• An agency can extend the camera buffering duration to 2 minutes total (00:02:00).
• An agency can configure the camera buffering to records audio as well as video.
Starting Recording (Event) Mode
1. To begin recording, double-press the Event button on the camera.
• Depending on your agency configuration, other events or actions can cause your
camera to transition from Ready (buffering) to Recording mode. An example of this is
if a device with Axon Signal technology broadcasts a signal.
When your camera starts recording, the camera emits 2 short tones and 2 short
vibrations. The camera display shows the recording icon.
The camera now records audio as well as video. The buffered video captured directly
preceding the event is saved and attached to the event recording (Note: With default
settings, the buffered video does not contain audio). The moment Recording mode
begins, both video and audio are recorded from the camera and GPS coordinates are
recorded. This will continue throughout the duration of the recording until you stop the
recording.
The camera provides you with indications that it is in Recording mode:
• The camera display shows STARTING and then the recording icon.
• The Operation LED on the camera blinks red.
• At the start of an event and every 2 minutes during an event, the camera emits 2
short tones and 2 short vibrations.
2. To stop recording and return to Ready mode, Press and hold the Event button for 3
seconds.
The camera will emit one long tone and vibrate once. The camera display shows SAVING
and then READY. The Operation LED blinks green.
3. To turn off the camera, press and hold the power switch for 3 seconds.
Muting Audio Recording
If your organization’s administrator has configured your Axon Body 3 camera to do so, you
can use the Select button to enter mute mode (disable audio recording) while recording
video. This feature may be useful in sensitive situations.
