Uploading evidence

The evidence will upload when:

  • The device is connected to the internet
  • You are signed into Axon Evidence
  • You have entered the details for the evidence and selected Upload in the app.
Notes
  • The Axon app must have the Cellular Data permission enabled in your device's settings to upload without a wifi connection. If the Cellular Data permission is disabled for the Axon app, the evidence will upload the next time the device connects to wifi.
  • In Axon Evidence the uploaded evidence will be assigned to the user who is signed in at the time of upload. When using a shared device, ensure your evidence is uploaded before checking in or handing off the device.

The evidence is automatically deleted from the device's storage once it is uploaded to Axon Evidence.
