• a second luminaire housing separate from the first luminaire housing, the second housing including
• a second light source configured to provide illumination to a second location, and
• a second I/O device configured to sense a second data set corresponding to the second location;
• and
• a controller having an electronic processor and memory, the controller configured to:
• receive, via the first and second I/O devices, a portion of the first data set and a portion of the second data set,
• combine the portion of the first data set and the portion of the second data set to form a third data set corresponding to the first location and second location, and output the third data set;
• wherein the first I/O device is a first camera and the second I/O device is a second camera, and the portion of the first data set and the portion of the second data set include pixels indicating movement.
