Description

  The present invention is a lighting apparatus having a monitoring function for crime prevention.

  In the monitoring device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-37175 (hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 1), an intruder threatens by using a device of a system that blinks illumination when an object moving with a sensor is sensed by connecting the monitoring device and the illumination device. Techniques such as facilitating identification of intruders have been seen.

  In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-103454 (hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 2), a monitoring device is not installed independently as in Patent Document 1, but a monitoring device is installed inside a lighting fixture, so that an intruder can be externally installed. A technique is disclosed in which a surveillance function is improved without being wary, and a security camera as a surveillance device is covered with a light cover to protect the camera from being damaged or damaged.

In a monitoring device installed in a lighting fixture, Patent Document 2 discloses a technique of monitoring the outside of the lighting fixture through a lighting cover that transmits light with a security camera installed in the lighting fixture. If the lighting cover is not transparent, it is difficult to take clear pictures of the outside of the lighting fixture through the lighting cover. In addition, the lighting cover is often made of opaque materials such as milky white. There is a problem that it is difficult to monitor with a security camera.

  In view of the above circumstances and problems, the present invention provides a security camera with a lighting cover capable of clearly photographing and monitoring the outside of the lighting fixture from a monitoring device installed in the lighting fixture.

  In order to solve the above problems, the security camera with a lighting cover according to claim 1 of the present invention is such that the lens of the security camera installed in the lighting fixture and the hole provided in the lighting cover are integrated. Features.

  The security camera with a lighting cover according to claim 2 of the present invention moves the lighting cover to move the lens of the security camera installed in the lighting fixture so as to be integrated with the lighting cover, and to move the camera attached to the lens. It is characterized by adjusting.

  The security camera with a lighting cover according to claim 3 of the present invention is characterized in that a sensor for detecting a moving object is provided within a certain range outside the appliance.

  The security camera with a lighting cover according to claim 4 of the present invention is characterized in that a wide-angle lens is installed in the lens portion of the security camera in the lighting fixture integrated with the lighting cover.

  According to the invention of claim 1, the security camera with the lighting cover is not warned from the outside with the security camera by installing the security camera so that the lens of the camera and the hole provided in the lighting cover are integrated. In addition, since shooting is performed with only the lens of the camera exposed to the outside of the surface of the lighting cover, it is possible to take a clearer image than when shooting the outside through the lighting cover.

  According to the invention of claim 2, by moving the lighting cover, the lens of the security camera integrated with the cover and the security camera accompanying the lens are moved to adjust the direction of shooting of the security camera. be able to. Since the direction of shooting of the security camera is adjusted by moving the entire lighting cover, it is difficult for outside intruders to be wary of the movement of the security camera.

  According to the invention of claim 3, by providing a sensor for detecting a moving object within a certain range outside the device, when the intruder approaches the certain range of the lighting device, the direction of the security camera is detected. It is possible to shoot by adjusting the person to be monitored.

  According to the invention of claim 4, even if the wide angle lens is installed in the lens portion of the security camera in the lighting fixture integrated with the lighting cover, the lighting fixture can be passed through the lens integrated on the lighting cover. With the security camera installed inside, the outside of the lighting fixture can be imaged in a wide range.

  In the first embodiment, for the purpose of crime prevention, the lighting fixture 1 is attached to the ceiling 16 of a living room, and the bulb 4 having a U-shaped bent shape is covered with a dome-shaped lighting cover 2. 1 to 3 will be described.

  The lighting fixture 1 is installed by attaching a lighting fixture mounting seat 15 to a ceiling 16, and includes a light bulb 4 and a light bulb mounting seat 5 inside. The light bulb 4 is attached to the lighting cover 2 that is detachable from the light bulb mounting seat 5. Covered. The security camera 3 as a monitoring device is attached to the camera mounting space 6 formed by being covered with the illumination cover 2 on the lower surface portion of the light bulb mounting seat 5.

  The lighting cover 2 that covers the lighting fixture 1 includes a strip-shaped lighting cover 2a and two hemispherical lighting covers 2b and 2c formed by cutting the spherical lighting cover 2 into a strip shape. The hemispherical lighting covers 2b and 2c are installed on the lighting fixture mounting seat 15 so as to form a band-shaped gap, and the band-shaped lighting cover 2a is formed by the hemispherical lighting covers 2b and 2c. It is installed so that it fits into the gap with a suitable margin to move through the gap. A hole 7 for photographing the outside is formed at an appropriate position in the strip-shaped lighting cover 2a, and the camera lens 8 of the security camera 3 installed in the lighting fixture 1 is integrated with the hole 7 so as to be integrated. It is attached to.

  The band-shaped illumination cover 2a is a part of the security camera 3 for photographing by rotating a band-shaped gap formed by the hemispherical 2b and 2c around the horizontal rotation shaft 9 together with an integrated camera lens 8. Adjust the tilt angle. Furthermore, the strip-shaped illumination cover 2a integrated with the camera lens 8 of the security camera 3 is configured to adjust the orientation of the security camera 3 by rotating in the horizontal direction together with the hemispherical illumination covers 2b and 2c. ing.

  Photographing by the security camera 3 is performed from the security camera 3 installed on the light bulb mounting seat 5 through the camera lens 8 integrated with the belt-shaped lighting cover 2a and the cylindrical nozzle 10 attached to the lens 8. . If the security camera 3 is in the camera mounting space 6, the security camera 3 may be directly installed so that the camera lens 8 is integrated with the belt-like illumination cover 2 a without using the cylindrical nozzle 10. Good.

  A wide-angle lens 11 may be installed on the lens 8 integrated with the strip-shaped illumination cover 2a so as to be overlapped from the outside, thereby enabling imaging over a wider range.
