      Not even close to enough. Teslas turn all of that off at 20%. Running enough of the system to capture and process video takes about 500-1000w, so around 1% battery every hour or two.

      Edit: derp, it’s 300-500w.

        If that’s true, that is very horribly engineered. 500-1000 watts holy shit

          I’d say it’s pretty reasonable. Six to seven cameras, the cellular modem, and the computer system running for processing the video for motion and tamper detection, alerting the owner, and being on standby for remote commands.

          Edit: I was wrong, it’s about 300-500w.

          I was wrong, it’s about 300-500w. I own a Tesla (yes, I know) and it goes down around 8-10% a day if it’s on “sentry mode” and not plugged in. That’s not typically an issue as there’s rarely a reason to have it in sentry mode long term somewhere that it doesn’t have power, usually just a few hours at most if we’re out, so it’ll lose 1-3%.
