Weapon sighted camera system

1. A camera system for use with a weapon having a weapon sight affixed to the weapon, the weapon sight providing a weapon sight view with a weapon sight aim point zeroed to an aim point of the weapon, the camera system comprising:

a camera configured to be mounted to the weapon and capture images of a camera view of the camera:

a display device configured to present the images of the camera view and a digital reticle over the images of the camera view;

a manual windage adjustment configured to horizontally adjust the camera and its camera view with respect to the aim point of the weapon and independent of the weapon sight and its weapon sight aim point when the camera is mounted to the weapon;

a manual elevation adjustment configured to vertically adjust the camera and its camera view with respect to the aim point of the weapon and independent of the weapon sight and its weapon sight aim point when the camera is mounted to the weapon; and

wherein the manual windage adjustment and the manual elevation adjustment permit aligning the camera so that a central portion from the images of the camera view coincides with the weapon sight aim point; and

wherein the display device is configured to adjust a location of the digital reticle independent of the weapon sight such that the presented digital reticle coincides with the central portion of the images and the weapon sight aim point.

2. The camera system according to claim 1 , wherein the display device is part of a handheld system that is configured to receive the images of the camera view.

3. The camera system according to claim 1 , wherein the display device is part of glasses configured to present the images of the camera view.

4. The camera system according to claim 3 , wherein the glasses includes a heads-up display that presents the images of the camera view.

5. The camera system according to claim 4 , wherein at least one lens of the glasses presents the images of the camera view.

6. The camera system according to claim 4 , wherein the heads-up display of the glasses presents additional data over the images of the camera view.

7. The camera system according to claim 2 , wherein the handheld system includes one or more processors that execute an application used to adjust the location of the digital reticle over the images of the camera view.

8. The camera system according to claim 7 , wherein execution of the application causes the one or more processors to present graphical elements on the display device via which a user moves the digital reticle to over the images of the camera view aligns the digital reticle with the aim point of the weapon.

9. The camera system according to claim 2 , wherein the camera communicate wirelessly with the handheld system and wirelessly provides the handheld system with the images of the camera view.

10. The camera system according to claim 1 , wherein the display device is part of the camera.

11. The camera system according to claim 1 , further comprising: a rangefinder operatively coupled to the display device;

wherein the camera is configured to provide a different line of sight to the aim point of the weapon than the weapon sight of the weapon provides to the aim point;

wherein, during a set-up procedure, the camera view shown on the display device is used to acquire a same aim point as the weapon by:

fixing the weapon with its weapon sight directed at a first target;

adjusting an orientation of the camera with respect to the aim point of the weapon via one or more of the manual windage adjustment and the manual elevation adjustment; and

adjusting the location of the digital reticle on the display device to a center of the camera view;

wherein, after the set-up procedure, the camera view does not use the weapon sight of the weapon when acquiring a second target; and wherein the display shows data from the rangefinder.

12. A weapon system comprising:

a weapon;

a weapon sight mounted to the weapon that provides a weapon sight view zeroed to an aim point of the weapon;

a camera mounted to the weapon such that the camera provides a camera view with a different line of sight to the aim point of the weapon than the weapon sight view, wherein the camera is configured to capture images of the camera view;

a display device is configured to present the images of the camera view;

a manual windage adjustment configured to horizontally adjust the camera and its camera view with respect to the aim point of the weapon and independent of the weapon sight and its weapon sight view; and

a manual elevation adjustment configured to vertically adjust the camera and its camera view with respect to the aim point of the weapon and independent of the weapon sight and its weapon sight view;

wherein the manual windage adjustment and the manual elevation adjustment permit aligning the camera so that a central portion from the images of the camera view coincide with the aim point of the weapon sight view; and

wherein the display device is configured to adjust a location of a digital reticle independent of the weapon sight such that the presented digital reticle coincides with the aim point of the weapon.

13. The weapon system of claim 12 , wherein: the manual windage adjustment comprises a first turret that horizontally adjusts the camera and its camera view with respect to the aim point of the weapon when rotated; and the manual elevation adjustment comprises a second turret that vertically adjusts the camera and its camera view with respect to the aim point of the weapon when rotated.

14. The weapon system of claim 12 , wherein the weapon is a handheld weapon.

15. The weapon system of claim 12 , comprising a vehicle to which the weapon is mounted.

16. The weapon system of claim 12 , comprising:

a rangefinder configured to transmit range data; and

wherein the display device is configured to display the range data received from the rangefinder along with the images received from the camera.

17. The weapon system of claim 12 , comprising a stationary platform to which the weapon is mounted.
