How to retrieve accident video?

[CyberRout66]

I was rear-ended last night. Sentry recorded the event, but I only see the front-facing camera.

In addition, I initially watched the video from the clip on my phone and downloaded it. The video no longer resides on my USB drive. Why would the video be removed after downloading, seems like you should have to remove videos manually.

The result is the video only shows the front camera, which of course shows nothing since I was rear-ended.

The issue is that the other driver is saying I cut him off, which I did not - I need the video evidence.

The USB drive in the glove box should hopefully have your video clips. I would recommend removing that and taking it to your computer. Hopefully you can simply copy them off the drive and your good to go. Worse case scenario they may have been deleted for whatever reason and you would have to resort to data recovery software, to hopefully get some partial data back.

^^^^^ This. But downloading to phone from the app supposedly removed the file from the usb drive. This according to an AI response from google. If that is true, oh boy. I didn’t know that, expect that to be the case, and I’m sure comes as a surprise to many. Maybe you can undelete from usb as other said.

Yes, removed the USB stick and just copy the entire thing to a PC.

My buddies car in wreak. Totaled. Ask me. I said immediately go to car. Pull out drive. He was able get it. It shows wreak. Video can only record on channel at a time. We have at least 6 cameras on car . Tesla has choosen to only record front while driving. I'm not sure system will record on all 6 cameras??? At the same time while driving??

The dashcam doesn't record every single camera, but it does get nearly a 360° view.
