Availability: All regions
On-device language support for German, Portuguese, and Spanish (ES)

Availability: All regions
Security upgrades for Bluetooth broadcasts
With Firmware version 1.2619, AB4 cameras now support randomized Bluetooth addressing during interaction with Signal and other Axon devices. The camera's beacon address now rotates regularly, improving privacy without affecting existing camera connections or requiring devices to be re-paired.
- This upgrade is only supported once a customer has fully transitioned to the Axon app. It's not compatible with the legacy Axon View app.
- Once an agency hits 100% Axon app usage, Axon will enable this automatically in their instance. No additional action is needed from the customer.
Resolved issues
- Resolved a rare issue where certain videos recorded using POV had muffled audio on playback when a microphone was obstructed.
- Resolved an issue where some AB4s failed to upload logs via a ViewXL connection when unregistered.
- Resolved an issue where Low Battery icon was not cleared on each dock/undock.
- Resolved an error where cameras became stuck while in pairing mode.

Axon ALPR
State of Origin Recognition Update (Outpost and Fleet)
State of Origin recognition now delivers more accurate results across U.S. license plates, supports a broader range of plate designs, and adds country-level recognition for Canadian plates. The update also improves recognition of blurry, partially obscured, and newer plate designs while returning Unknown when confidence is low to improve result reliability.
Availability: US4, US1, CA1
License Plate Recognition Improvements (Outpost)
License plate detection accuracy has been improved to reduce false-positive reads, particularly in daytime conditions. The system also detects repeat sightings of long-dwelling vehicles more quickly by shortening the merge window for repeated reads.
Availability: US4, US1, CA1
See license state and jurisdiction at a glance on ALPR record
ALPR hit records in the Fleet 3 Dashboard now display the license plate's state or jurisdiction alongside the hotlist name and offense category, making it easier for officers to confirm plate origin during dispositioning.
Availability: All regions
Installation and Device Reliability Updates (Outpost)
Installation visibility has been improved with full-brightness LED indicators, updated installer software, and additional technician commands. Device registration is also more reliable on slower network connections through an increased registration timeout.
Availability: US4, US1, CA1
Device Stability and Recovery Improvements (Outpost)
Resolved issues affecting device position recovery, fixed-location reporting, image quality during changing lighting conditions, and video processing stability. The update also improves recovery from stalled video streams and reduces unnecessary Bluetooth-related system log entries.
Availability: US4, US1, CA1
Convert ALPR records to evidence from Fleet 3 Dashboard
Officers can now convert an ALPR read or hit to evidence directly from the Fleet 3 Dashboard, without switching to Axon Evidence. Before the record uploads, users can add or edit evidence details, including owner, title, ID, category, and tags, and the converted record uploads immediately and takes priority over video evidence uploads.
Availability: All regions
Axon Interview
Axon Interview 4.18.6.7
Now available, this update addresses targeted customer-reported issues and improves overall system reliability. The upgrade is supported via the Axon Server Updater and is available for download here.
The upgrade typically takes 30–60 minutes. Interview rooms connected to servers being updated will be unavailable during this time. This release applies to agencies using Axon Interview with the Axon Evidence cloud system. Organizations using Axon Evidence Local should remain on version 4.16.
Upon GA of 4.18, supported versions will be:
- 4.18: Current general availability release
- 4.16: Maintenance support release (primarily for agencies using Axon Evidence Local)
Organizations running earlier versions will be required to upgrade to a supported release prior to further troubleshooting. If your organization is running an unsupported version, please contact Axon support prior to updating. Organizations are encouraged to plan migration to version 4.18 upon general availability.
Availability: US1, EU1, UK2, US3, CA1, AU1
Resolved issues
- Resolved an issue where login credentials could be retained between sessions on shared interview room panels.

- Resolved an issue with memory spikes during maintenance that can cause server crashes.
- Resolved an issue where Live Streaming Video Playback (DVR) duration values above the default could cause storage to fill unexpectedly. Admins can review or adjust this setting in Admin Panel → Recording → Maximum Playback Time (default: 8 hours).
- Additional stability and performance improvements have been made to further enhance system reliability.
