A lighting and communication system for use in a standardized light fixture is provided. The lighting and communication system includes a light source and a communication apparatus including at least one of an audio device and a camera. At least one electrical connector configured for physical and electrical connection to the standardized light fixture is included, and the at least one electrical connector is electrically connected to the light source and the communication apparatus.

Systems and methods of the disclosed embodiments provide a sensor to detect a side from which a door or window is being opened, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor to determine the side from which the door or window is being opened, and to generate a security exception based on the determination of the side from which the door or window is being opened.

The present invention concerns an apparatus comprising a shade, a camera sensor and a base. The camera sensor may be configured to capture video data of a surrounding environment of the apparatus. The base may be configured to enclose a circuit. The circuit may be configured to provide (i) an electrical connection to (a) the camera sensor and (b) components of the circuit, (ii) a connection between a power source and an external device, and (iii) control signals for activation of (a) the external device and (b) the components of the circuit. The circuit comprises an antenna module configured to connect and send data to a network through a wireless connection. The video data is sent as the data through the wireless connection. The camera sensor is positioned in a bottom part of the base that extends below the shade.

Location-Based Addressing (LBA) is a method of controlling and commissioning networked lighting devices. The lighting devices communicate over a wireless network using radio frequency communication protocols. The lighting devices are commissioned or grouped based on their respective locations in a building floor plan or a building architecture. The lighting devices are commissioned to respond to radio frequency communications that correspond to their respective locations. This imposed location-based architecture reduces the amount of transmitted data required to control the lighting devices and, thus, reduces the radio bandwidth required to control the lighting devices. In other words, controlling devices “multicast” instructions and controlled devices “listen” for instructions and act only upon instructions that correspond to their respective location. Hand shaking or two-way communication between the controlling devices and the controlled devices is not required.
