Tagging Recorded Evidence Files

You can use Axon View to tag the videos you record with metadata, such as ID, title, and retention category. Axon View transfers the tag information to the Axon camera. Tag information that you apply does not alter the original video evidence file.

When you place the Axon camera in an Axon Dock or connect the Axon camera to a computer that is running the Evidence Sync application, the videos on the camera automatically upload to your agency's Axon Evidence account. The tag information that you apply to each video also uploads and can be viewed by anyone with permission to view the evidence.

1. Ensure that the Axon camera is turned on and paired to the mobile device.
2. On your device, open the Axon View app. Axon View connects to the Axon camera. A list of video thumbnails is displayed.
3. Scroll to the thumbnail of the video that you want to tag and tap it.
4. The Evidence Review screen appears and shows the media player and metadata about the video, such as recording date and time and the ID, Title, and Category fields.
5. In the upper-right side of the screen, tap Edit.
6. For each metadata field, make the necessary edits:
   • ID — Tap the ID box and type the case ID you want to apply to the video evidence file.
   • Title — Tap the Title box and type the title you want to apply to the video evidence file.
   • Category — Tap Category and, on the Select Category screen, tap the category you want to apply to the video evidence file.
7. When finished tagging the video evidence file, tap Save in the upper left.

The Evidence Review screen reappears.
