Axon Flex 2 Quick Start Guide

English

Recording

The Axon Flex 2 system has 2 operating modes. The default mode, or 

BUFFERING mode, provides pre-event buffering to capture activities that 

occur before you activate the EVENT (recording) mode.

Turn the system on. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

• 

The camera takes a few seconds to boot up and be ready to record 

(the red area under the switch will be exposed with the switch moved 

to the ON position).

• 

The operation LED will be solid red and then transition to blinking 

green when the system goes into BUFFERING mode.

• 

The system will go into BUFFERING mode after the boot up sequence. 

With default settings, the BUFFERING mode holds the previous 30 

seconds  of  video  [NO  AUDIO]  leading  up  to  the  beginning  of  a  re

-

cording.

To record, quickly double-press the EVENT button.

• 

The system now records audio as well as video.

• 

The system will beep twice to let you know that recording started. 

The 2 beeps will repeat every 2 minutes (if the system is muted, there 

will be no audio notifications).

• 

The operation LED will blink red.

To stop recording and return to BUFFERING mode, press and hold the 

EVENT button for at least 3 seconds until there is a long, audible  beep.

Because the system does not capture audio in BUFFERING mode, the 

first 30 seconds of a recorded event will be video-only (depending on 

your agency’s settings). BUFFERING mode starts only after the cam-

era boots up. The system does not record when the Axon Flex 2 con-

troller is turned off.
