Abstract

An automated and remotely operated stun gun with integrated camera and laser sight, all incorporated within a housing, communicating either by hardwire or wireless to a control center, the camera, sight, and stun gun darts all embodied within a housing, capable of being moved for sighting purposes onto a suspect target, through the use of servo motors or other mechanical devices, so that once a target is sighted, the stun gun can be initiated, for disabling the suspect.

Claims

1. An automated and remotely operated stun gun with integrated camera and laser sight, including a housing, said housing mounting a camera for sighting of a suspect target, a laser sight, operatively associated with the camera, for providing sighting upon the suspect target, a mounting means connecting with the housing, said mounting means incorporating at least one servo motor for providing mechanical shifting of the housing in both vertical and horizontal directions, in order to be adjusted and focus specifically upon a suspect target, a pair of stun gun dart chambers mounting upon the housing, and capable of projecting a pair of darts forwardly at the suspect target, each dart chamber holding a supply of chargeable wires, each operatively associated with one of said darts, in order to charge the darts with a high voltage when projected towards a suspect target, circuitry operatively associated with the housing, said circuitry providing for the processing of charge to a high voltage for charging of the charged wires and darts, said circuitry also providing for control and functioning of the camera, laser sight, and servo motors of the mounting means during their actuation, said device capable of being operated by one of hardwiring and wireless from a remote location to function as a deterrent and disabling means to prevent a suspect target from causing damage to the surrounding people and vicinity.

2. The integrated camera and laser sight of claim 1 wherein said laser sight is also included within said housing.

3. The integrated camera and laser sight of claim 1 wherein said camera is also located within said housing.

4. The integrated camera and laser sight of claim 1 wherein there are two servo motors provided within the mounting means, the first servo motor provided for inducing movement of the housing in a horizontal direction, and the second servo motor provided for furnishing vertical movement of the housing during sighting of a suspect target.

5. The integrated camera and laser sight of claim 1 and including a microcontroller operatively associated with the circuitry and provided for regulating the operations of the camera and laser sight in the horizontal and vertical directions during sighting of a suspect target.

6. The integrated camera and laser sight of claim 5 and including a joystick operatively associated with the circuitry incorporating the microcontroller, and to provide for manual manipulation of the housing and its contained camera and laser sight in the X and Y axis upon sighting of a suspect target.

7. The integrated camera and laser sight of claim 5 wherein said circuitry includes a series of relays, said relays provided for controlling the initiation of operations of the laser, camera, and firing mechanism for the stun gun, during operations of the device.

8. The integrated camera and laser sight of claim 7, and including the series of diodes, which when operative protecting the electronics of the relays from feedback when said relays are disengaged.

9. The integrated camera and laser sight of claim 8, and including a series of capacitors, operatively associated within the circuitry of the device, and parallel arranged with the relays, to provide for stability and balance out the input power of the circuitry and to protect it from any power surge.

10. The integrated camera and laser sight of claim 9, and including a diode operatively associated with each of the relays, and provided to protect the relays from feedback when the relay is disengaged.

11. The integrated camera and laser sight of claim 5, and including a microprocessor operatively associated with the microcontroller, and a series of capacitors operatively associated with the microprocessor, with said capacitors provided to stabilize and balance the input power to the microprocessor in the event of a power surge, to assure a 5 volt supply from the voltage regulator during operations of said device, and to ensure the device is functioning within its microhertz specification.

12. The integrated camera and laser sight of claim 1 wherein the means for projecting the charged darts towards a suspect target includes one of compressed gas from a cylinder, an explosive cartridge, and compression springs, to achieve dart propulsion.
