A vehicle occupant detection system includes a housing. A microprocessor is mounted in the housing and is programmed to detect an engine engagement status of a vehicle. A camera is mounted on the housing and is directed forward of the housing. The camera electrically coupled to the microprocessor is programmed with facial recognition software to compare facial images against images captured by the camera. A motion sensor mounted on the housing detects motion forward of the housing. The camera captures an image when the motion sensor detects motion. A first condition is defined when the motion sensor detects motion, the camera captures an image prompting a facial recognition match and the microprocessor detects the vehicle is parked. A sound emitter is mounted on the housing and is electrically coupled to the microprocessor and emit a low decibel sound when the first condition is first attained.
