Luminaire with an integrated camera
A luminaire includes a terminal block that receives power from a power source, a light source power supply electrically coupled to the terminal block and to a light source, a power converter electrically coupled to the terminal block and to a power over Ethernet injector, a camera coupled to the power over Ethernet injector, and a transceiver electrically coupled to the power converter. The power over Ethernet injector can supply power to and receive data from the camera. The transceiver is also coupled to the power over Ethernet injector and can communicate data to and receive data from the camera.
1. A luminaire comprising:
a terminal block that receives power from a power source;
a light source power supply electrically coupled to the terminal block and to a light source;
a power converter electrically coupled to the terminal block and to a power over Ethernet injector,
a camera electrically coupled to the power over Ethernet injector, wherein the camera and the light source are disposed on the luminaire such that the camera is located outside a direct light distribution of the light source; and
a transceiver electrically coupled to the power converter.
2. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the light source power supply is a driver and the light source is one or more light emitting diodes.
3. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the power converter is an AC to DC power converter.
4. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the power over Ethernet injector supplies power to and receives data from the camera.
5. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is electrically coupled to the power over Ethernet injector and the power over Ethernet injector supplies data from the camera to the transceiver.
6. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is electrically coupled to the camera and receives data from the camera.
7. The luminaire of claim 6 , wherein the transceiver transmits the data received from the camera via one of a cellular telephone network, a Wifi network, a Zigbee network, and a fiber optic network.
8. The luminaire of claim 6 , wherein the transceiver receives control signals from a remote location and provides the control signals to the camera.
9. The luminaire of claim 1 , wherein the camera and the light source are mounted on a bottom face of the luminaire.
10. The luminaire of claim 1 ,
wherein the power over Ethernet injector and the transceiver are disposed within a component housing of the luminaire and attached to an interior housing side of the component housing; and
wherein the camera is disposed within the component housing and attached to a door of the component housing.
11. The luminaire of claim 10 , wherein the component housing comprises a thermal shield.
12. The luminaire of claim 11 , wherein the thermal shield is disposed on an interior top surface of the component housing.
13. A luminaire comprising:
a component housing, the component housing defining a cavity that comprises:
a terminal block that receives power from a power source,
a power converter electrically coupled to the terminal block,
a power over Ethernet injector electrically coupled to the power converter,
a transceiver that receives power from the power converter, and
a thermal shield;
a light source power supply electrically coupled to the terminal block and to a light source; and
a camera disposed on an underside of the luminaire and outside a zone of direct light from the light source.
14. The luminaire of claim 13 , wherein the thermal shield is disposed on an inner top surface of the component housing.
15. The luminaire of claim 13 , wherein the thermal shield comprises a layer of metallic foil and a layer of fiberglass.
16. The luminaire of claim 13 , further comprising a camera electrically coupled to the power over Ethernet injector.
17. The luminaire of claim 16 , wherein the camera supplies data to the transceiver.
18. A luminaire comprising:
a terminal block that receives power from a power source;
a light source power supply electrically coupled to the terminal block and to a light source;
a power converter electrically coupled to the terminal block and to a power over Ethernet injector;
a camera electrically coupled to the power over Ethernet injector;
a transceiver electrically coupled to the power converter;
wherein the power over Ethernet injector and the transceiver are disposed within a component housing of the luminaire and attached to an interior housing side of the component housing; and
wherein the camera is disposed within the component housing and attached to a door of the component housing.
