1. A vehicle temperature alarm system, comprising:
- a sound detector, motion detector and a temperature sensor adapted for a vehicle;
a power supply for supplying power to the sound detector, the motion detector and the temperature sensor;
an alarm attached to the sound detector, the motion detector and the temperature sensor;
a listen mode where the sound detector is powered on by the power supply, and both the motion detector and the temperature sensor are turned off from the power supply;
a temperature sensor power mode where the temperature sensor is turned on from the power supply when the sound detector picks up a sound in the vehicle; and
a motion detector power mode where the motion detector is turned on from the power supply when a selected temperature is detected by the temperature sensor, and wherein the alarm is activated when a selected motion level is detected in the vehicle by the motion detector.

Abstract
Systems, devices and methods of using sound detectors, motion detectors and temperature sensors inside vehicles for activating alarms to protect vehicle occupants that can include babies, children, infirm, elderly and pets. Mounted sound detector(s), motion detector(s) and temperature sensor are used wherein detected sound from the sound detector can activate the motion temperature sensor and motion detected to activate adjacent or remote alarms when unsafe cold and warm interior vehicle temperatures are reached. Low battery indicators such as audible alarms, chirp sounds and lights can be used to indicate low battery power supplies.

12. A method of activating a temperature alarm inside a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
-
mounting a sound detector and a motion detector and a temperature sensor adjacent to a vehicle; supplying power to the sound detector; continuously listening for a selected sound level by the sound detector, when the motion detector and the temperature sensor are turned off from the power; supplying the power to the temperature sensor when the selected sound level by the sound detector is reached; supplying the power to the motion detector when a selected temperature level sensed by the temperature sensor is reached; and activating the alarm when a selected motion level detected by the motion detector is reached. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A vehicle temperature alarm system, comprising:
-
a motion detector for sensing motion in a vehicle; a temperature sensor for sensing temperature in the vehicle; a power supply for supplying power to the motion detector and the temperature sensor; and an alarm attached to the motion detector and temperature sensor; a power save mode for turning on the temperature sensor to be powered by the power supply, while the motion detector is turned off, wherein the motion detector starts scanning for motion inside the vehicle when a measured temperature in the vehicle reaches a selected temperature, and wherein the alarm is activated when a selected motion level detected by the motion detector is reached; a sound detector for sensing sound inside the vehicle, when the power supply supplies power to the sound detector a listen mode, wherein the sound detector is turned on to the power supply, and both the motion detector and the temperature sensor are turned off from the power supply; a temperature sensor power mode for when the temperature sensor is turned on when the sound detector picks up a sound inside of the vehicle; and a motion detector power mode for when the motion detector is turned on when a selected temperature is detected by the temperature sensor, and wherein the alarm is activated when motion is detected inside of the vehicle by the motion detector.
