Admin settings
This
Admins can define default Fleet 3 camera settings in Axon Evidence, including video quality, video pre-event buffering, audio mute control, and indicator light control. These settings are not available for earlier versions of Fleet.
Some setting changes will only be enforced on Fleet cameras after they are updated by Axon View XL or connected to an Evidence Sync application.
On the menu bar in Axon Evidence, select Admin, then under Devices and Applications select Axon Fleet 3. These settings affect all Axon Fleet 3 cameras at your agency.
When done making changes, select Save Settings at the bottom.
If you're looking for Fleet Hub Signal settings, see Signal Configuration in the Axon Evidence topics at my.Axon.com.
Video
Video quality – Controls the video quality for Fleet camera recordings. Higher quality videos will take up more storage space. Each Fleet camera can have a different setting.
- Defining the Axon video encoding rate or the space used per hour of recording is useful when trying to reduce the effect of Axon video uploads on your internet connection.
- After making video quality changes, record and view a test video to ensure the result is what you expected.
- For the best balance of quality and storage space, Axon recommends recording in HD 16:9 or HD 4:3.
Pre-event buffering – Determines if video will be recorded in the pre-event buffer.
Watermark – Determines if a permanent watermark appears in the upper right corner of all Fleet videos. The watermark displays the date, time, and camera serial number for the duration of the video. Time displays as either UTC, Agency time zone (default), or User time zone.
- The watermark time uses the ISO 8601 international standard 24-hour format with a trailing Z for "Zulu" or "zero hours" from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time standard.
- UTC is based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), but UTC is preferred because Greenwich observes daylight savings time in the form of British Summer Time (BST), then switches back to GMT in the winter.
- The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) created the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as a way to represent dates and times using numbers in a form accepted by the national standardization body in most countries globally. This standard is used by most militaries and the aviation industry worldwide to ensure all references to time are coordinated to the same standard.
- After uploading, Axon Evidence converts the time for each video to local time shown in the upper right corner next to the video player.
Watermark in local time – Sets the time zone displayed in the permanent watermark to the local time zone based on agency configuration.
Video recall – Enables powered Fleet 3 cameras to constantly capture video when not actively recording. Video recall stores up to 24 hours of video per camera on standard 256 GB hubs and seven days on high capacity 1.8 TB hubs, continually overwriting the oldest video segments to make room for new.
- Video recall quality is preset to 480p at 30fps with no audio.
- Recall is not overwritten by event recording.
- Other settings note if they affect recall.
- Accessing recall video is controlled by a role permission; it does not upload automatically.
- Axon recommends enabling this feature.
Audio
Audio recording – Determines if Fleet 3 cameras record audio while recording video. Axon recommends enabling this feature.
Pre-event buffering audio recording – Determines if audio is recorded in the pre-event buffer. Axon recommends enabling this feature.
Light
Dual-View camera LED behavior – Sets the behavior of the camera-side LED for Dual-View cameras (typically facing out the front of the vehicle). During pre-event buffering, the light will be solid green 
. During recording, the light will blink red 
. Stealth mode must be disabled for this setting to be enabled. These LEDs inform officers and the public when the system is recording. Axon recommends enabling this feature.
The front camera light and quality settings can be set separately for the Fleet front and back cameras.
Location
Record location and speed information in video – Determines if GNSS/GPS location and speed data is saved in videos during recording.
Include location information in axon respond and device inventory – Determines if GNSS/GPS location data is made available in near real-time to authorized agency users in Axon Respond and on the Axon Evidence Device page. For the best Axon Respond experience, Axon recommends enabling this feature.
Activation settings
Speed activation – Determines if the Dual-View camera activates video recording (transitions from Buffering to Event mode) when a specified speed threshold is exceeded. Default: off.
Speed reactivation – Determines if the camera automatically reactivates recording while the vehicle speed remains greater than the configured threshold. When disabled, ending a video while greater than the speed threshold will prevent speed activation until the threshold is exceeded again. Default: off.
Motion activation – Determines if cameras automatically transition from Buffering to Event mode when the hub detects sudden changes in acceleration that may have been caused by a motor-vehicle accident. Default: off.
Prevent Stopped Recording during Signal Activation – Prevents stopping a recording if lights and/or sirens are active. Default: off.
Signal Ignore – When on, and the vehicle ignition is off and the system is in shutdown delay timer mode, the system will only begin recording due to impact/crash, Dashboard clicks, or pressing the front camera button; it will ignore CEW, SSA, and 12V signals. Default: off.
Respond livestreaming
Livestream – Determines if the Dual-View camera can stream audio and video to authorized agency users while recording or while recording and buffering. For the best balance of information and privacy, Axon recommends enabling livestream during recording only.
Device management
Body-worn camera pairing – Determines if body-worn cameras can be paired with the Fleet 3 system. Pairing allows video review, tagging, upload, and settings management by the Fleet 3 system.
Evidence review
Evidence playback – Determines is evidence can be played in the Dashboard application.
Edit evidence metadata – Determines if evidence metadata can be edited in the Dashboard application. Metadata includes evidence title, categories, tags, and ID.
Evidence review period – Determines how long evidence remains on the Fleet hub after recording is stopped, for playback review editing metadata. Metadata edits from Dashboard during this period overwrite the metadata stored on Axon Evidence. Fleet 3 uploads evidence whenever sufficient internet access is available.
Upload
Wi-Fi-only upload – Limits Fleet 3 to only use Wi-Fi for evidence upload. It also limits the download of software updates to Wi-Fi.
- This setting requires coordination with vehicle router settings.
- The domain (IP) of http://fleetevidenceping.com (52.247.154.57) must only be reachable over the router Wi-Fi interface.
- This upload method can overwhelm Wi-Fi networks.
- Discuss this option with your Axon representative before using.
Priority Upload – Sets if a user can upload evidence from the system using any connection method available to the Fleet hub. This setting allows the system to disregard normal routing rules.
Power off delay – Sets the Fleet 3 system power-off delay. The shutdown timer starts when the ignition sensing wire no longer detects voltage. During a power-off delay, Fleet 3 can record evidence, upload video, and download updates.
- The length of time required to upload videos depends upon many factors, such as video quality, length, quantity, and internet bandwidth.
- Power during the power off delay is supplied by the vehicle battery.
- Chose a delay length that enables videos from a shift to offload without draining the battery.
User permission
Users can mute during recording – Controls if your users can use Fleet Dashboard to enable or disable audio recording while the Fleet cameras are recording video. This setting is only applicable if the Camera Audio Recording setting is enabled.
Users can adjust indicator light settings – Determines if users can adjust indicator light brightness or turn them off.
Users can use Stealth mode – Determines whether users can place Fleet 3 into Stealth mode, which disables visual and audible feedback. Stealth mode does not affect the Fleet Dashboard.
