Abstract

The invention relates to a method for installing mixed equipment (for example, but limited to: a video surveillance camera, and/or a wireless telecommunications terminal connection, and/or a radar) on urban equipment, in particular street illumination equipment. The invention is characterized in that the mixed equipment is not permanently powered and the electronic circuits of the mixed equipment are connected to a supply circuit having a rechargeable energy storing system and a battery charger connected to the power supply circuit of the urban equipment and the mixed equipment is provided with a wireless transmitting circuit in the form of a reverse link.

Claims

1. A method of installing mixed equipment on urban equipment, comprising the steps of:

providing the mixed equipment; and

mounting the mixed equipment on the urban equipment;

wherein the urban equipment is not permanently powered, and electronic circuits of said mixed equipment are connected to a supply circuit comprising a rechargeable energy storing system and a battery charger linked to the power supply circuit of said urban equipment and in that said mixed equipment is equipped with a wireless transmitter circuit in the form of a reverse link.

2. The method of installing mixed equipment on urban equipment according to claim 1, wherein said mixed equipment is installed on a pole of the urban equipment, and wherein a hole is made in the pole to allow passage of electric cables connecting the supply circuit of said mixed equipment to the power supply circuit.

3. The method of installing mixed equipment on urban equipment according to claim 1, wherein said mixed equipment acquires information and the information acquired by the mixed equipment is transmitted by a radio transmission card operating in radio frequency bands comprised between 2 and 11 GHz.

4. The method of installing mixed equipment on urban equipment according to claim 3, wherein the information acquired by the mixed equipment is transmitted by a radio transmission card operating in radio frequency bands comprised between 3.4 and 3.8 GHz (WiMAX).

5. The method of installing mixed equipment on urban equipment according to claim 1, wherein said mixed equipment comprises a wireless telecommunication base and in that the wireless telecommunication base of the mixed equipment is WiMAX compatible (IEEE 802.16).

6. The method of installing mixed equipment on urban equipment according to claim 1, wherein said mixed equipment comprises a video surveillance camera.

7. The method of installing mixed equipment on urban equipment according to claim 1, wherein said mixed equipment comprises a radar unit.

8. Urban equipment comprising mixed equipment, which is powered by connecting to a non-permanent power supply of the urban equipment, and by an energy storage system which can be recharged by a battery charger connected to said non-permanent power supply of the urban equipment.
