Multicam Playback

In Axon Evidence, multicam playback helps you review simultaneous video recordings from multiple sources in one seamless view.This feature is helpful for analyzing complex incidents involving multiple individuals or camera angles.

Multicam videos appear automatically when these requirements are met:

• Requires a Pro license.
• The videos were recorded using Axon cameras: Axon Body 2, Axon Body 3, Axon Body 4, Axon Flex 2, or Axon Fleet.
• Each camera was running firmware version 1.9 or later.
• The cameras were within 30 feet (10 meters) of each other and recording for at least one minute (not including pre-event buffering).
• You have permission to view all videos involved.

Select videos for playback

When you select Multicam on the evidence view, the Multicam evidence selection page appears and you can select up to four related videos for simultaneous viewing. The upper section of the page shows the currently selected videos and the lower section lists related videos.

Cameras must be within range of each other for at least one minute before or during recording, excluding pre-event buffering, for videos to be displayed with Multicam playback.

• Add a new video by selecting a new tile in the upper section, then the video name in the related video list.
• Change videos by selecting the tile in the upper section to select the video that will be replaced, then the video name in the related video list.
• Optionally, you choose Update ID to enter an updated ID for the selected videos, Download the selected videos (the videos are not combined into a single video), or Add to Case to add the selected videos to an existing case.
• When all videos are selected, select Launch Multicam.
• Select Back to Evidence to return to the originally selected Evidence Detail page.

View multiple videos

WIth Multicam playback, the selected videos are requested from the system and synchronized. The upper section of the page shows the videos and standard media player options while the lower section shows information about the evidence files. Multicam playback uses standard media player controls.

During playback, videos that don't start at the beginning of the sequence show a message bar that states when the video will start. This lets you know when a video will begin playing so you can quickly jump to the point when all videos are active. Since each video can have its own audio, an additional audio selector control in the center of the media player controls lets you choose which audio track to use during playback.

Combined Multicam video extraction

You can extract the videos you selected for Multicam playback into a single video file. After the file is extracted, the video is treated as any other file and can be redacted, transcribed, clipped, marked, shared, or downloaded. The file can be viewed in Axon Evidence and outside Axon Evidence as a single video file.

How to extract a combined Multicam video file

1. Select one audio track will be used for the extracted file. Select the audio track for Multicam playback by selecting the audio selector icon and then the number for the appropriate video.
2. Select Extract to review the information, then Extract again to start.
3. When the file is ready, Axon Evidence will email you a link to let you know the Multicam extraction is ready.
