Axon Signal technology aims to reduce the occurrence of failed activations during critical incidents. The Body 3 camera wirelessly communicates with the Taser 7 and a magnetic accessory attached to officers' holsters. Axon Signal will automatically activate an officer's camera and any Axon cameras within 30 feet of the officer when any of the following occur: 1. The officer's Taser is activated. 2. The officer's firearm is drawn from its holster. 3. The sound of a gunshot is detected by the camera. Axon's cameras constantly buffer 30 seconds of video recording. Any of the above conditions will cause the camera to activate and capture video beginning 30 seconds before the activation. It will also log what caused the activation and can notify supervisors in real time. This technology works to reduce human error in body worn camera activations while improving officer video capture rates and public trust. Evidence.com and Supporting Software The police department utilizes Axon's Evidence.com database to securely store and track the enormous amount of data generated from body worn cameras. It also serves as a central location to store and track all other forms of digital evidence collected during police investigations (security footage, crime scene photographs, recorded interviews, etc). The system creates an audit trail which documents who has viewed a piece of evidence. It facilitates secure sharing of data related to a specific case with the District Attorney's Office, defense attorneys, other law enforcement agencies as well as supervisors and managers within the department. Axon's Evidence.com is compliant with strict state and federal regulations concerning Criminal Justice Information Systems. In addition to storing data, Axon's evidence management services include configurable retention periods, transcription services and automated redaction assistance. A critical incident usually involves hours of video from multiple officers' cameras. Before being released to the public, the video must be thoroughly reviewed to ensure the redaction of victim identities and other protected information. The technology in Axon's Redaction Assistant program has enhanced redaction features that will save valuable staff time and provide a more timely release of video footage. Axon's Device Manager Application allows Tasers, cartridges and cameras to be assigned to officers within seconds using the unique barcodes affixed to them instead of a manual entry process.
