Axon Flex 2 User Manual
Chapter 4: Recording with the Axon Flex 2 Camera
event, up to 30 seconds, will be saved and attached to the event in permanent memory. This fea-
ture is intended to capture the video of an incident just before your activation of EVENT mode.
With default settings, the system does not capture audio in BUFFERING mode, so anything re-
corded in that mode will be video-only. Buffering mode starts only after the Axon Flex 2 camera
is turned on. The system does not record when the camera is turned off.
Notes:
• An agency can turn off the BUFFERING mode. If your agency has deactivated the BUFFERING
mode, your Axon system will operate the same way as described in this manual, but the camera
will not record anything until you double-press the EVENT button.
• An agency can extend the BUFFERING mode’s duration to 2 minutes total (00:02:00).
• An agency can configure the BUFFERING mode so it records sound as well as video.
EVENT Mode (Starting Recording)
1
When you need to record, quickly double-press the EVENT button on the camera.
The system now records audio as well as video. The “buffered” video directly preceding
the event will be saved and attached to the event recording. (Remember, with default set-
tings, the buffered video will not contain audio.) The moment you double-press the EVENT
button, both video and audio will be recorded from the camera and GPS coordinates (if
the system is paired to a GPS-capable smart phone) will be recorded. This will continue
throughout the duration of the recording until you terminate the recording.
The camera provides you with indications that it is recording in EVENT mode:
• At the start of an event and every 2 minutes during an event, the system will beep twice.
• The Operation LED on top of the camera will blink red.
2
To stop recording and return to BUFFERING mode, press and hold the EVENT button for
approximately 4 seconds. The system will beep once (with a long tone).
3
To turn off the system, move the On/Off switch to the “off” position.
• If the camera is recording when you move the On/Off switch you will not go into BUFF-
ERING mode; instead the system will turn off completely.
• It is best to stop recording (step 2) before turning the system off.
Note:
An event not recorded by the camera cannot be played back or downloaded to your
computer.
Muting Audio Recording
If your system administrator has configured your Axon system to do so, you can use the function
button to disable audio recording during an event. This feature may be useful in sensitive situa-
tions.
1
Press and hold the Function button for 3 seconds to mute the audio capture.
The Function LED will flash blue while the camera is muted.
2
Press and hold the Function button another 3 seconds to re-enable the audio recording.
