Abstract
The present disclosure provides a smart lighting device, and a smart lighting control system and method. The smart lighting device includes a wireless communication module, a control module, an image acquisition module configured to collect images/videos near the smart lighting device in real-time and to send the images/videos to the control module for analysis, and a microphone module configured to have operation modes including a sleep mode and a monitor mode to receive a control signal from the control module to switch between the operation modes, and to collect audio signals in the surrounding area of the smart lighting device when operated at the monitor mode. The control module is configured to receive and analyze the images/videos from the image acquisition module. When a human appearance is identified in the images, the control module sends the control signal to the microphone module to switch to the monitor mode.
