  • •Glovebox enables Tesla camera footage backup to NAS without cloud dependency.
  • •The system is built on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and is open-source.
  • •Automatic backups occur when the car is parked, ensuring no data loss.

A new system called Glovebox allows Tesla owners to back up their car's camera footage to a NAS using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. The setup connects to the car's USB port and automatically transfers video files over Wi-Fi to various NAS systems, including Unraid and Synology. Users can control the setup via a smartphone app, and the footage remains encrypted and within the user's local network unless cloud backup is configured. This system is designed for Tesla vehicles, and while it is open-source, compatibility with other car models is not guaranteed. The project emphasizes user control over data and eliminates the need for cloud subscriptions.
