Abstract

A lamp for a camera-attachable streetlight is provided, which includes a camera-integrated bulb module. In the camera-integrated bulb module, there is a bulb portion, a camera module has a camera for capturing a predetermined area and a transceiver for transmitting data captured by the camera to an external server, a connector is inserted into a commercial socket, for receiving an external commercial power and has the same structure as a commercial connector inserted into a commercial socket, for receiving a commercial power, and a power distributor distributes the power received through the connector to the bulb portion and the camera module.

Claims (27)

1. A lamp for a camera-attachable streetlight, comprising:

a camera-integrated bulb module that comprises:

a bulb portion;

a camera module having a camera for capturing a predetermined area and a transceiver for transmitting data captured by the camera to an external server;

a connector for connecting to an electrical power source, for receiving electrical power; and

a power distributor for distributing the power received through the connector to the bulb portion and the camera module,

a plurality of remote terminals for viewing the captured data,

wherein an identification number of a mobile communication network is allocated to the camera module for individual identification,

temporarily stores the captured data and transmits the captured data to the external server via the mobile communication network,

a case having a reflection surface on a bottom surface and a cover being one of protectively transparent and semitransparent, wherein the case and the cover are outside the lamp and the camera-integrated bulb module is inside the lamp;

wherein the camera is installed at the center of the case, and the cover has a portion enabling the camera capturing operation; and

wherein the bulb portion, the connector, the camera module, and the power distributor are integrated together in the camera-integrated bulb module.

2. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the connector is configured so as to be inserted into a socket provided in the lamp.

3. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the bulb portion includes a plurality of bulbs and the camera module is installed at the center of the plurality of bulbs.

4. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the bulb portion includes a plurality of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting bulbs and the camera module is installed at the center of the plurality of LED lighting bulbs.

5. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the camera module operates in a visible light range.

6. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver communicates with the server by cable or wirelessly.

7. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the camera module transmits the captured data in a signal of a mobile communication network.

8. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the bulb portion includes a plurality of bulbs and the camera module is installed at the center of the plurality of bulbs.

9. The lamp of claim 2 , wherein the bulb portion includes a plurality of bulbs and the camera module is installed at the center of the plurality of bulbs.

10. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the bulb portion includes a plurality of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting bulbs and the camera module is installed at the center of the plurality of LED lighting bulbs.

11. The lamp of claim 2 , wherein the bulb portion includes a plurality of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting bulbs and the camera module is installed at the center of the plurality of LED lighting bulbs.

12. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the camera module operates in a visible light range.

13. The lamp of claim 2 , wherein the camera module operates in a visible light range.

14. The lamp of claim 2 , wherein the camera module externally transmits the captured data in real time, or temporarily stores the captured data in an internal memory and externally transmits the captured data at a predetermined time.

15. The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the camera module transmits the captured data in a signal of a mobile communication network.

16. The lamp of claim 2 , wherein the camera module transmits the captured data in a signal of a mobile communication network.
