Event Mode (Starting Recording); Muting Audio Recording; Adding Markers To Recorded Video - Taser Axon Body 2 User Manual

Notes:
• An agency can turn off the BUFFERING mode. If your agency has deactivated the BUFFERING mode, your Axon
system will operate the same way as described in this manual, but the camera will not record anything until you
double-press the EVENT button.
• An agency can extend the BUFFERING mode's duration to two minutes total.
• An agency can configure the BUFFERING mode so it records sound as well as video (00:02:00).

EVENT Mode (Starting Recording)

1 When you need to record, quickly double-press the EVENT button on the camera.
The system now records audio as well as video. The "buffered" video directly preceding the event will be
saved and attached to the event recording. (Remember, with default settings, the buffered video will not
contain audio.) The moment you double-press the EVENT button, both video and audio will be recorded
from the camera and GPS coordinates (if the system is paired to a GPS-capable smart phone) will be record-
ed. This will continue throughout the duration of the recording until you terminate the recording.
The camera provides you with indications that it is recording in EVENT mode:
• At the start of an event and every two minutes during an event, the system will beep twice.
• The Operation LED on top of the camera will blink red.
2
To stop recording and return to BUFFERING mode, press and hold the EVENT button for approximately four
seconds. The system will beep once (with a long tone).
3
To end a recording and turn off the system, move the on/off switch to the "off" position. When you end a
recording with the on/off switch you will not go into BUFFERING mode; instead the system will turn off
completely.
Note: An event not recorded by the camera cannot be played back or downloaded to your computer.

Muting Audio Recording

If your system administrator has configured your Axon system to do so, you can use the function button to disable
audio recording during an event. This feature may be useful in sensitive situations.
1 Press and hold the Function button for three seconds to mute the audio capture.
The function LED will flash blue while the camera is muted.
2 Press and hold the Function button another three seconds to re-enable the audio recording.

Adding Markers to Recorded Video

The Function button also can be used to add a marker to recorded video that will show when the video is replayed
on Evidence.com and documented in the audit trail for the device. Markers are most useful for documenting a mo-
ment that you will want to jump to quickly at a later time when re playing the video. If you want to add a marker
to a video while you are recording:
• Press and release the Function button within one second.
