HOME SECURITY LIGHT BULB ADAPTER
A home security pathway fixture includes an elongated body having a top end and a bottom end. A spike is coupled to the bottom end and a head unit is coupled to the top end. The head unit includes at least a light emitter. The home security pathway fixture further includes a camera with night vision capabilities, a motion sensor, a wireless communications interface, and a processor. The camera is switched on when the motion sensor senses a motion. The processor then sends video signals to a remote device over a network via the wireless communications interface.
1 . A home security pathway fixture comprising:
an elongated body;
a head unit at a top end of the elongated body;
a spike at a bottom end of the elongated body;
a power source;
a camera electrically connected to the power source;
a motion sensor electrically connected to the power source;
a light emitter coupled to the head unit and electrically connected to the power source;
a wireless communications interface electrically connected to the power source; and
a processor electrically connected to the power source, the camera, the motion sensor, the light emitter, and the wireless communications interface, wherein
when the motion sensor senses a motion, the camera is activated and the processor sends video signals captured by the camera to a remote device via the wireless communications interface.
2 . The home security pathway fixture of claim 1 , wherein the head unit is a housing, wherein the camera and the motion sensor are coupled to the housing.
3 . The home security pathway fixture of claim 1 , wherein the elongated body, the head unit, and the spike are releasably coupled to one another.
4 . The home security pathway fixture of claim 1 , further comprising a dusk and dawn sensor.
5 . The home security pathway fixture of claim 4 , wherein when the motion sensor senses the motion and the dusk and dawn sensor senses light, the camera is activated, the light emitter is not activated, and the processor sends video signals captured by the camera to the remote device via the wireless communications interface.
6 . The home security pathway fixture of claim 4 , wherein when the motion sensor senses the motion and the dusk and dawn sensor does not sense light, the camera is activated, the light emitter is activated, and the processor sends video signals captured by the camera to the remote device via the wireless communications interface.
7 . The home security pathway fixture of claim 1 , wherein the remote device wirelessly communicates with the processor via the wireless communications interface to turn the motion sensor on and off.
8 . The home security pathway fixture of claim 1 , wherein the video signals are a live feed of the camera.
9 . The home security pathway fixture of claim 2 , further comprising a speaker and a microphone coupled to the housing and each electrically connected to the power source, wherein the microphone is switched on when the motion sensor senses a motion, wherein the processor sends audio signals to the remote device via the wireless communications interface.
10 . The home security pathway fixture of claim 9 , wherein the remote device wirelessly communicates with the processor via the wireless communications interface to control an output of the speaker.
