Abstract: The apparatus enables a user to aim a weapon from a position of safety relative to a location to be monitored, and monitor the actions of a person at the location. It includes an imager for generating video images of the location and person being monitored, which imager is adapted to be mounted on the weapon. It further includes a viewer for receiving the video images generated by the imager so as to be viewed by the user, which viewer is adapted to be worn by the user. It also includes elements for electronically connecting the imager to the viewer, for receiving the video images of the location generated by the imager, processing the video images, and directly transmitting the processed video images to the viewer for viewing by the user of the location and person being monitored.
