English
Recording
The Axon Body 2 camera has 2 operating modes - BUFFERING and
EVENT modes. BUFFERING mode provides pre-event buering to
capture activities that occur before you activate the EVENT mode.
EVENT (also known as Recording) mode is for recording.
1. Turn the system on. Move the Power Switch to the On position (the
red area under the switch is exposed when the switch is in the On
position).
• The camera takes a few seconds to boot up and be ready to record.
• The operation LED will be solid red and then transition to blinking
green when the system goes into BUFFERING mode.
• The Axon Body 2 camera enters BUFFERING mode after the boot
up sequence. With default settings, BUFFERING mode holds
the previous 30 seconds of video (NO AUDIO) leading up to the
beginning of a recording.
2. To record, quickly double-press the EVENT button.
• The camera now records audio as well as video.
• The camera beeps twice to let you know that recording has started.
The two beeps will repeat every 2 minutes (audio notications
can be deactivated if necessary).
• The operation LED will blink red.
3. To add a marker to the video, quickly press and release the Function
button.
4. To stop audio recording (mute), press and hold the Function button
for three seconds.
5. To stop all recording and return to BUFFERING mode, press and
hold the EVENT button for at least 3 seconds, until there is a long,
audible beep.
With default settings, the system does not capture audio in
BUFFERING mode, so anything recorded in that mode will be video-
only. BUFFERING mode starts only after the camera is turned on. The
system does not record when the Axon Body 2 camera is turned o.
