Systems for a luminaire
A system includes a luminaire having a head configured for rotation relative to a fixed enclosure of the luminaire. The head includes a camera access port. The system also includes a camera module configured to be removably mounted to the camera access port of the luminaire, and a cover plate configured to be removably mounted to the luminaire head to cover the camera access port. A weight of the cover plate approximately matches a weight of the camera module.
1 . A system, comprising:
a luminaire comprising a head configured for rotation relative to a fixed enclosure of the luminaire, wherein the head comprises a camera access port;
a camera module configured to be removably mounted to the camera access port of the luminaire; and
a cover plate configured to be removably mounted to the luminaire head to cover the camera access port, wherein a weight of the cover plate approximately matches a weight of the camera module, and wherein when the camera module is mounted to the camera access port, the cover plate is removed from the luminaire head.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the camera module comprises a mounting base, and wherein the mounting base comprises a gasket to seal the luminaire to an IP65 rating.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the cover plate comprises a gasket configured to seal the luminaire to an IP65 rating.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the luminaire comprises a signal connector and a power connector configured to be electrically coupled to corresponding signal and power connectors of the camera module through the camera access port, wherein the signal connector of the luminaire is electrically coupled to an output connector on a fixed enclosure of the luminaire.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the cover plate comprises a plurality of removable counterweight modules on an inner face of the cover plate.
6 . A luminaire, comprising:
a head configured for rotation relative to a fixed enclosure of the luminaire and comprising:
a camera access port; and
a cover plate configured to be mounted to the head to cover the camera access port, wherein the cover plate is removable to allow mounting of a camera module to the head, wherein a weight of the cover plate approximately matches a weight of the camera module,
wherein when the camera module is mounted to the camera access port, the cover plate is removed from the luminaire head.
7 . The luminaire of claim 6 , wherein the cover plate comprises a gasket configured to seal the luminaire to an IP65 rating.
8 . The luminaire of claim 7 , wherein the head comprises a mating region that surrounds the camera access port, and wherein the mating region is configured to interface with either a) the gasket of the cover plate to provide the IP65 rating when the cover plate is mounted to the head, or b) a gasket of the camera module configured to provide the IP65 rating when the camera module is mounted to the head.
9 . The luminaire of claim 6 , further comprising a signal connector and a power connector configured to be coupled to corresponding signal and power connectors of the camera module through the camera access port, wherein the signal connector of the luminaire is electrically coupled to an output connector on the fixed enclosure of the luminaire.
10 . The luminaire of claim 6 , wherein the cover plate comprises a plurality of removable counterweight modules on an inner face of the cover plate.
11 . The luminaire of claim 6 , further comprising:
a first sensor configured to interact with a corresponding second sensor of the camera module when the camera module is coupled to the luminaire; and
a control system coupled to the first sensor, wherein the control system is configured to generate a signal that indicates that the camera module is coupled to the luminaire based on the first sensor interacting with the second sensor.
12 . The luminaire of claim 11 , wherein the first sensor comprises an electromechanical sensor, a magnetic sensor, or an optical sensor.
13 . A camera module, comprising:
a camera configured to generate image data based on light received from a field of view of the camera; and
a mounting base coupled to the camera, wherein the mounting base is configured to be removably mounted to an external surface of a luminaire and to cover a camera access port of the luminaire, wherein the mounting base is configured to support and hold the camera external to the luminaire when the mounting base is mounted to the external surface of the luminaire, and wherein the mounting base comprises a gasket configured to seal the luminaire to an IP65 rating,
wherein the gasket is configured to seal to a mating region on the external surface of the luminaire, and
wherein the mating region comprises at least one of a recess that is configured to interface with the gasket, a microtextured surface, and a polished surface.
14 . The camera module of claim 13 , further comprising a signal connector and a power connector coupled to the camera and routed through the mounting base, wherein the signal connector and the power connector are configured to be coupled to corresponding signal and power connectors of the luminaire through the camera access port.
15 . The camera module of claim 13 , wherein the camera module is configured to provide a signal to the luminaire when coupled to the luminaire, wherein the signal is an indication that the camera is electrically coupled to the luminaire.
16 . The camera module of claim 13 , further comprising a first sensor configured to interact with a corresponding second sensor of the luminaire when the camera module is coupled to the luminaire, wherein the first sensor interacting with the second sensor is configured to indicate that the camera module is coupled to the luminaire.
17 . The camera module of claim 16 , wherein the first sensor comprises an electromechanical sensor, a magnetic sensor, or an optical sensor.
