Chapter 6: Axon Signal Operations
Axon Signal technology is included with the Axon Flex 2 camera. However, your agency’s admin-
istrator must have activated the Axon Signal capability for it to work.
When it is active, Axon Signal technology takes your Axon Flex 2 camera from BUFFERING to
EVENT mode automatically.
Emergency vehicles can be equipped with an Axon Signal Vehicle unit. With light bar activation,
or other activation triggers, the Axon Signal Vehicle unit sends a signal to your Axon Flex 2 cam-
era. Upon processing this signal, your Axon camera transitions from BUFFERING to EVENT mode.
When your camera starts recording, you will hear 2 beeps.
The Axon Signal Vehicle unit has a range of approximately 30 feet (9.1 meters). Another vehicle’s
light bar activation may cause your Axon camera to start recording if the light bar is equipped to
do so.
The Axon Signal Vehicle unit can only send a signal to tell the camera to start recording. Axon
Signal technology does not end recording. If a light bar is turned off, the camera will continue to
record.
The Axon Signal Vehicle unit cannot turn an Axon system on. If the Axon Flex 2 camera is turned
off, the camera will not record even if an Axon Signal Vehicle unit sends an activation signal.
The Axon Signal Vehicle unit is purchased separately from the Axon Flex 2 camera.
