1. A method for operating a vehicle off-guard monitoring system of a vehicle, comprising:
capturing, while the vehicle is parked and a vehicle ignition of the vehicle is off, multiple sensor inputs defining sensor data from cameras mounted on the vehicle, the sensor data including images of an environment proximate to the vehicle;
comparing, using a controller in the vehicle, multiple images of fire hazards stored in a database to the multiple sensor inputs to identify at least one match exists between any one of the multiple sensor inputs and any one of the multiple images of fire hazards;
identifying a fire hazard in the environment proximate the vehicle when the at least one match exists;
generating a predefined warning signal identifying the fire hazard when the at least one match exists;
signaling the predefined warning signal to a user of the vehicle and performing a first fire hazard analysis check when the at least one match exists;
wherein the first fire hazard analysis check includes:
initiating a timer value;
periodically sensing a temperature in the environment proximate the vehicle;
comparing the timer value to a first fire hazard threshold;
comparing a temperature change in the environment proximate the vehicle, derived from the periodically sensed temperature, to a first temperature threshold;
terminating a charging operation of the vehicle when the timer value is greater than the first fire hazard threshold and the temperature change is greater than the first temperature threshold and performing a second fire analysis check;
wherein the second fire analysis check includes:
comparing the timer value to a second fire hazard threshold;
comparing another temperature change in the environment proximate the vehicle, derived from the periodically sensed temperature, to a second temperature threshold;
initiating a vehicle panic alarm when the timer value is greater than the second fire hazard threshold and the temperature change is greater than the second temperature threshold and performing a third fire analysis check;
wherein the third fire analysis check includes:
comparing the timer value to a third fire hazard threshold;
comparing another temperature change in the environment proximate the vehicle, derived from the periodically sensed temperature, to a third temperature threshold;
sharing images of the fire hazard from the multiple sensor inputs with the user of the vehicle via a software subscription service when the timer value is greater than the third fire hazard threshold and the temperature change is greater than the third temperature threshold; and
moving the vehicle autonomously away from the fire hazard.
