Abstract
A system and method monitors a lamp assembly. Image data related to an object of interest is captured with an optical sensor disposed near the object of interest related to the lamp assembly. The image data from the optical sensor is provided to a processing circuit of a lamp monitoring and control device. The image data from the processing circuit can be transmitted to a base station using a transmit unit.
Claims20
A street lamp monitoring system for monitoring at least one street lamp, comprising:
- at least one street lamp monitoring device configured to be disposed at a location of the street lamp, the street lamp monitoring device comprising:
- a processing circuit,
- a transmit circuit, and
- an optical sensor configured to collect image data associated with the lamp, wherein the at least one street lamp monitoring device is adapted to wirelessly transmit monitoring data associated with the image collected by the optical sensor, wherein the monitoring data comprises color information and time information or brightness information and the time information such that a characteristic related to life of the street lamp can be determined.

A street lamp monitoring system, comprising:
- at least one street lamp monitoring device configured to be disposed at a location of the street lamp, the street lamp monitoring device comprising:
- a processing circuit,
- a transmit circuit, and
- an optical sensor comprising an array of light sensitive pixels configured to be directed at the street lamp and collect image data associated with the lamp, wherein the at least one lamp monitoring device is adapted to wirelessly transmit monitoring data associated with the image collected by the optical sensor, wherein the monitoring data comprises color information and time information or brightness information and the time information such that a characteristic of the street lamp can be determined, wherein the characteristic is color shift or cycling.
