Chapter 1: Introduction
The Axon Fleet solution is a camera system incorporating an audio and video recording
device with a vehicular windshield mount. This camera is designed for use in tough
environmental conditions encountered in law enforcement, corrections, military, and
security activities. The Axon Fleet camera is designed to record events for secure
storage, retrieval, and analysis via Evidence.com services. The recorded events can be
transferred wirelessly to the Evidence.com website through 4G LTE and Wi-Fi
technology.
Axon Fleet is a video solution that connects police vehicles to an intelligent, cloud-
based evidence ecosystem. Axon Fleet allows agencies to access and analyze in-car
video. The cameras are mounted in the car, where they can be activated via Axon Signal
technology, through the in-car computer using the Axon View XL program via
Bluetooth, or manually with the on camera toggle. They then communicate with the
Axon View XL program, and can offload video wirelessly through 4G LTE, or Wi-Fi
technology to the Evidence.com website
The Axon Fleet system consists of the Axon Fleet camera, the Axon Fleet camera
mount, and the Axon Fleet power unit. The Axon Fleet power unit is an inline power
supply for the camera. During normal operation, the camera is powered by the vehicle;
however, if the ignition is shut off and the camera is still recording, the Axon Fleet
power unit is designed to supply the camera with enough energy to continue recording
for approximately 4 hours.
The Axon Fleet system has Axon Signal Vehicle unit technology integrated into the
camera solution. The Axon Signal Vehicle unit is part of a communications platform
that sends a signal when certain conditions are met; this signal can be recognized by
Axon equipment. For example, the Axon Signal Vehicle unit can be set up to work with
an emergency vehicle’s light bar. When the light bar activates, all properly equipped
Axon systems within range can begin recording. Currently, Axon Signal technology is
built into Axon Fleet, Axon Body 2, Axon Flex (with an Axon Flex controller equipped
with Axon Signal technology) and Axon Flex 2 systems. See the associated product
user manuals for more information. Ultimately, this enables a fully integrated Axon
camera system, that comes together to form a coordinated car, body camera, and
smart weapon environment.
