Light fixture adapter (LFA) security monitoring

摘要

A security monitoring system/method implementing distributed Internet-based environmental monitoring and control is disclosed. The system utilizes a smart gateway power controller (SGPC) configured for new/retrofit installation into electrical power distribution networks to allow controlled connection of an AC power source to a customer load device under direction of local or remote Internet direction. The SGPC may also be configured with sensors to detect motion, audio, video, visual images, smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, light/darkness, and other environmental data. The SGPC may be configured using a local web-based graphical user interface (GUI) to relay collected sensor information to a remote web browser hosted on a remote computing device. The GUI may incorporate a configuration/setup interface allowing mapping of sensor data to information associated with the sensor location and triggered security reports to occur based on collected sensor data.

1. A security monitoring system comprising a light fixture adapter (LFA) further comprising:
(a) source electrical input connector (SEIC); (b) sink electrical output connector (SEOC); (c) lamp dimmer control (LDC); (d) integrated computing device (ICD); (e) light fixture adapter sensor (LFAS); and (f) wireless communication interface (WCI); wherein: said SEIC, said SEOC, said LDC, said ICD, said LFAS, and said WCI are contained within a cylindrical housing configured to be installed between an existing electrical lamp and an existing electrical lamp fixture; said LDC is configured to control the flow of electrical current from said SEIC to said SEOC under direction of said ICD; said LFAS comprises an imaging sensor; said ICD is configured to monitor said LFAS; said ICD is configured to control said LDC in response to inputs from said LFAS; said ICD is configured to monitor said WCI; said ICD is configured to control said LDC in response to inputs from said WCI; said ICD is configured with a web-browser interface permitting remote monitoring of said LFAS is said WCI; said ICD is configured with a web-browser interface permitting remote control of said LDC via said WCI; said ICD is configured to execute instructions stored in a lamp fixture adapter program (LFAP); said LFAP is configured to allow local control and monitoring of said LDC in response to inputs from said LFAS; said LFAP is configured to allow local control and monitoring of said LFAS in response to inputs from said WCI; said LFAP is configured to allow said LFAS to be monitored and controlled by said web-browser interface; said LFAP is configured to allow reporting of LFAS detected events to said WCI; said LFAP is configured to be remotely programmable via said WCI via said web-browser interface; and said ICD is configured to collect data from said LFAS based on configuration information defined by a web-browser interface hosted by said ICD and transmit said collected data to a remote computing device via said WCI thru a wireless router.
