CAMERA WITH WIRELESS POWER TRANSMITTER
First Claim
1. A combined video surveillance and access control system comprising:
- an access control device comprising;
a lock controller for selectively controlling actuation of a physical lock between a locked state and an unlocked state;
a sensor operable for sensing an occurrence of a presence of a machine readable physical token and for reading an identifier of the physical token;
a transceiver for wirelessly transmitting access data generated based on the presence of the physical token and the identifier read by the sensor;
at least one battery for supplying power to the lock controller, the sensor and the transceiver; and
a wireless power receiver operable for receiving wirelessly transmitted power and to charge the at least one battery using the received power; and
a camera device comprising;
at least one camera module operable for capturing a scene corresponding to a field of view of the camera and for generating image data of the captured scene;
a transceiver operable for receiving the access data transmitted from the battery-powered physical access control device;
a networking module operable for transmitting the image data and access data to an external networked device;
a wireless power transmitter operable for transmitting power wirelessly to the wireless power receiver of the access control device; and
at least one power supply operable for receiving power over a wired connection and supplying power to the camera, the transceiver, the network module and the wireless power transmitter.

Abstract
A camera device includes a camera module that captures a scene corresponding to a field of view of the camera module. A wireless power transmitter of the camera devices transmits wireless power to a battery-powered external sensing device. A transceiver is further operable for receiving from the external sensing device sensed data. A network module transmits the image and sensed data to an external networked device. A power supply receives power over a wired connection and supplies power to the camera module, transceiver, networking module and wireless transmitter. The external sensing device may be an access control device that includes a sensor for sensing the presence of a machine readable toke and reading an identifier of the physical token. The access control device further includes a lock controller for selectively locking and unlocking a physical lock.
