Every Sentry and Dashcam clip carries the data your car recorded while it filmed. Dashmetrics reads it and renders it back onto the video: speed, steering, autopilot state, G‑force, GPS position, synced frame by frame.

Your car writes telemetry alongside every clip it saves. Dashmetrics decodes it, lines it up with the footage and gives you something you can actually read.
Scrub to any moment and read what the car was doing: speed, gear, steering angle, pedal input, autopilot state, three-axis acceleration and the exact coordinates. Export the whole log as CSV when you need it elsewhere.
An interactive speed curve with the average and the top of the run, plus lateral and longitudinal G‑force as you go through every corner.
Acceleration runs are detected in the telemetry without you marking anything. Every 0‑50, 0‑100, 0‑120 and 80‑120 km/h pull in the clip is listed with its time and where it happened — or 0‑30, 0‑60, 0‑80 and 40‑70 mph if that is how you read a speedo.
The same launch is measured against the strip's distance marks too: 60 ft, 330 ft, the eighth, 1000 ft and the quarter mile, with a trap speed where the strip gives you one, or 100 to 1000 m on metric. Both timing conventions are there — a true standstill start, or the 1‑ft rollout a drag strip actually measures — and any of it can fill in live on the exported video.
Speed gauge, minimap, steering wheel, G‑force meter, coordinates, timestamp, drag timer and custom text. Turn each one on or off, place it where you want it and preview the whole thing before a single frame is rendered.
Trim to the moment, pick 16:9 or 9:16 and render up to 4K. The layout adapts to the format instead of cropping your overlay off the edge, and file size is estimated before you commit.
With more than one camera in the clip you also choose how they land. Side by side in a grid, or one by one — the same moment played through again for each camera, full screen, every one with its own trim and its own place in the running order.
Straight from Files or Photos, every camera angle detected at once.
Speed, gear, steering and pedals, lined up with the footage.
The same drive from every angle, switchable in one tap.
Every sample in a table, exportable to CSV.
Trim, choose the HUD, preview it, then render in 16:9 or 9:16.
Footage on top, the quality trace and every impact underneath.
Splits filling in live as the car pulls: 0-50, 0-100, 0-120 and 80-120.
The quickest pull in your clip, printed the way a drag strip prints it — as an image made to be shared.
Vertical acceleration already tells you how rough the pavement was. Dashmetrics turns it into a score, pins on a map and evidence you can send to someone who can fix it.
Every clip is scored from the telemetry it already carries. Nothing to mount, nothing to calibrate.
Impacts are pinned on the chart and the map with the time, the speed and the coordinates. Add one by hand or correct the type when the detector gets it wrong.
Sustained broken pavement is marked as a range rather than a point: where it starts, how far it runs and how bad it gets.
Share a photo, a video or a PDF of any finding with its address, coordinates and time, or export the whole drive as one report.
Copy a Sentry or Dashcam recording from your car's USB drive to your phone, or save one remotely from the Tesla app. Point Dashmetrics at the whole event folder and every camera angle inside it is detected at once.
Follow the route on the map, scrub the speed and G‑force charts, check the road score and jump between camera angles without re-processing anything.
Trim to the moment, choose your HUD and format, and render a clip you can post, send to your insurer or attach to a complaint.
Three real recordings ship with the app and open through exactly the same import path as your own: a full‑throttle launch for the Drag tab and the time slip, a minute of city streets for the map, speed and road quality, and a multi‑camera event for split‑view playback and the one‑by‑one export.
Every paid feature is unlocked while a sample is loaded, so you can build a HUD and render a finished export end to end before you decide anything — useful too when your own car’s firmware turns out to be too old to write telemetry.
On the drive the clips live in TeslaCam, split into RecentClips, SavedClips and SentryClips, and every saved event gets its own folder. Inside it the car writes the footage in one‑minute segments — one file per camera, per minute. A five‑minute event across six cameras is thirty separate files.
Which is exactly why this is the route to use: hand over the folder and all of it is ordered, matched by angle and stitched into one continuous timeline.
Straight from the Files app, or from the drive itself: a USB‑A to USB‑C adapter plugs it into the iPhone and Dashmetrics reads the clips in place, with no copying step first. Moving the folder to the phone through Files works just as well.
Keep the file names Tesla gave them — the camera angle is read from the name, so a renamed file loses its position in the layout.
The route for clips you saved remotely through the Tesla app, or anything already in Photos. Select every piece of a moment at once — the 30‑second saves the Tesla app makes are re-ordered and stitched back into one timeline, overlaps included.
The telemetry survives as long as the video reaches the library untouched.
A clip that has been through WhatsApp has no telemetry left. The data rides inside the original file the car wrote. Messaging apps and social platforms — WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, Instagram, and anything else that re‑compresses a video before sending it — hand over a re‑encoded copy, and the telemetry does not survive that. The same goes for a clip re-exported by an editing app or run through a converter. Dashmetrics will still play it, but there is nothing left to read.
Move the original file instead: the folder off the USB drive, the file itself through Files or AirDrop, or the clip saved to Photos by the Tesla app. All four keep it intact.
Since software update 2026.20, Tesla encrypts Dashcam and Sentry recordings on the USB drive by default. An encrypted file cannot be opened by Dashmetrics — or by any other player — directly. Four ways to get a clip that opens in full, from the quickest one‑off to the one that settles it for good.
Open the Dashcam Viewer on the car's screen, find the clip and tap the padlock on it. Tesla's own release note puts it plainly: “To decrypt clips, tap the padlock icon in the Dashcam app or visit dashcam.tesla.com.”
Clip by clip, straight from the driver's seat, with nothing else to set up. The quickest route when there is one moment you actually care about.
Open Controls → Safety → Encrypt Dashcam Recordings on the car's screen and switch it off.
Everything the car records from that point on is saved unencrypted, exactly as before, and opens straight away. Clips already on the drive are not touched, so pair this with one of the other options for those.
Plug the USB drive into a computer, go to dashcam.tesla.com and sign in with your Tesla account. The keys are fetched for your account and decryption happens locally in your browser, then you save the readable files.
The one to use for recordings already sitting on the drive, in bulk.
Browse your Dashcam and Sentry clips remotely in the Tesla app and save them to your phone. They arrive already decrypted — no setting to change, no USB drive to unplug.
Two limits worth knowing: it saves one camera at a time, and at most 30 seconds per save. So take as many 30‑second pieces as the moment needs, angle by angle, overlaps and all — import them together and Dashmetrics puts them back in order and joins them seamlessly.
Unencrypted and decrypted clips both work in full here, telemetry included. Dashmetrics never asks for your Tesla account and never sends a clip anywhere — decryption is something the car or Tesla's own site does, before the file ever reaches the app.
Sentry Mode and Dashcam recordings that your Tesla saves to its USB drive, and the same clips saved to your phone remotely through the Tesla app. Copy a recording folder to your phone and open it in the app. Every camera angle in the folder is detected together, so you can switch between them without re-processing anything. Recordings the car has encrypted need one extra step first, described below.
Not while they are encrypted. Since software update 2026.20 Tesla encrypts Dashcam and Sentry recordings by default, and an encrypted file cannot be opened by Dashmetrics or any other player. There are four ways round it. Tap the padlock on a clip in the car's own Dashcam Viewer, which decrypts that clip where it sits — the quickest route for a single moment. Switch the setting off under Controls → Safety → Encrypt Dashcam Recordings, and everything recorded from then on is saved unencrypted. Decrypt in bulk at dashcam.tesla.com, where you sign in with your Tesla account and the files are decrypted locally in your browser for you to save. Or save clips to your phone through the Tesla app, which hands them over already decrypted. Once a clip is unencrypted it works in full here, telemetry included.
No. The Tesla app saves one camera at a time and caps each save at 30 seconds, so a longer moment comes out as several pieces, and a second angle means going round again. Save as many pieces as you need — you do not have to line them up or trim the overlaps — then import them together. Dashmetrics reads the timing out of each file, puts them back in order, matches them by camera and joins them into one seamless timeline.
In the TeslaCam folder, split into RecentClips, SavedClips and SentryClips, with every saved event in a folder of its own. Inside that folder the recording is cut into one-minute segments, one file per camera per minute, so a five-minute event across six cameras is thirty files rather than six. That is why handing over the whole folder beats picking files by hand: Dashmetrics orders the segments, matches them by angle and joins them into one timeline. Leave the file names as Tesla wrote them — the camera angle is read from the name, so a renamed file cannot be placed correctly in the layout.
Three ways. Pick a whole event folder, which is the one we recommend, because the recording is split into one-minute segments per camera and the folder route puts them all back together automatically. Pick individual files from the Files app, or straight off the USB drive: with a USB-A to USB-C adapter the drive plugs into the iPhone and the clips can be read in place without copying them first. Or import from Photos, which is the route for clips saved remotely through the Tesla app. Whichever you use, it has to be the original file the car wrote.
Because it is no longer the file the car wrote. The telemetry rides inside the original recording, and messaging apps and social platforms — WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, Instagram and the rest — re-compress a video before sending it. What arrives is a re-encoded copy with the data gone, and no app can recover it. The same applies to a clip re-exported by a video editor or run through a converter. Dashmetrics will still play such a file, there is simply nothing left to read. To keep the telemetry, move the original: the event folder off the USB drive, the file itself through Files or AirDrop, or the clip saved to Photos by the Tesla app.
No. Decoding, analysis and rendering all happen on the device. There is no account to create, no upload step and no server holding your clips. The app does not need a network connection to do any of the work.
Speed, gear, steering angle, accelerator and brake input, autopilot state, three-axis acceleration, GPS coordinates and heading, for any frame of the clip. It also derives a speed curve, G-force readings, acceleration times and a road quality score, and can export the whole log as CSV.
The vertical acceleration already recorded alongside the footage indicates how rough the pavement was. Dashmetrics turns that into a score for the clip, pins individual impacts such as potholes and speed bumps with the time, speed and coordinates, and marks sustained broken pavement as a range rather than a single point. Nothing needs to be mounted or calibrated.
A video with your chosen HUD overlay in 16:9 or 9:16, up to 4K, and with several cameras either side by side in a grid or one after another full screen. From an acceleration run you can export a time slip: a drag-strip ticket as an image, in a time or a distance version. From the road quality analysis you can export a single finding — a pothole, a speed bump or a rough stretch — as a photo, a video or a PDF report carrying its address, coordinates and time, or the whole drive's findings as GeoJSON and CSV. The raw telemetry log exports as CSV too.
A shareable image of one acceleration run, laid out like the ticket a drag strip hands you, in two versions of the same pass: a time slip listing your speed ranges, and a distance slip listing the strip's marks from 60 ft to the quarter mile with their trap speeds. Every line comes from the same launch, the quickest one in the clip, and the curve underneath is that run. It states whether it was measured from a standstill or with a one-foot rollout, and can carry a line of your own text for the car or its plate — text that stays on your phone and only leaves it inside the image you share.
Yes. Three real recordings ship with the app: a full-throttle launch, a minute of city driving and a multi-camera event. They open through the same import path as your own footage, and every paid feature is unlocked while one is loaded, so you can explore the telemetry, build a HUD and render a complete export before deciding anything. It is also the answer when a car turns out to be too old to write telemetry alongside its recordings.
Yes. Switch the app to imperial and speeds, the HUD gauge, the acceleration ranges and the drag distance marks all follow: 0-30, 0-60, 0-80 and 40-70 mph, and 60 ft through to the quarter mile. On metric you get the km/h ranges and the 100, 200, 400 and 1000 m marks. The two families never mix, since a quarter-mile time means little to a driver who thinks in metres.
