Spherical motion sensor housing for outdoor security light

A spherical motion sensor housing, comprising:

• a spherical shroud including a front facing hemisphere and a rear facing hemisphere,
• a lens opening extending along an ellipsoid of the front facing hemisphere, wherein the lens opening corresponds with a first field of view opening and a second field of view opening;
• a motion detection unit mounted within the spherical shroud, the motion detection unit having an optical field of view through the lens opening for motion detection,
• wherein the optical field of view for the motion detection unit corresponds with the first field of view opening and the second field of view opening.

A spherical motion sensor housing, comprising:

• a spherical shroud including a front facing hemisphere, wherein the front facing hemisphere includes a first field of view opening corresponding to a vertical field of view and a second field of view opening corresponding to a horizontal field of view;
• a lens opening extending along an ellipsoid of the front facing hemisphere;
• a motion detection unit mounted within the spherical shroud, the motion detection unit having an optical field of view, including the vertical field of view and the horizontal field of view, through the lens opening for motion detection,
• wherein the ellipsoid is defined by one or more portions of the front facing hemisphere.

An adjustable spherical motion sensor housing mounted on an outdoor security light, comprising:

• a spherical shroud including an lens opening, a first field of view opening portion and a second field of view portion, the first field of view portion and the second field of view portion in opposing axis relationship;
• a lens covering the lens opening of the spherical shroud;
• a motion detection unit mounted within the spherical shroud;
• an adjustment mechanism facilitating adjustment of the adjustable spherical motion sensor housing within one or more axis;
• and
• wherein the first field of view portion is a more limited field of view than the second field of view and limited by at least one inwardly directed structure of the lens opening, the inwardly directed structure of the lens opening restricting the first field of view portion;
• wherein the first field of view portion is a vertical field of view.

An adjustable spherical motion sensor housing mounted to an outdoor security light, comprising:

• a spherical shroud having a lens opening, the lens opening having a first field of view and a second field of view substantially perpendicular to the first field of view;
• a lens covering the lens opening of the spherical shroud;
• a motion detection unit mounted within the spherical shroud, the motion detection unit having an optical field of view for motion detection through the lens, wherein the optical field of view for motion detection includes a horizontal field of view and a vertical field of view, the vertical field of view corresponding to the first field of view of the shroud and the horizontal field of view corresponding to the second field of view of the shroud;
• and
• wherein the vertical field of view of the motion detection unit is limited by at least a first input restriction structure, the second field of view at least twice the first field of view.

An adjustable spherical motion sensor housing mounted to a security light, comprising:

• a spherical shroud rotatably mounted to the security light;
