Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Ray, and together with my co-founder Dominic, we've spent the last two years building SentryAlert.
The idea came from a simple frustration: Tesla records amazing footage, but by the time you discover an incident, it's often too late. We wanted to know what happened, as it happened.
Instead of building another cloud service, we took a different approach. SentryAlert is a dedicated in-car edge device that works directly with TeslaCam. It can send AI-powered near real-time alerts, snapshots, video clips and intelligent summaries while keeping your recordings on your own device—not our servers.
Privacy and user control have been guiding principles from day one. We also wanted to avoid another monthly subscription, so SentryAlert is designed to be a buy-once solution with no mandatory subscription.
We've learned a tremendous amount from our beta testers and the Tesla community, and we're still improving every week. We'd genuinely love your feedback—whether it's about the product, the user experience, or features you'd like to see in the future.
Thanks for checking out SentryAlert! 🚗⚡

How does the device actually communicate with my phone when an event is detected, and does it need to be hardwired or can it just sit in the glovebox plugged into a USB port?

How does the device actually communicate with your phone for the snapshots and summaries if everything stays stored on the device itself, is it running its own local network or piggybacking on the Tesla's wifi?

Finally a sentry solution that keeps footage local and skips the monthly fee. Setup took about ten minutes in my Model Y, and I got a clean clip of a door swing incident the next morning with a surprisingly accurate summary.

Finally something that keeps my clips local without forcing me into another subscription. Setup was painless and the summary alerts actually feel useful instead of just spamming me.

Love that the recordings stay on-device instead of getting pushed to the cloud, that local-first approach feels like the right call for something watching your car around the clock.
