Abstract

Disclosed is a multifunctional home monitoring system combined with a lighting device, which includes a main housing that includes a main control board. The main housing is provided therein with a detection module for detecting the environment, a control module for connection with household electric appliances, a status indicator assembly for reminding purposes, a speaker and microphone for receiving and recognition, and an LED light assembly for illumination purpose, which are electrically connected to the main control board. A lower housing is mounted to a lower side of the main housing. The lower housing includes a secondary illumination light arranged therein and being further provided with an image capture module for image recording. The image capture module is coupled to a body detection module, a biological recognition module, and a motor arranged in the main housing to be driven by the motor.

Claims

1. A multifunctional home monitoring system, comprising:

a main housing, which has an interior space in which a main control board is arranged, the main control board being electrically connected to a detection module, a control module, a status indicator assembly, a light-emitting diode (LED) light assembly, a speaker, and a microphone, the detection module being operable to detect a target object and conditions of surrounding environment and generating and feeding monitoring data back to the main control board to be displayed by the status indicator assembly, the LED light assembly having various color temperatures for illumination;

a lower housing mounted to a lower side of the main housing, the lower housing comprising a secondary illumination light mounted therein, an image capture module being mounted in the secondary illumination light, the secondary illumination light being operable in combination with the LED light assembly to provide multiple illumination modes, the status indicator assembly being arranged in the lower housing to clearly display indications of various conditions; and

a motor arranged inside the main housing, the detection module being coupled to the motor, so that the motor is operable to drive the image capture module to rotate in order to cover an expanded range for image recording of environment or the target object;

wherein the status indicator assembly comprises;

a smoke indicator, a as indicator, and an IP setting indicator, which are electrically connected to the main control board to emit light for indication.

2. The multifunctional home monitoring system according to claim 1, wherein the detection module further comprises:

a temperature/humidity detection module that is operable to detect temperature/humidity of the environment;

an air detection module that is operable to detect contents of suspending particles in the environment outside the main housing;

a gas detection module that is operable to detect hazard gas in the environment outside the main housing;

a smoke detection module that is operable to detect smoke in the environment outside the main housing;

a body detection module that is operable to detect temperature and motion of the target object; and

a biological recognition module that is operable to detect location of the target object, each of these module feeding data back to the main control board for determining setting standards of the target object and the environment and activating/de-activating the corresponding functions.

3. The multifunctional home monitoring system according to claim 2, wherein the detection module is mounted in one of the main housing and the lower housing.

4. The multifunctional home monitoring system according to claim 2, wherein the image capture module is mounted in one of the main housing and the lower housing.

5. The multifunctional home monitoring system according to claim 1, wherein the image capture module is rotatable in a range of 0-360 degrees.

6. A multifunctional home monitoring system, comprising:

a light body, which comprises a main housing and a lower housing;

wherein the main housing comprises an image capture module, and a gas detection module, a temperature/humidity detection module, an air detection module, and a smoke detection module arranged therein to detect outside conditions and record images and being further provided with a speaker and a microphone for voice reminders;

an air quality indicator is mounted on a surface of the lower housing for displaying data; and

a temperature/humidity indication gauge mounted at one side of the main housing for displaying data.
