1. A computer-implemented method of detecting a predefined human activity in a region of interest (ROI) associated with a parked vehicle registered with a vehicle monitoring service, the method comprising:
- the vehicle monitoring service capturing a video stream of a parking area including the parked vehicle registered with the vehicle monitoring service;
the vehicle monitoring service identifying the parked vehicle in the video stream;
the vehicle monitoring service processing the video to detect the predefined human activity with respect to the region of interest (ROI) associated with the parked vehicle registered with the vehicle monitoring service, the predefined human activity including a person detected within the ROI and behaving in a predefined manner; and
the vehicle monitoring service communicating an alert to a user associated with the parked vehicle if the predefined human activity is detected.
