Description

Organize

Focus helps you find the video you're looking for quickly and efficiently. No more sorting through an endless list to locate the event you've had on your mind. Use the built-in calendar to find events on they day they happened. Flag an event so you can find it again quickly. Organize by location or by date. Focus is built for convenience.

Search

Tired of dragging a scroller across the screen only to have your software jump back and lose position? Focus has been built to quickly and accurately scrub videos to find what you're looking for. Play videos up to 10X speed* or pause and move one frame at a time, all using simple keyboard commands.

* Scrub speed will depend on your computers capabilities and the speed of the drive.

Export

Sentry videos can be large, and as Tesla adds more cameras, they just get larger. If you need a portion of an event, or from a particular camera - Focus has you covered. The built-in editor allows you to mark the portions of an event you want to export and share, then export it with a single click. Choose all views or zoom in on a particular view - Focus will export only what you need. Focus will even detect corrupt frames in the source video and clean them up to make them exportable.

Support

Every request we get is responded to, usually within 24 hours. Focus is updated on a regular basis and many popular features have come from customer requests.

Features (the obligatory list)

- Quick identification of where and when Sentry events took place. The nearest city is listed in the event listing, and clicking an event allows you to jump directly to the time Sentry mode was activated, as well as see where the event occurred on the integrated map.
- Sort by location or date.
- Built in clip selection and export. Select multiple clips from the new video scrubber and export portions of your dashcam videos. No more exporting entire 10 minutes videos only to have to edit in other programs!
- V10 support - view 4 cameras (front, back, left and right repeaters) at once.
- A built in calendar that allows you to easily locate videos, showing you at a glance how many events occurred on a given date.
- 60 second videos are automatically stitched together so you can seamlessly view TeslaCam events.
- All cameras can be viewed at once, or you can zoom to a particular camera for a larger view.
- Videos can be exported in various sizes. Export all cameras to one video, or export individual cameras.
- Flag videos of interest to review later.
- Delete videos that you no longer need right inside of Focus.
- Filter videos by event type (Sentry, Recent or Saved). (macOS only)
- Adjust the speed of the videos to scan through a large number of videos at once (from 0 to 10 times speed).
- Support for full screen (on macOS) and dark mode.
- Tested with videos produced by both HW2.5 and HW3 versions of Autopilot.
- Automatically locates the inserted drive when the "Select TeslaCam folder..." button is clicked, but you can also select an archived TeslaCam folder on any storage device.

Excellent update to very useful Tesla dashcam/Sentry video viewer

After emailng the developer, he fixed my previous issue and then some. Combined with my "modified" Roadie and a custom Python daemon I wrote to automatically fetch videos whenever the Roadie is connected to my home WiFi, this is an awesome way to review videos without needing to deal with Tesla's nice but limited in-car viewer or the less efficient UI with the Roadie app.

I had written some AppleScript scripts to try to make ripping through hundreds of videos faster, and this app is basically what I had in mind when I started on that unfinished endeavor. When it works, it's absolutely fantastic. I do find that it has a few bugs yet... pausing the video and then resuming doesn't actually resume the video until you fiddle with the progress bar, and it gets really confused with corrupted videos that unfortunately Tesla still writes out.

Very happy with the app, though. These glitches are minor and probably easy to resolve.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback.

I'm not sure what version of macOS you are running, but the handling of corrupted videos is substantially better on Catalina than prior versions of macOS. On versions prior to Mojave, the issues you mention (pausing and resuming video, issues with corrupt videos) is especially noticable.

Works Perfect!

Exactly what I wanted. Very easy to view videos by date, and one click of the timestamp shows the video from all 4 cameras. It even stitches together the 1 minute clips into a longer video if they were recorded continuously.

One suggestion I think would be cool is the ability to customize the placement of clips on the screen. My prefered location would be the front camera up top, and the 3 other cameras below. Just a minor suggestion but this app is great!

Developer Response ,

Agreed - customized clip placement would be a nice addition. I'll get it in an upcoming release.

Best Option so far

Best app for this purpose on the Mac apps store I've found so far.

The videos are easy enough to scrub through, the events are shown on the timeline, I can delete & export videos easily, and I can even see the GPS coordinates where the recording was taken. All of it actually WORKS, which is surprisingly rare.

The UI is functional
