Introduction
The Axon Fleet 2 solution 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 Fleet 2 system is
designed to record events for secure storage, retrieval, and analysis using Evidence.com
services. The recorded events can be transferred wirelessly to the Evidence.com website
through Wi-Fi technology. You also can transfer information by using Evidence Sync software
installed on a Windows computer.
The Axon Fleet 2 system usually consists of 2 cameras: one installed in the front of the
vehicle in a windshield mount, and the second pointed at the law enforcement vehicle’s
prisoner compartment.
The Axon Fleet 2 system cameras have 2 operating modes designed to accommodate the
needs of law enforcement, corrections, security, and the military. The default mode, or
BUFFERING mode, which provides pre-event buffering to capture activities that occur prior
to activating cameras, and EVENT mode, which records events.
If the Axon Fleet 2 system is used in an emergency vehicle equipped with an Axon Signal
Vehicle unit, the camera will transition from BUFFERING to EVENT mode when an
appropriate event occurs (such as your emergency vehicle’s light bar being activated).
The camera is normally powered by the vehicle. If the vehicle’s ignition is shut off, an inline
Axon Fleet power unit provides power for up to 4 hours of recording.
