Now Implemented!
Description
Offer the ability to video camera video via a cell phone over the cellular connection. This might only be available when parked and as a plus would have recording abilities.
Competitive/Pricing/Notes
Would it be possible for Tesla …or some 3rd party programmer …to make the smartphone /iPhone system (is it Visible Tesla?) to remotely switch on and access the front and/ or the rear cameras of the cars when they are parked? That way you could monitor your car when parked in a dodgy area or car park, and maybe even record suspicious activity!
You could even monitor people entering your property if your car is parked in your drive.
But I guess the do-gooders, might say it is an intrusion into civil liberties, but that would be no different to CCTV in open places! Anyway, if they leave my property .. and that of others alone, there should be no problem!
Moderator: We believe with AP1 hardware design, the video feed cannot be fed into the cellular connection. Likely HW2.5 or later is required as used by the dashcam feature. One issue is the amount of cellular bandwidth required, especially if Tesla is paying for it.
Status
Now available with 2021.36.8 software in October 2021 for cars with AP3.
