Surveillance device

A surveillance system comprising a housing dimensioned to enclose a plurality of cameras and one or more viewing windows to allow light to pass through the housing. A wife transmitting module sends and receives wireless data via an antenna and a mounting rail is attached to the housing to mount the housing to a firearm.

Tritium housing

A tritium housing includes a body extending from a first end to a second end to define a hollow extending therebetween. A lens is disposed adjacent and surrounded by the first end of the body and a sleeve is disposed within said hollow and extends from a closed end disposed adjacent the second end of the housing to an open end disposed adjacent the lens. A tritium vial is disposed within the sleeve to produce illumination visible through the lens. The body is comprised of a colored plastic material for magnifying and brightening the tritium illumination during a daylight use of the tritium housing.

Adjustable-power data rail on a digital weapon sight

A digital sight for a weapon, is provided that includes an adjustable power supply (APS) configured to supply power, a sight body, a sight interface, and a controller. The sight interface is fixed to the sight body, includes a sight power conductor connected to the APS for receiving power supplied by the APS, and is configured for mechanically coupling with a cooperating peripheral interface of a peripheral for fixing the peripheral to the digital sight and to be coupled with a peripheral power conductor of the peripheral interface for providing power from the adjustable power supply to the peripheral. The controller is programmed to receive a data communication having an optimal power indication from the peripheral and based on the optimal power indication, control the APS to adjust the power supplied by the APS to the sight power conductor. The disclosure further encompasses a weapon assembly, a peripheral, and a method.

Thermal gunsights
10684097 · 2020-06-16 · ·

A gunsight for aiming a firearm may comprise a microbolometer and an objective optic positioned forward of the microbolometer for focusing electromagnetic waves on the microbolometer. The objective optic may comprise one or more objective lenses. The gunsight may also comprise a display and an eyepiece optic positioned rearward of the display for allowing a user to view the display through the eyepiece optic. The eyepiece optic may comprise one or more eyepiece lenses. Circuitry of the gunsight is operatively coupled to the microbolometer and the display. The circuitry may comprise one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing one or more instruction sets. In some embodiments, the one or more instruction sets include instructions configured to be executed by the one or more processors to cause the gunsight to capture image signals with the microbolometer and display selected images on the display.
