSD card already in place so all I had to do was plug it in the car and the camera icon appeared. I tested it and the videos look sharp and clear. I ordered the 128GB card that enables me to store plenty of videos when using sentry mode or to catch an accident. Moreover the USB MicroSD Card Reader has a convenient USB A and USB C which means that I can remove it from the car and plug it into my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone and review all four angle videos immediately thanks to the Tesla Cam Sentry Reviewer application for Android phones. Lastly I want to thank you for the quick shipment! In about 3 to 4 days I received the product via first class mail and for a very affordable price. For any Tesla owner especially the Model 3, this product is vital to identify any vandals and assist the police and insurance company with video footage after an accident. I am one happy customer and if I have questions down the line I am certain I can count on Pure Tesla for help.
