Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting fixtures, and more specifically, to a camera lighting system. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, lighting fixtures have integrated other functions in addition to traditional lighting functions. For example, there are now lighting fixtures with cameras on the market. These fixtures use images captured by cameras to sense activities in the environment, thereby enabling the lights to turn on and off automatically and to monitor the environment.

[0003] Existing lighting fixtures with cameras include a lighting component, a camera component, and a main power supply. The lighting component and camera component are used for lighting and recording, respectively. The main power supply is connected to the mains power and supplies power to both the lighting component and the camera component. This power supply method requires an additional housing to house the main power supply and a waterproof design for the entire housing, which leads to inconvenient installation and increased costs. Utility Model Content

The first power supply is connected to the control unit and the camera. The lighting assembly includes a second power supply and a lighting element. The second power supply is connected to the lighting element. The control unit is used to control the on / off state of the second power supply.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the camera assembly and the lighting assembly are powered by a first power supply and a second power supply, respectively. The first and second power supplies are independent of each other, improving installation flexibility. In practical implementation, the first and second power supplies can be housed within the outer casings of the camera assembly and the lighting assembly, respectively. Waterproofing is achieved using the existing waterproof structures of the camera and lighting assemblies, eliminating the need for additional waterproofing design, thus simplifying the structure and reducing costs. The control unit can control the on / off state of the second power supply, thereby enabling the lighting assembly to be controlled by images captured by the camera, achieving automatic start / stop of the lighting assembly and energy saving.

[0007] Furthermore, the first power supply includes a first live wire connection terminal and a first neutral wire connection terminal, which are respectively connected to the live wire and the neutral wire.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the first power supply is connected to the live wire and neutral wire of the mains power through the first live wire connection terminal and the first neutral wire connection terminal, which can independently supply power to the camera, keep the camera running continuously, and realize continuous monitoring and shooting.

[0009] In one embodiment, the control element is a switch, and the second power supply includes a second live wire connection terminal and a second neutral wire connection terminal. The second neutral wire connection terminal is connected to the neutral wire, and the switch is connected between the live wire and the second live wire connection terminal.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the control unit controls the connection and disconnection of the second live wire connection terminal and the live wire through a switch, thereby controlling the start and stop of the lighting device. Compared with the existing method of sending PWM control signals through signal lines, this solution does not require additional signal lines, thus simplifying the structure and facilitating wiring.

[0011] Furthermore, the switch is a thyristor, a relay, or a mechanical switch.

[0012] In another embodiment, the control unit is a wireless transmitting unit, and the lighting assembly includes a wireless receiving unit. The wireless receiving unit is connected to the second power supply. The wireless transmitting unit transmits wireless control signals, and the wireless receiving unit receives the wireless control signals and controls the second power supply to switch on and off.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the control unit controls the on / off of the second power supply through wireless signals, thereby controlling the start and stop of the lighting unit, making the lighting module and the camera module completely independent, further simplifying the overall structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the wireless transmitting unit and the wireless receiving unit are one of a Bluetooth module, an infrared module, or a cellular network module.

[0015] Furthermore, the lighting element is an LED light panel.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: the camera assembly and the lighting assembly are powered by a first power supply and a second power supply respectively, and the first and second power supplies are independent of each other, which improves installation flexibility. In specific implementation, the first and second power supplies can be respectively located within the camera assembly and the lighting assembly, utilizing the original waterproof structures of the camera assembly and the lighting assembly for waterproofing, eliminating the need for additional waterproofing measures, thereby simplifying the structure and reducing costs. The control component can control the on / off state of the second power supply, thereby enabling the lighting component to be controlled by the image captured by the camera, achieving automatic start and stop of the lighting component, and achieving energy saving.

The illumination assembly 2 includes a second power supply 21 and an illumination component 22. The second power supply 21 is connected to the illumination component 22. The control component 12 is used to control the on / off state of the second power supply 21.

[0024] For example, the first power supply 11 and the second power supply 21 can use existing power supply circuits, the lighting component 2 is used for illumination, the camera component 1 is used for monitoring and sensing, and the lighting element 22 can be an LED light panel. In specific use, the camera 13 can sense the surrounding environment. When the camera 13 detects activity within its shooting range, the control unit 12 controls the second power supply 21 to turn on after receiving the signal from the camera 13, thus activating the lighting element 22 and turning on the illumination. When there is no activity within the shooting range of the camera 13, the control unit 12 controls the second power supply 21 to turn off after a preset time, thereby realizing the automatic start and stop of the lighting element 22 and achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0025] The camera assembly 1 and the lighting assembly 2 are powered by a first power supply 11 and a second power supply 21, respectively. The first power supply 11 and the second power supply 21 are independent of each other, which can improve the flexibility of installation. In specific implementation, the first power supply 11 and the second power supply 21 can be set inside the camera assembly 1 and the lighting assembly 2, respectively, and waterproofing can be achieved by utilizing the original waterproof structure of the camera assembly 1 and the lighting assembly 2. No additional waterproofing is required, thereby simplifying the structure and reducing costs.

[0026] The first power supply 11 includes a first live wire connection terminal 111 and a first neutral wire connection terminal 112, which are respectively connected to the live wire and the neutral wire.

It is understood that in this embodiment, the second power supply 21 also includes a second live wire connection terminal 211 and a second neutral wire connection terminal 212, which are respectively connected to the live wire and neutral wire of the mains power supply.
