Basic Operations
AXON Modes
The AXON system has three operating modes:
1. BUFFERING
2. EVENT
3. PRIVACY
The mode is displayed on the top left corner of the touch screen.
The BUFFERING mode is the default mode of operation, and is activated immediately
after power-up and log in. During the Buffering mode, the touch screen operates similar
to a viewfinder on a digital camera or video recorder. It provides real-time display of
images based on the orientation of the HeadCam.
 You will hear an audio prompt, “Buffering Mode Active” through the HeadCam
earpiece. (If the HeadCam is not connected, the ATC speaker will project this
audio prompt.)
 The LEDs on the top of the ComHub and on the front of the ATC will illuminate
blue to provide a visual indicator that you are in the Buffering mode.
 The HeadCam will be receiving video and audio, but will not record to permanent
memory at this time.
 The AXON will “buffer” 00:30 seconds of video, and will refresh continually
refresh buffering until you enter another mode (Privacy or Event).
 Buffered video duration is currently set to thirty seconds (00:30). Software
updates for EVIDENCE.COM will eventually allow your agency
administrator to configure and determine buffering time (between 10 to 60
seconds).
 If you begin an event recording, you go into EVENT mode – it is only at this time
that the buffered video directly prior to the event will be saved and attached to the
event in permanent memory. This feature is intended to capture the video of an
incident that led to your decision to activate the Event mode.
 The 00:30 seconds of buffered video will not contain audio, only video.
