Axon Capture

Axon Capture is a mobile application (app) that allows you to perform the following actions:

• Capture audio, video, and photos.
• Categorize files with a title, case ID, and a retention category.
• Enable the application to add geolocation metadata to evidence files automatically.
• Upload audio, video, and photo evidence captured with the application or saved on the mobile device to your Axon Evidence agency, using either a cellular data connection or Wi-Fi Internet connection.
• Depending on your agency’s policies, you may be able to delete evidence files that were accidentally recorded.

Recorded evidence is stored on the mobile device and is deleted after it has been successfully uploaded to Axon Evidence.

Axon Capture can also be used to send Axon Community Request invitations for accounts that support that action.

Notes

• Axon Capture does not work with Axon Evidence Lite accounts.
• The actions you can perform in Axon Capture are configured by your agency’s Axon Evidence administrator. Contact your agency’s Axon Evidence administrator for questions about which features are available to you.
• Axon Capture cannot interact with Axon cameras.
• Photos and videos taken with another application can be imported into Axon Capture. However, Axon Capture cannot import or otherwise work with audio files recorded by other applications. Use Axon Capture to record any audio you intend to use with the Axon Capture application.
• If you experience issues with Axon Capture or have any feedback, please contact Axon Technical Support ([email protected]).

IP Restrictions

If an agency uses IP restrictions, access to its Axon Evidence account is restricted to only those IP addresses the agency has allowed. When officers are outside the agency’s allowed IP addresses, they will be able to use Axon Capture to record audio and video and take photos. However, they will be unable to log in to Axon Evidence, upload files to the website, or update category lists on the application until they move back into the allowed network IP range.

Axon recommends that agencies wanting to use IP restrictions enable the Axon Application Exceptions for Axon Capture in Axon Evidence to avoid these limitations. This allows officers using Axon Capture in the field to access Axon Evidence.

Alternately, agencies can deploy a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to mobile devices using Axon Capture. This allows officers using Axon Capture in the field to access Axon Evidence through the agency’s allowed networks. The VPN connection will also add an additional layer of security to the connection.
