Abstract

A solar powered solution for providing security lighting and other functionality in remote locations is disclosed. The solution enables multiple functionalities to be incorporated into a modular system. Solar power is utilized where traditional power supply sources are lacking One or more batteries are utilized for power storage. High intensity, low power-consuming light fixtures are utilized and activated only when necessary, such as in low ambient light conditions. Motion detection switching may also be incorporated and the light cycle can be adjusted for length of duration to conserve battery power. The solar power may be used to operate other component devices. The system may further include a GPS addressable communication device to allow wireless communication with the system and the system components.

Claims

1. A remote security system comprising:

A solar panel module comprising at least one solar panel;

An energy storage module interconnected to the solar module and comprising at least on battery charging device and at least one rechargeable battery;

A light module interconnected to the energy storage module and comprising at least one light and a timer for controlling the time period the at least one light is turned on;

A motion sensor module interconnected to the energy storage module and comprising at least one motion sensor;

A control module interconnected to the light module and the motion sensor module, and comprising at least one controller and an energy storage device separate from the energy storage module, the controller controlling the operation of the light module and the motion sensor module; and

A communication module interconnecting the control module to a wireless network;

Wherein the at least one controller may send and receive signals over the wireless network.

2. The remote security system of claim 1 wherein the interconnection between the control module, the light module and the motion sensor module is at least one of wired or wireless.

3. The remote security system of claim 2 wherein the wireless connection between the control module, the light module and the motion sensor module comprises at least one of radio frequency, near field communication, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

4. The remote security system of claim 1 wherein the wired connection is at least one of Universal Serial Bus wire and Ethernet wire.

5. The remote security system of claim 1 wherein the control module contains firmware and the firmware is updated wirelessly or through a direct physical connection.

6. The remote security system of claim 1, further comprising one or more of the following a heater module having at least one heater, a camera module having at least one of a still camera and a video camera, a recorder module having at least one image recorder and memory for storing captured images, a data memory module having at least one memory for storing digital date regarding the system operation, and an alarm module having at least one alarm and at least one sensor operatively associated with the at least one alarm.

7. The remote security system of claim 1, wherein the at least one motion sensor has adjustable sensitivity and the sensitivity is adjustable by sending a wireless signal to the at least one controller.

8. The remote security system of claim 6 comprising an alarm module wherein upon activation of the at least on sensor, the at least one controller transmits a signal wirelessly to a remote location indicating that at least one alarm is activated.

9. The remote security system of claim 8 wherein the at least one controller receives a signal from a remote location and in response transmits at least one captured image to a remote location.

10. The remote security system of claim 1, further comprising an elongate post having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is secured relative to the ground and the second end is positioned above the ground, and wherein the solar panel module, energy storage module, light module, motion sensor module, control module and communication module are secured to the post at a position proximate the second end.
