Default Mystery Headlamp Flash when PARKED!

Just fitted CCTV which alerted to me my parked up for a couple of Covid-19 weeks '06 CTTS headlamps flashing on then off. Happened twice in the middle of the night with a 2 hour interval. Just done it again, now just the o/s headlamp.

The only irregularity is the battery has been recently charged and the bonnet is just on the latch not shut tight.

Heard something about Boxster indicators flash to indicate battery gone too low for the alarm to work correctly?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Russ.

Micro switch on one of my door locks would cause errors like this

Thank you. As the car was left with bonnet on the latch and the alarm on this is exactly what I got and now no more alerts from CCTV. I took it when setting the alarm with the fob all was well as doors locked, lights flashed as normal. Something to contemplate when out and about with keyless entry if the tailgate wasn't shut properly or indeed a failed micro switch.
