• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

So, We were shopping at the Home Good (for a break) after almost 3 hour drive. My UVO Link app sent me a warning (iPhone) that there is a "dangerous" situation inside our Telly--it detects some movements inside the vehicle and that I have to immediately correct the situation. I went to check on the Telly, opened the door to look for movements going on. I then quickly realized that the plants in the second row were being blown by the wind coming in--I had left all the windows slightly open (about 2 inch) to keep it from getting too hot inside because it was a sunny and humid day. The leaves were ever so slightly moved by the breeze coming in, lol!

Good to know that system works.
 
I became aware early on when my visiting son and his wife came to visit us one week after I bought the Telly! We stopped for 15 minutes to buy ice cream while the Telly was parked just in front of the store. My wife decided to wait in the Telly. While waiting to be served, the Telly started blaring and lights blinking crazily! It detects my wife's movements ("I was just texting on my iPhone and the car went crazy"). Lol!
 
For sure it works. I remember once we were sitting by the beach, and my little boy was sleeping in the car with the windows lowered down. The car kept on honking whenever he moves.

Where is the camera used for occupant alert?

It’s not a camera, it’s an ultrasonic sensor. Located above the middle of the third row.

Here is a picture someone posted from one of the 250 times people have asked how to “get those rear lights to turn on.” 😆

With your windows down, it would have surely alerted you whether or not there was a person in the back. The air blowing past the sensors will do that.
