How To Disable The Internal Camera On A Tesla?

To disable the interior cabin camera in a Tesla, press the “gear” icon on the touchscreen and select “Safety and Security” and scroll down to “Cameras”. Do not use chemical-based or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the camera lens surface. Tesla has made it possible for owners to enable or disable the camera’s functionality based on personal preference. To manage the interior camera, follow these steps:

1. On Model S and Model X, tap ‘Controls’ > ‘Safety’ > ‘View Live Camera via Mobile App’ on your vehicle’s screen.
2. Remove the upper camera cover and remove the screws (x2) that attach the occupant camera to the upper.
3. Enable or disable Live Camera access by going to Controls> Safety and Security on your car’s touchscreen.
4. Adjust your data sharing preferences by touching Controls > Software > Data Sharing > Allow Cabin Camera Analytics.
5. The consensus on whether leaving the cabin camera unblocked reduces the nag in AP is that it does not.
6. To access Live Camera from the Tesla app, tap ‘Security’ > ‘Sentry Mode’ > ‘View live camera.’ Sentry Mode is designed to add another layer of protection to the camera.
7. To disable live data transmission for the camera in Model Y in the Safety and Security settings, use voice commands or the Tesla mobile app to enable or disable Sentry Mode.
8. Tesla’s in-car cameras will now monitor you while in Autopilot mode. To turn it off, hold the steering wheel almost all the time, as the new software wants you to hold the wheel almost all the time.
