Parking lights coming on randomly

[.Eduardo]

Since I installed my new dashcam, parking mode is being a little revealing. One oddity was noticing that my parking lights come on randomly.
I have video of it at 20:17, then at 21:17, also at 22:04 and then at 23:16.
Could this be our iPhone getting in and out of range? The phone is "set as a key".
Keyfobs are far hanging static (not being moved around).

Anyone have this happening? Lasts on for 10 seconds each time.
Video below shows the last it happened before the camera shutdown to save battery.

That would be welcome lighting going off sporadically. Signal variations to your phone or fob will make it think you are approaching. Signal variations could be caused by something as simple as walking around inside your house. Supposedly welcome lighting will be disabled after 3-4 activations without opening a door.

Also FYI, I do not recommend using parking mode on a dash cam because it drains the 12V battery. The 12V battery in the Mach-E is smaller than a regular car. Voltage cutoff shouldn't be set any lower than 12.4-12.5V.

If you see the below messages, you probably need to adjust your setup to avoid battery drain:

@Mach-Lee thanks!
No messages about the electrical system nor the battery so far. I will set the cut-off higher to 12.5V - it is set to 12.3V right now. Thanks for the tip!
