Chapter 1: Introduction
What Is the Axon Body 2 Camera System?
The Axon Body 2 is a camera system incorporating an audio and video recording device. This
camera is designed for use in tough environmental conditions encountered in law enforcement,
corrections, military, and security activities. The Axon Body 2 camera is designed to record events
for secure storage, retrieval, and analysis via Axon Evidence (Evidence.com) or Axon Commander
services. The recorded events are transferred to your storage solution via the Axon Dock, or by
using Evidence Sync software installed on a Windows computer.
The Axon Body 2 camera has 2 operating modes designed to accommodate the needs of law
enforcement, corrections, security, and the military. The default mode, or BUFFERING mode, pro-
vides pre-event buffering to capture activities that occur prior to the user activating the EVENT
mode. In addition, the Axon View application enables playback of footage on a smart device for
review prior to storing the data.
Maximum Video Length
The maximum length of an Axon camera recording is 4 hours. In situations where an Axon camera
is in Event mode for more than 4 hours, the current video recording stops at 4 hours and a new
video recording will start.
