What our customers say:
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 best of both worlds: our highly reliable and popular microSD drive for TeslaCam recording coupled with the ability to view footage on the go with the included USB to Lightning adapter for your iPhone or iPad. This package works seamlessly with the included SentryView app on iOS (shown in video below).
Included in this package:
- Fully TeslaCam formatted microSD card
- USB A & C reader (microSD card inserted and ready to use)
- USB to Lightning Adapter
- Works with SentryView App (paid app available on Apple App Store)
Enjoy the flexibility of being able to view footage using USB A, USB C, or Lightning connections.
This package allows for seamless review of your Dashcam and Sentry Mode footage on your iPhone and/or iPad using the included microSD card, reader, and lightning adapter! All of which are plug-and-play, both in your Tesla and once you connect it to your iPhone/iPad and open the included SentryView for Tesla app or the Files app.
You will need iOS 13 to view footage on your iOS device. You will need a USA based App Store account to redeem the app code.
Why this option?
For iOS users that want to review footage on the go.
What steps are required?
- Purchase the drive from Pure Tesla (it comes pre-formatted!) 🙂
- When drive arrives, plug it into your Tesla – no formatting needed, we take care of that for you.
- When you're ready to review footage, plug the USB into the lightning adapter, then plug into your iPhone or iPad
- Open the Files app or the SentryView app (optional purchase) and tap PURETESLA or TESLACAM…then view footage!
How do I format the drive when I receive it from Pure Tesla?
You don't have to! The whole idea behind this package is that your drive will come pre-formatted, ready for all TeslaCam activities (DashCam and Sentry Mode). Simply plug in the drive to your Tesla and you're good to go (assuming you have a software version that supports DashCam and Sentry Mode).
Each drive is formatted and tested to ensure it is functioning properly.
All our drives fit in the Jeda Hub Dashcam storage compartment.
*Refunds are not provided for the cost of the SentryView app ($7.99) as the code sent to the customer is irrevocable.
**NOTE: PureTesla sells the initial Dashcam formatting service and guarantees that Dashcam will work upon arrival. Due to the various computer operating systems and Tesla software updates, we are not responsible for drives that are corrupted due to situations outside of our control. That said, we are always happy to help troubleshoot! Hardware warranty is provided through the manufacturer.
**Dashcam and Sentry Mode recording works with Tesla vehicles manufactured since August 2017. AP 2.0 Hardware is currently not fully supported (but stay tuned as that may change).
**International shipments going through customs are subject to inspection and, depending on your countries import policies, may be assessed import fees/VAT upon arrival and are the responsibility of the customer. This only applies to specific countries. International customers will not be able to redeem the app code without a USA based App Store account.

A must have for Tesla owners. It’s like a apple product “It just works”. The big plus with this is there app. It plays video in a nice convenient display. It shows all cameras in each video. So there is no files to search through.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Jeff was extremely helpful, in answering my questions and quickly responding to my inquiries. I received the iOS bundle and “just like that” I was connected. I was so excited to finally see the red dot on my Tesla dashcam. The video is very helpful on how to connect the usb to the adapter and on how to view footage from the dashcam. I highly recommend Pure Tesla

It works great with my new iPad but my iPhone isn’t compatible (I have an iPhone 6)

I freaking love it. Just plug it in and done. I would highly recommend it to any Tesla owner.
John I. (verified owner) –
Simple to set up and use. One day later I come out to my car, see the sentry events notification. Plug the usb into the lightning connector and see exactly what triggered the event. The big truck sitting next to me in the parking lot was still there in case there were any issues, which there weren’t in this case. Bottom line, provides instant update on what triggers the notification without having to wait until you’re home to plug the stick in the computer.

Better than the original!! Now I have a USB-3 to Lightning to view the videos on my iPhone. It works right out of the box as advertised. What more can you ask for?

Jeff at Pure Tesla was very helpful and responded to a few initial questions that I asked almost immediately.
William Lipowcan (verified owner) –
Recorded well, unfortunately after one use I dropped the Lightening Adapter between the driver seat and the center counsel. I was unable to find it, went to Tesla service center and they were unable to find it. Do you sell the Lightening Adapter separately?
Thank you, Bill
Juan C Gutierrez (verified owner) –
Excellent App. In general it’s a great product. But from my point of view the costumer services, the support, is fantastic. I made some mistake in the installation of the App and Jeff took me by hand step by step to the end. I’m so happy and I recommend formatted TeslaCam drives from PureTesla 100%.
