Industrial design of sensor integrated lamp

Abstract: This report is the result of a Master thesis project performed in collaboration with Lund University and Axis Communications AB. Axis Communications develop network cameras for security surveillance and the headquarter is located in Lund, Sweden. The goal of this project was to identify an opportunity where the combination of a camera integrated in a lamp can be useful and in a development process generate a concept. Lighting and cameras are used in a variety of environments, the first stage of the process was to gain knowledge about trends, market opportunities and segmentation within the two markets. The information was collected through interviews and reports and was used as foundation for the ideation process. The ideation process generated a primary market in streets, squares and parks, and involved creating a luminaire prepared for a camera installation in a simple and aesthetic fashion. Concept designs were generated and screened against requirements created from information collected in the pre-study and from customer needs. One concept was chosen to further develop through tests, calculations and further design refinement. The result is a concept for a modular street light luminaire system where focus is to increase the perceived security with a camera or other sensors and enable energy efficiency through modern and automatized lighting technology.
