An alert system configured to output an alert about an occupant being left in a vehicle includes an external-environment camera, a determiner, and an alert controller. The external-environment camera captures images at least one of which includes the occupant outside the vehicle. The determiner determines whether a child including an infant is likely to have been left in the vehicle. The alert controller outputs an alert if the child is likely to have been left in the vehicle. The determiner determines whether the child is likely to have been left in the vehicle, based on a change in the images from one of a presence state and an absence state of a person or an object outside the vehicle in a first image of the images to another of the presence state and the absence state of the person or the object in a second image of the images.
