If Sentry Mode is enabled, how much electricity does it consume in one night?
According to comprehensive tests by engineers, in an outdoor environment of about 10°C, enabling Sentry Mode for one night (10 hours) consumes approximately 1.2-2.5 kWh of power.
Xiaomi SU7's Sentry Mode accesses six cameras to record in real-time, so its energy consumption is slightly higher than that of vehicles using a four-camera recording solution.
The actual power consumption of Sentry Mode is also closely related to ambient temperature and the number of triggered alarms. That is, the lower the ambient temperature, the higher the power consumption; the more frequent the alarms, the higher the power consumption. Recently, Xiaomi SU7 has been very popular, and parking in public places may attract onlookers, which somewhat increases the probability of triggering Sentry Mode alarms.
If you want to save energy, you can enable the "Automatically Turn Off at Frequently Used Locations" feature. After enabling this feature, when the user is at the home or company set in the map, Sentry Mode will automatically turn off.
