Axon‘s next generation point-of-view body camera, Axon Flex 2, announces a number of new features and compelling improvements over its predecessor:
Breakthrough Flexibility:
- With a host of advanced new mounting options, Flex 2 increases retention strength by over 300% while maintaining the flexibility for easy, rapid repositioning between mounts. New cable management systems ensure continuous connections for enhanced reliability.
Solid-Core Durability:
- The first of its kind, the polymer casing of the Flex 2 is fused into a solid one-piece design fully encasing the electronics from weather, shock and even the occasional run-over by a vehicle. The polymer casing forms an armored layer of protection against even the roughest environments.
Wider Perspective:
- Flex 2 enhances field-of-view from 75 to 120 degrees – allowing users to capture even more and gain a fuller perspective.
HD Retina Low Light Video with Dual-Channel Audio:
- Flex 2 offers video resolution from 480p to 1080p further refining its industry leading Retina Low Light video performance. The Stereo Digital Mic records audio in two channels: one optimized for voice and the second set to the environment for improved audio evidence capture.
Automatic Activation:
- Axon Signal allows camera activation from TASER Weapons, in-car systems and a growing ecosystem of Signal triggers.
Mobile Applications:
- Flex 2 uses both Bluetooth technology and Wi-Fi to optimize wireless communications for mobile apps on iOS, Android and Windows Mobile that allow mobile viewing, tagging and off load of videos with Axon View and Axon Capture.
Full Shift Buffer with Configurable Pre-event Settings:
- Pre-event buffer of 0–120 seconds, configurable by agency in 30-second increments.
“Officers around the country have placed their trust in the Axon Flex camera since we launched it in 2012,” said TASER CEO and co-founder, Rick Smith.
