Abstract

Disclosed herein is a sensor lighting which is installed in a building such as a dwelling. The sensor lighting according to the present invention is provided with an image recording unit that includes a sensor module, a camera module and a recording module. The sensor lighting includes a base body, a removable cover body and a light transmission body. The recording module is mounted to the base body, and the sensor module and the camera module are mounted to the removable cover body such that the sensor module and the camera module are partially exposed to the outside of the removable cover body. Therefore, the sensor lighting not only can substitute for the existing sensor lighting but can also function as an image recording device.

Claims

1. A sensor lighting with an image recording unit, the sensor lighting comprising:

a base body to which an LED light source provided with a converter is mounted;

a light transmission cover allowing light emitted from the LED light source to transmit; and

a detecting sensor detecting an approaching person, whereby when the detecting sensor detects the approaching person, the LED light source of the base body is turned on so that light emitted from the LED light source is radiated into a target space after passing through the light transmission cover,

wherein a separate removable cover body is coupled to a lower end of the base body in such a way that the light transmission cover is seated onto the removable cover body, and

a recording module is provided in the base body, and a camera module and a sensor module are provided in the removable cover body so that when the sensor module detects the approaching person, the camera module records images, and recorded data produced by the camera module is stored in the recording module.

2. The sensor lighting as set forth in claim 1, wherein an opening cover is hinged to a side surface of the base body, and the recording module is disposed inside the base body at a position corresponding to the opening cover,

wherein a memory card is inserted into or removed from the recording module after the opening cover opens.

3. The sensor lighting as set forth in claim 1, wherein the removable cover body has an inclined portion on a side surface thereof, the inclined portion being reduced in width from a top to a bottom, and the camera module and the sensor module are provided in the inclined portion, whereby the camera module records the images with respect to an inclined direction in response to an angle of the inclined portion.

4. The sensor lighting as set forth in claim 3, wherein locking protrusions are provided on an inner surface of the inclined portion of the removable cover body, each of the locking protrusions being provided with a hook, and the camera module and the sensor module are fastened to the removable cover body by the corresponding locking protrusions.

5. The sensor lighting as set forth in claim 3, wherein the camera module and the sensor module respectively comprise at least two camera modules and at least two sensor modules provided in the inclined portion of the removable cover body such that the camera modules and sensor modules are oriented in different directions, so that the camera modules and sensor modules record images with respect to different directions.
