Sentry Mode: Guarding Your Tesla
The Tesla Team 2019 年 2 月 13 日
According to federal statistics, there was an estimated one motor vehicle
theft or attempted theft every 40.8 seconds in the United States in 2017—
and that doesn’t even include the vast number of car break-ins that happen
nationwide. To further enhance the security of our vehicles and give our
customers additional peace of mind, today we’re starting to roll out a new
safeguard – Sentry Mode – to protect against break-ins and theft.
Sentry Mode adds a unique layer of protection to Tesla vehicles by
continuously monitoring the environment around a car when it’s left
unattended. When enabled, Sentry Mode enters a “Standby” state, like many
home alarm systems, which uses the car’s external cameras to detect
potential threats. If a minimal threat is detected, such as someone leaning
on a car, Sentry Mode switches to an “Alert” state and displays a message
on the touchscreen warning that its cameras are recording. If a more severe
threat is detected, such as someone breaking a window, Sentry Mode switches
to an “Alarm” state, which activates the car alarm, increases the
brightness of the center display, and plays music at maximum volume from the
car’s audio system.
If a car switches to “Alarm” state, owners will also receive an alert from
their Tesla mobile app notifying them that an incident has occurred. They’ll
be able to download a video recording of an incident (which begins 10 minutes
prior to the time a threat was detected) by inserting a formatted USB drive
into their car before they enable Sentry Mode.
Sentry Mode must be enabled each time a driver wants to use the feature by
going to Controls > Safety & Security > Sentry Mode. The feature will begin
rolling out today to U.S. Model 3 vehicles, followed by Model S and Model X
vehicles that were built after August 2017.
While no alarm system can prevent against all vehicle thefts, break-ins and
threats, we hope that with Sentry Mode and our other security features, your
Tesla will be even more secure.
簡單說一下他介紹的功能：
啟用了哨兵模式之後，在"Standby"狀態會使用鏡頭來檢測潛在的威脅
若遇到像有人靠近車這種狀況，哨兵模式會切換到"Alert"狀態
在螢幕上顯示一條訊息，警告其鏡頭正在錄影
如果有更嚴重的威脅，例如有人打破車窗，哨兵模式會切換到"Alarm"狀態
讓汽車警報器響起、增加螢幕的亮度、並用最大音量播放音樂
而且車主也會收到警報訊息說車子已經處於"Alarm"狀態
除了哨兵模式外，最近應該也會接著更新"狗狗模式"
(可讓寵物安全的待在車內)
