(Phased rollout: started mid‑December 2025; completed late January 2026)
- ALPR Plate State Recognition (US law enforcement only): Available January 2026 Fleet 3 introduces a new recognition model that determines a plate’s issuing state and, when confidence is high, suppresses current “Wrong State” hits to meaningfully improve ALPR hit quality for agencies with frequent interstate entries.
- State of Origin (SOR) Setting: Available January 2026 A new SOR setting on the ALPR Settings screen is enabled by default and may only be disabled after consulting Axon Support if your agency experiences issues with state recognition; disabling it will turn off state recognition on all Fleet 3 systems you operate.

Axon View XL
Manual Update Required to Restore Auto-Update Functionality in View XL
Devices running View XL version 1.32.4 are currently blocked from receiving future auto-updates due to an issue in that release. This problem has been resolved in version 1.33.2, but affected devices will not auto-update to this or any future version unless manually updated.
To restore auto-update functionality, customers must manually install version 1.33.2. We strongly recommend deploying the update via MDM or your agency’s standard software update process as soon as possible.
Important: Before starting the installer, ensure that the View XL interface is fully closed. There is a known issue where launching the .exe installer while the app is open can trigger a critical error. If this occurs, you can run the installer again and select “Repair” to complete the installation. Download Instructions can be found here:
Coming soon
Axon Body 4 Firmware v1.2607
