Use Respond

Users with Respond Live Stream permission can view the location of Axon body cameras on the Respond map in Evidence Local. While recording, Axon body cameras send location updates based on the GPS sensor in the camera. Location updates are sent every few seconds while recording and stop when the camera stops recording. The Respond map and user list update with location and markers based on when a body camera last sent a location update.
