20120271477 | System And Method For Illumination Using Power Over Ethernet - An illumination system for energy efficiently illuminating locations e.g. offices, homes or ATM machine sites comprising a PoE switch supplying command and power to PoE-IP Illuminators, having energy-efficient LED light-sources. Using PoE+, light sources of over 20 Watts may be used. Each illuminator having a unique IP-ID is controllable over the PoE LAN. The system may include sensors and monitors such as: IP-camera, illumination sensors and entry detectors. At a remote ATM machine site, the system provides: illumination, voice assistance, surveillance security and banking. Renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power devices and rechargeable batteries allow pollution-free and remote location operation. Chainable IP-LED lights Daisy chained by a serial data channel and controlled by an IP-LED master connected to PoE line. The system may comprise PoE-IP controllers used for powering and controlling controlled devices capable of remotely controlled such as: Access devices, IP LED/electronic signs, shading, siren/alarms etc. | 10-25-2012 |
