Chapter 1: Introduction
What Is the Axon Body 2 Camera System?
The Axon Body 2 is a camera system incorporating an audio and video recording device. This camera is designed
for use in tough environmental conditions encountered in law enforcement, corrections, military, and security
activities. The Axon Body 2 camera is designed to record events for secure storage, retrieval, and analysis via Evidence.com services. The recorded events are transferred to your storage solution via the Axon Dock, or by using
Evidence Sync software installed on a Windows computer.
The Axon Body 2 camera has two operating modes designed to accommodate the needs of law enforcement,
corrections, security, and the military. The default mode, or BUFFERING mode, provides pre-event buering to
capture activities that occur prior to the user activating the EVENT mode. In addition, the Axon View application
enables playback of footage on a smart device for review prior to storing the data.
