This customer wanted easier access and higher quality video recording around his Tesla Model S so we obliged with a Blackvue 900x 4k Front & rear dashcam install.
Tesla allow you to use the built in cameras to imitate the functions of a dashcam but most (if not all) fall short in comparison to dashcams such as Blackvue, Thinkware or Goluk. Third party cameras are dedicated to higher video quality and features such as remote cloud viewing and notifications along with regular firmware updates providing other improvements.
The Blackvue records 24/7/365 with either motion / impact detection or time-lapse whilst parked with minimal affect to the Tesla battery.
On Tesla vehicles, should you wish to enable the built in autopilot cameras as a dashcam using sentry mode, the consequences are that you lose considerable miles whilst parked.
Not only that, the focal point and field of view of the built in cameras are focused to assist in its autopilot abilities and not that of a wide angle view dashcam. The result after a few days, your Tesla battery may be flat and with gaps and spaces between the vehicle cameras, you might actually miss an important incident.
Imagine leaving your Tesla at an airport for a week or so!
Should you disable your Teslacam? We would advise you definitely enable and use it whilst you are driving. Having an extra Dashcam discretely installed to compliment your existing Tesla cameras can be a very worthy investment, and you can have that investment transferred to you next vehicle.
With dashcams such as Blackvue, Thinkware or Goluk installed into a Tesla, you might not actually notice any battery degradation or mileage use at all. In fact some owners said at the very worst with the cameras being on 24/7, they use maybe 2 miles in around 4 weeks!
So, having both your existing Tesla cams enabled (even disable sentry mode whilst parking for long durations) and having an extra system installed makes sense to ensure should anything happen whilst driving or more importantly whilst parked, you will capture this on video.

Installed Professionally : We do not use contractors or profess to be a big national company with many technicians. Have a browse of our reviews on facebook and Google.
