Modular Floodlight System with Supplemental Motion Detection - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18263832 titled 'Modular Floodlight System with Supplemental Motion Detection

Abstract: This document describes techniques directed to a modular floodlight system with supplemental motion detection. The modular floodlight system includes a camera unit magnetically coupled to an accessory unit. The accessory unit includes passive infrared, PIR, sensors that expand and supplement motion-detection capabilities of the camera unit. For example, the accessory unit PIR sensor provides a PIR field of view, FOV, that is different than the PIR FOV of the camera unit's PIR sensor. Motion detected in either or both of the PIR FOVs is used to cause of change in functionality of the camera system such as, for example, activating image capture by the camera unit and/or activating one or more lights on the modular floodlight system.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Modular floodlight system with supplemental motion detection
  • Camera unit magnetically coupled to an accessory unit
  • Accessory unit includes PIR sensors to expand motion-detection capabilities
  • Different FOV for PIR sensors in camera unit and accessory unit
  • Motion detection triggers changes in camera system functionality

Potential Applications: - Home security systems - Outdoor lighting for residential and commercial properties - Surveillance systems for public spaces - Wildlife monitoring in natural habitats

Problems Solved: - Enhanced motion detection capabilities - Improved security and surveillance measures - Efficient use of lighting resources
