Settings
This article discusses camera settings available in Axon Evidence under Admin > Devices and Applications > Body Camera > Axon Body 3 > profile. Not all settings may be applicable at your organization or available for your role.
Video
| Quality |
Determines the camera’s recording quality. |
Pre-Event Buffer and Video Recall
| Pre-Event Buffer |
Determines the buffer duration included in the final video. |
| Video Recall |
Enables an 18-hour recording buffer. Users with the correct permissions can recall recordings from that buffer using the View XL Standalone app. |
Watermark
| Watermark |
Adds a permanent watermark with date, time, and camera serial number to the upper-right corner of videos. |
| Watermark Local Time Zone |
Sets the time shown in the watermark as local time (based on agency configuration). When disabled, it uses UTC. |
Audio
| Record Audio |
Enables audio along with the video. |
| Pre-Event Buffer Audio |
Enables audio in the pre-event buffer. |
|
Audio in Video Recall |
Enables audio in Video Recall recordings. |
Lights
If enabled, lights can still be configured at the user level through Axon View or on the device.
| Front Light |
Illuminates the front-facing Triad camera lights to provide a visible indication of recording status. The lights blink green during pre-event buffering, red when recording. |
| Automatic Brightness |
Enables this mode in the camera and Axon applications. This mode automatically adjusts the brightness of front and top lights based on ambient light. If front lights are disabled, it only applies to top light. Users must have permission to adjust indicator lights to enable Auto mode from the camera or Axon applications, and stealth must be disabled for this setting to be enabled. |
Location
| Location in Video |
Enables gathering of location data from GNSS/GPS and embedding in video recordings. |
| Wi-Fi Positioning |
Enables gathering of location information from Wi-Fi access points to improve location performance. This also improves battery performance. |
| Location Updates during Buffering |
Determines how frequently the camera reports location to Axon Respond while buffering. Increasing the reporting period from 15 minutes to 5 minutes decreases the battery life of the camera by approximately 1 hour, dependent on other configured settings. |
Axon Respond
Configure permissions for using Respond features such as Livestreaming in Roles & Permissions.
| Livestreaming
|
Determines when cameras can livestream audio and video to authorized organization users in Respond. |
| Camera Location on Axon Respond Map |
Configures when camera location information is made available to the Axon Respond map. |
Evidence upload
| Priority Evidence Upload |
Allows users to select recordings for prioritized upload over LTE. |
| Automatic Wi-Fi Upload |
Lets cameras upload video through a connection with nearby organization-trusted Wi-Fi access points. Set trusted Wi-Fi access points on the Body Camera Wi-Fi Networks page. |
| Wi-Fi Evidence Upload and Firmware Updates |
Determines if cameras can upload recordings, download firmware, and sync organization-wide settings through a connection with nearby organization-trusted Wi-Fi Access Points. Organization-trusted Wi-Fi Access Points are set on the Body Camera Wi-Fi Networks page. |
| Rate-limited Camera Upload Speed |
Sets the maximum upload speed in megabits per second for each individual camera. |
Axon Signal
Configure assigned personnel activation in Axon Evidence under Admin > Signal.
| Signal Activation |
Lets camera recording be activated by Axon Signal. |
| False Signal Cancelation |
Lets Signal alerts be canceled on the camera by pressing Select. |
| False Signal Cancelation Default Category |
The selected category is automatically applied to recordings canceled as false activations.
|
Gunshot detection (beta)
This feature is in a beta stage and may not be available for deployment.
| Gunshot Detection Recording |
Determines if the camera starts recording if sensors detect the camera wearer discharging their firearm. |
| Gunshot Detection Notification
|
Determines if a notification is sent in near real-time to authorized organization users.
|
| False Gunshot Detection Cancelation |
Determines if gunshot alerts can be canceled on the camera. Users can dismiss a false gunshot detection by pressing Select. |
Remote activation
| False Remote Activation Cancelation
|
Determines if Remote Activation alerts can be canceled on the camera. Users can dismiss a Remote Activation alert by pressing Select. |
App support
| Pair with Axon Applications |
Allows cameras to be paired via short-range wireless with Axon View, View XL (Fleet), and Fleet Dashboard. When disabled, cameras can still be connected via wired connection to View XL (Standalone). |
| Video playback in Axon Applications |
Lets users play video still on the camera from Axon View, View XL (Fleet and Standalone), and Fleet Dashboard. |
| Axon Application Upload |
Lets a user upload video from View XL (Fleet and Standalone) or Fleet Dashboard.
|
| Enforce Evidence Management Permissions |
When enabled, View XL (Standalone) respects permissions in Axon Evidence when retrieving video from a camera. |
Battery
| Battery Optimized Charging |
When enabled, the camera will slowly reduce its state of charge when left in dock for greater than three consecutive days. While this will reduce runtime, it will improve long-term battery health and reduce degradation. |
Firmware download
| Firmware Download Timeframe |
Adjusts the timeframe in which cameras download a firmware update. A shorter timeframe means cameras download firmware sooner but may result in congestion on your network. |
User permissions and mute configuration
| Users Can Mute During Recording |
Lets users mute audio when recording an event. |
| Users Can Use Stealth Mode |
Lets users enable Stealth mode on their camera, which disables all lights, audio, and haptic feedback. |
| Users Can Adjust Indicator Light Settings |
Lets users adjust the indicator light settings of their camera. |
| Users Can Adjust Vibration Settings |
Determines whether users can adjust the vibration settings of their camera. |
| Users Can Use Sleep Mode |
Lets users put their camera in Sleep Mode. Users starting a recording from sleep mode will lose the pre-event buffer. Signal products will not start a recording when a user is in sleep mode. A camera in sleep mode provides a haptic reminder every 15 minutes. |
Device management
| Settings return to default in dock |
User settings return to default settings when the camera is docked. |
| End Recording Confirmation |
Prevents unintentional ending of recordings. With Always, ending a recording requires a secondary confirmation press of Select after every recording. Auto only requires a secondary confirmation after recordings where Event was pressed in the middle of the recording. |
