Scout Security System?

[eherlihy]

Will a security system, a-la Tesla’s Sentry Mode and Rivian’s Gear Guard be available? Make it an option, and I believe that it will be popular.

ONE of the (many) reasons that I walked away from my Lucid deposit was their lack of the availability of such a system in a "premium" vehicle.

With all of the cameras that are used in today's vehicles, this should be feasible.

I agree and will add to include a dashcam feature while driving. I don't understand why Tesla is the only company that has this.

I found out this past Christmas that dashcams are a big want for the younger generations (daughter in high school informed me).

When no witnesses stop to give a statement, it's your word vs theirs....unless you have it all on video.

I thought of about something that would be a big question on this sort of feature.
If you can watch the video feed online, or save the videos on the cloud, will there be a monthly subscription to use the feature?

That could be a feature that people would pay extra for. My sister has a home security camera that stores her security video to the cloud for which she pays a monthly subscription.

However, there would still be the need for some onboard data storage. If nothing else, it would be necessary as a cache for those times when the vehicle is out of range of WiFi or whatever cell provider that the Scout company chooses. I would be happy if the video and telemetry (?!?) data could be downloaded via the UI to a USB device plugged into one of the USB ports.

Toyota also offers this. When I go pretend car shopping and build cars that I don’t plan on buying, I add it as a feature. They offer it as something dealer installed in the rear-view mirror or as a non-Toyota-brand thing.

“Save to iCloud / Google Drive / DropBox / Our subscription service because you are not technically savvy” w/data cache?
Bluetooth prob. fine for file transfer... I’d imagine you’re not sharing state secrets/classified videos or something. USB would probably be faster. Idk

This. I’d really like to see this feature. So many benefits. It’s a waste to have these wonderful cameras go to sleep. Let’s put em to work!
