Configure your camera
During normal operation, the camera uses lights, sounds, and vibrations (haptic feedback) to notify you of the camera status. These indicators and notifications are managed by your organization and can be configured to allow you to change the setting for your assigned camera.
Check with your Axon administrator to learn which configuration settings you can change.
Adjust volume
During normal operation, the camera emits beeping sounds, called audio prompts, to notify you of the camera status.
To adjust camera audio prompt volume:
Use camera controls
Use Volume Up p and Volume Down q to adjust the volume. The camera provides audio feedback and indicates the volume setting on the camera display as the volume changes.
Light setting

Axon Signal
This camera is compatible with Axon Signal technology. Your administrator must activate Axon Signal capability prior to use.
When it is active, Axon Signal technology can broadcast a signal that allows your camera to transition from Ready to Recording mode automatically. When your camera starts recording, you will see, hear, and feel all the normal start-recording notifications.
Axon Signal technology transmissions only allow cameras to start recording. Axon Signal technology does not transmit a signal to end recording. The camera must be stopped manually.
Axon Signal technology cannot power an Axon camera on. If the camera is off, it will not record.
Devices equipped with Axon Signal technology have a signal range of approximately 30 feet (9.1 meters) and can be purchased separately from the Axon Body camera.
Other settings (admin)
Your organization’s Axon administrator can configure additional settings and functionality (such as video quality and pre-event buffer time) for your camera. The list of options is in Settings. Check with your Axon administrator for information about which settings and functionality are available for your camera.
