Video apparatus and method for identifying and commissioning devices

摘要

An apparatus for concurrently identifying and commissioning devices including a video recording device and a gateway device. The video recording device records and processes video images of the devices, and determines identification information and a geolocation corresponding to each of the devices, where the geolocation is determined by combining known coordinates and dimensions of an object within the video images, and a location of each of the devices relative to the video recording device, and where the video images comprise unique encoded luminous transmissions simultaneously transmitted from the each of the devices. The gateway device is coupled to the video recording device and the devices, and the identification information, and commissions the each of the devices onto a network.
