Tesla App Endlines Real-Time Sentinel Function? Author Analysis: False, Unlikely
Phoenix Net Tech News, August 22, "Tesla APP Endlines Real-Time Sentinel Camera and Recent Video Review Function" has sparked heated discussions among netizens. In response, renowned automobile blogger @Fat Tiger Shawn says, "The picture being circulated today is fake. Currently, domestic Tesla models are unable to remotely view these video information." The blogger also notes that some vehicle types support viewing the B-pillar camera angle from within the vehicle.
Netizen @GANTZX analyzes that Tesla's likelihood of introducing real-time sentinel functionality in China is very low, as domestic regulations require remote viewing of cameras to be anonymized for sensitive content such as license plates and facial recognition. The netizen also notes that Tesla will not dedicate resources specifically for this function, even if it were possible, as the outcome would render the feature meaningless.
Tesla's official website has yet to announce the feature. According to the introduction, "When Sentinel Mode is enabled, the vehicle's camera and sensors (if equipped) will remain active and record any suspicious activity around the vehicle. Sentinel Mode can be considered a smart vehicle safety system that detects potential threats in the vicinity and alerts you."
