Accessories and mounts
The Body 4 camera works with a variety of Axon mounting systems.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 7
Body4CameraUserGuide
Note As with any radio frequency or electronic device, Axon recommends to avoid placing the camera directly next to your radio to prevent inadvertent radio activation.
The various mounts that use this system can be used with a wide variety of uniforms to fasten the camera to your shirt, patrol vest, or jacket.
In general, Axon mounting systems consist of the attachment piece (called the key) on the camera and the attachment receiver (called the lock) on the mount. To lock a camera in place, insert the key of the camera into the lock of the mount (the camera will typically be sideways) and turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise (when you are looking straight at the mount). To release the camera from the mount, turn the camera 90 degrees clockwise.
When wearing the camera, you can use the livestreaming feature of the Axon View app (see page 56) to show the camera's view.
Watch this video to see different body camera mounting options.
You can find further information on mounting options, including demonstration videos, on my.Axon at Body-Worn Camera Mounting Options.

AxonEnterprise,Inc. 10
Body4CameraUserGuide
For example, if Programmable Button 1 is configured to be Sleep, double-pressing it will cause the camera to enter Sleep mode.
For a Respond+ agency, the default behavior of Programmable Button 1 is Watch Me and Programmable Button 2 is No Function.
Optimized battery capacity
If this setting is enabled in the Admin section of Axon Evidence, the camera will only charge to about 90% capacity and display FULL when finished charging instead of 100%. While this will reduce run-time, it will improve long-term battery health and reduce degradation.
Agencies should analyze their battery needs during the first few weeks of deployment and if users don’t require the full 100% of battery, enable this setting to improve long-term battery health with only a minor reduction in run-time.
End recording confirmation
This feature prevents unintentional ending of recordings. If enabled, ending a recording will require a secondary confirmation press of Select.
l Always – Confirmation always required.
l Auto – Confirmation only required if Event is pressed during a recording.
Axon Signal
This camera is compatible with Axon Signal technology. Your administrator must activate Axon Signal capability prior to use.
When it is active, Axon Signal technology can broadcast a signal that allows your camera to transition from Ready to Recording mode automatically. When your camera starts recording, you will see, hear, and feel all the normal start-recording notifications.
Axon Signal technology transmissions only allow cameras to start recording. Axon Signal technology does not transmit a signal to end recording. The camera must be stopped manually.
Axon Signal technology cannot power an Axon camera on. If the camera is off, it will not record.
Devices equipped with Axon Signal technology have a signal range of approximately 30 feet (9.1 meters) and can be purchased separately from the Axon Body camera.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 11
Body4CameraUserGuide
Other settings (admin)
Your organization’s Axon administrator can configure additional settings and functionality (such as video quality and pre-event buffer time) for your camera. The list of options is in Admin settings on page 58. Check with your Axon administrator for information about which settings and functionality are available for your camera.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 12
Body4CameraUserGuide
Operate your camera
Before operating an Axon Body Camera, ensure it is fully charged and properly configured.
For details, see Charge the battery on page 64.
Watch this video for additional information about operating a Body 4 camera.
Operating modes
This camera has two operating modes:
l Ready (Buffering) – Camera is on and is pre-event buffering l Recording (Event) – Camera is recording
Turn on the camera and Ready mode (buffering)
Press Power until you feel a short vibration. The camera emits two short rising-pitch tones with a long vibration and then enters Ready (Buffering) mode.

Body4CameraUserGuide
3. To remove the applied category, press Select again.
4. Scroll to and select multiple categories if needed.
5. When finished, hold Select to save the selected categories to the recording.
Any selected categories will save automatically if another recording starts while you're assigning them, for example, if triggered by Axon Signal.
You can also tag videos using the Axon View app, View XL, or Fleet 3 Dashboard, none of which require the Add Categories feature.
Device pooling
Cameras shared between users are considered part of a pool. A pooled camera in an Axon Dock is not available for use until evidence is offloaded and its battery reaches 70% of full charge (if your camera requires 90%, leave it in a networked dock for at least eight hours so it can receive a firmware update). Once assigned via the device pooling kiosk, the camera's LED flash rate increases and the screen color inverts to make it easier to find among other cameras still charging. For details on device pooling, contact your Axon representative.
The RFID bulk import capability for device pooling simplifies the management of RFID card assignments by letting you efficiently create multiple simultaneous RFID card-to-user mappings using CSV file imports. The interface centralizes the viewing, searching, and removal of RFID assignments and supports bulk creation, deletion, and management of RFID card-to-user mappings, with options to download backup, template, and error files for streamlined system management and error handling.
Watch these videos for an overview of how to:
l Check out a device
l Enable self-checkout for devices
l Configure the device pooling kiosk
Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
Note For MFA to be available on a body camera, your Axon administrator must:
l Enable camera as an MFA method for your agency.
l Ensure cameras are on the latest firmware.
l Ensure the camera is assigned to the user.
l Ensure the camera is not in a lost or stolen state.
Your body camera can function as an MFA device (sometimes called Two-Factor Authentication, or 2FA).
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 17

AxonEnterprise,Inc. 20
Body4CameraUserGuide
Bi-directional communications
Bi-directional communications (BDC) lets dispatchers and command staff talk to Body 4- equipped officers from either the Respond desktop or mobile app. Being able to see, hear, and now communicate with officers brings support teams even closer to the scene—from the safety of their individual locations—to provide even greater support to officers.
During a livestream, authorized dispatchers and command staff can start a conversation with a Body 4-equipped officer from within the Respond desktop or mobile app by pressing the Start call button. The conversation will continue for the duration of the livestream and is hands-free for the officer. Up to 25 Respond viewers can participate in a single conversation.
All conversations are recorded and uploaded to Axon Evidence as part of the evidentiary video, just like any other Axon body camera recording.
For instructions on how to use BDC on Body 4, jump down to Use BDC on the Body 4.

If multiple camera livestream windows are open, you may start or join a conversation for the livestream in the foreground. Shifting from one camera window to another will drop you from the first conversation. Audio will start playing from the window in the foreground.
Camera modes
The Body 4 camera may enter modes or conditions that make it unavailable for bi-directional communications. When this happens, Axon Respond will update to prevent you from talking.
Here are two camera modes that do not allow bi-directional communications and how they are display in Axon Respond:
Stealth mode
When the Body 4 camera enters stealth mode, its speaker becomes muted and, therefore, the Respond user is not allowed to talk.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 26
Body4CameraUserGuide
Speaker muted
When the Body 4 camera’s speaker volume is muted, the Respond user is not allowed to talk.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 27
Body4CameraUserGuide
Microphone muted
When the camera's microphone is muted, you will not hear any audio. If this happens, any Respond viewers in the conversation may continue to talk to each other and the camera user will still hear them, but they will not hear the camera user.
Use BDC on the Body 4
While the Body 4 camera is livestreaming, a LIVE icon appears on the display:
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 28
Body4CameraUserGuide
If a Respond user starts a conversation, the camera will vibrate, play a tone, and the display will briefly show COMMS OPEN to inform you that someone has started a conversation and audio can start playing from the camera's speaker.
Once connected, the display will update to show the total number of Respond users in the conversation:
The conversation ends when you end the recording or when all users have closed the livestream. The camera will vibrate, play a tone, and the display will briefly show COMMS CLOSED.
Respond viewer joins or leaves
When a Respond user joins or leaves the conversation, the Body 4 will vibrate, play a tone, and the display will indicate the total number of participants. If no Respond viewers remain, the conversation ends.

l Mount Magnet – Connects to the POV Mount
Important Avoid using the Flex POV camera at an indoor firing range as this may damage its microphones.
Flex POV cable connection
The Flex POV camera and the Axon Body 4 Camera work with a purpose-built cable with a smaller, straight connector at one end and a larger, right-angle connector at the other.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 31
Body4CameraUserGuide
Unlock the POV latching mechanism and insert the camera's connector into the connector port with the cable pointing up as shown, then lock it in place by pushing up on the locking mechanism until it’s flush with the rest of the connector.
These cables are specifically calibrated to work with the Body 4 system. Use of unapproved cables will degrade system performance and may cause the system to malfunction.
Connect
In Axon Evidence, Admin > Axon Body 4 > your profile is a feature called POV Auto- Rotation. Leave this setting off for manual video orientation or toggle on for automatic.
Manual orientation
When you connect a Flex POV camera to
a camera for the first time, it will prompt
you to set the POV orientation to be either
Left or Right.
Determine the orientation of the POV camera using the letter on the top of the POV camera when mounted.
Once set, update orientation using the camera menu: double-press Select and choose POV Orientation. You can also set orientation from the Axon View mobile app.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 32
Body4CameraUserGuide
Automatic orientation
When you enable the POV Auto-Rotation feature in Axon Body 4 settings, the Flex POV camera will set the correct orientation based on the position of the camera.
When the Flex POV camera connects to the body camera, the system evaluates and sets the orientation, displaying a brief confirmation message on the screen, like POV CONNECTING RIGHT SIDE. Orientation is normally set within 10 seconds, but the camera will continue trying for up to five minutes.
l If it can't detect the orientation within five minutes, it displays an alert and uses the default (or previously set) orientation.
l If you use the menu (double-press Select) to manually set POV orientation to right or left, this becomes the new default.
After the orientation is set within the first five minutes of connection, the auto-orientation process will not run again until the Flex POV camera is disconnected and re-connected again. If the camera becomes inverted for any reason (such as during a scuffle), it will not re- orient the image, keeping the user's true perspective.
Use the camera
Caution With the Flex POV camera connected, don't wear the body camera vertically on the belt line; hanging vests and gear can impinge on and damage the cable connection, which may disable the POV camera.
Recurring messages like “POV Not Detected, Try Reconnecting” or “POV Error, Contact Admin” indicate the cable may be damaged.
When the Axon Flex POV Camera is attached to the body camera, Body 4 will use the POV video sensor instead of the body camera’s.
l If the POV camera is attached while buffering, the view will automatically switch from the body camera to the POV camera.
l If the POV camera is attached while recording, it will perform as follows:
o Notify with four short haptic notifications and the message “POV CONNECTED WHILE RECORDING”.
o Ask you to “PRESS SELECT TO SWITCH TO POV”.
o After you press Select, Body 4 will end the recording on the body camera and start recording from the POV camera.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 33
Body4CameraUserGuide
Note If the camera is recording from the body camera while the POV camera is attached and no action is taken, it will continue to record from the body camera. This is intentional because since the system must stop recording on the body camera before starting on the POV, a moment of recording will not be captured.
Leaving recording on the body camera ensures nothing crucial is lost in view transition.
Flex POV captures two audio tracks: a primary one from the Flex POV camera and a backup from the body camera.

Priority upload
Priority upload lets you wirelessly upload the most recent recording on your body camera to Axon Evidence using its LTE connectivity.
Several factors can affect the performance, speed, and battery impact of uploading over LTE. With strong LTE coverage, a 15-minute recording at 720p will take five minutes to upload and use about 2%, or 12 minutes, of battery capacity. With poor LTE coverage, this same recording may use about 4%, or 24 minutes, of battery capacity.
The camera can continue to buffer or record normally while uploading over LTE.
This feature is only available for Axon Respond for Devices+ organizations. Axon Evidence administrators can enable it by turning on the Priority Evidence Upload setting on the camera settings page:
Watch this video for an overview of this feature.
Start a Priority upload
1. Double-press Select to open the diagnostic menu.
2. Press Select to select Upload.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 35
Body4CameraUserGuide
3. Select Priority Upload. If there is no recording on the device, the display shows NO EVIDENCE.
4. If there is a recording on the device, the top of the screen shows its start time followed by the duration in parenthesis. Use the volume buttons to select either BACK (upload nothing) or START (uploads the last saved recording), then press Select.
Once an upload has started, the display returns to its normal view of showing if the camera is Ready or Recording, along with the upload icon
at the bottom right.
The diagnostic menu option changes from Upload to Uploading when an upload is in progress.
Once the recording has uploaded, the camera vibrates and then deletes it from the camera.
Cancel an upload
1. Open the diagnostic menu.
2. Select Uploading.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 36
Body4CameraUserGuide
3. Select CANCEL.
A message confirms the cancellation and the recording remains on the device.
Error states and edge cases
Upload over LTE may encounter the following errors.
Evidence exceeds upload limit
Recordings longer than 60 minutes cannot be completed using LTE due to the size of the file. Dock the camera or use View XL standalone mode.
Upload paused: poor signal
The camera pauses uploaded if it loses LTE coverage during an upload, displaying at the
bottom right. If LTE coverage returns within 10 minutes, the upload will resume, otherwise it cancels and the recording remains on the camera.
Upload paused: USB-C connected
An LTE upload pauses when you connect a USB-C cable. The upload will resume when you disconnect the cable.
Camera shut-down due to low battery
If the camera shuts down due to a low battery during an LTE upload, the upload pauses and the recording remains on the camera. The upload will resume when the camera is turned back on with sufficient charge.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 37
Body4CameraUserGuide
Docked camera
If you dock your camera during an LTE upload, the upload will continue using the dock's ethernet connection, with the Priority upload taking priority.
Upload timed out
If the upload takes longer than two hours (which may occur if LTE coverage is poor and/or the file size is large), the upload pauses. Select to RESUME or CANCEL the upload.
Upload paused: livestream
An LTE upload pauses
to allow a requested livestream. The upload resumes when the livestream ends.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 38
Body4CameraUserGuide
False Signal cancellation
False Signal cancellation lets you report a Signal event on your camera as false, which also marks the associated recording as a false detection. A false Signal recording can also be automatically categorized (see third setting in image below).
Follow your department guidance, but generally, don't take it upon yourself to determine whether Signal activations are false when interacting with members of the community. Only use this feature when no interaction occur, such as during Signal testing or when knowing the activation is 100% false.
You can't cancel a Signal event during a recording activated prior to the Signal event.
The False Signal Cancellation setting is disabled in Axon Evidence by default.
Cancel a false Signal activation
If the camera is ready (buffering) and a Signal event occurs, it displays the Signal icon and activates recording. It then offers a 10-second opportunity to cancel the recording.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 39
Body4CameraUserGuide
Press Select (between the volume buttons) within this time frame to cancel the activation and return the camera to Ready state (buffering).
If you don't press Select within 10 seconds, the camera continues recording normally, but still displaying the Signal icon.

Wi-Fi and priority
In general, Wi-Fi communication will occur if the feature is on and an approved network is available, but other app or camera connectivity functions take priority. l If a Wi-Fi network connection is lost or interrupted during upload, the upload pauses and resumes when reconnected.
l Wi-Fi connectivity to Axon applications such as Axon View or Fleet 3 Dashboard take priority over Wi-Fi communication.
l If you use Respond or Respond+, LTE connectivity for Respond-related activities take precedence over Wi-Fi communication. For example, if you start recording during a Wi- Fi upload, the upload will pause for livestreaming connectivity. l Wi-Fi upload will not occur while recording to Wi-Fi or if already processing a Priority upload.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your question isn't answered here, contact Axon support or your Axon representative for more information.
How long must a camera be docked to receive an updated list of Wi-Fi networks?
Dock your camera or connect to View XL for at least two minutes to receive changes to settings, including Wi-Fi networks. An icon on the screen shows if it is downloading .
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 46
Body4CameraUserGuide
Do recordings wait to upload until they are tagged?
No. Recordings upload when connected to a networked dock or approved Wi-Fi network.
After upload, they are deleted from the device and no longer visible or editable using Axon View, View XL, or Fleet Dashboard. You can edit recording metadata in Axon Evidence.
How does this feature affect battery charge?
The effect on battery is proportional to how often a camera is recording, the length of the recordings, and their resolution. It is similar to that of uploading recordings with ViewXL or Fleet Dashboard, both of which also use Wi-Fi connections. For example, a 15-minute recording at 720p High will use about 2% of battery to upload over a strong Wi-Fi connection.
What is the maximum Wi-Fi upload speed?
Up to 10 Mbps is possible, but dependent on many factors, such as what the network supports.
Will my camera download over Wi-Fi while in Sleep mode? Yes, it will still check for an approved network every 15 minutes while in Sleep mode.
What happens if the opt-in or opt-out messages are interrupted by a different button press?
The message will disappear and the other action will take precedence. The camera will retry four hours later.
Will the camera upload and download over Wi-Fi at the same time? Yes.

Video Recall
Video Recall adds a Video Recall tab to View XL Standalone Mode. The tab is only visible if your admin has assigned you to a role with the Access Video Recall Files permission enabled. Viewing videos through Video Recall is only available using View XL.
The Video Recall tab shows 30-minute-increment files captured in the past 18 hours while the camera was buffering, listed by time-stamp of the recording start time and duration of the file. If a recording is less than 30 minutes, it was interrupted by a different camera state, such as being in placed in Sleep Mode, docked, powered off, plugged in to View XL Standalone, or actively recording. When the camera returns to buffering, Video Recall recording resumes with a new file.
Files selected for upload in the Video Recall tab are placed in the Upload queue. You can't view Video Recall recordings or edit metadata prior to upload. View the status of the file uploads in the Upload tab. Once uploaded, the Video Recall recording functions as any normal recording in Axon Evidence.
Video Recall must be enabled prior to the event you want to recall for it to have captured that video. Your camera will not store, and therefore you can't retrieve, any buffered video prior to Video Recall being turned on.
Watch this video for an overview of using video recall.
Upload Video Recall recordings

Care and maintenance
This section describes cleaning, charging, and storage for the camera.
Never disassemble the camera as this can compromise camera integrity and invalidate the warranty. The camera does not contain a memory card or any user-replaceable parts.
Follow all cleaning agent manufacturer directions.
Clean the camera
Watch this video for an overview of body camera cleaning for a Body 3.
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the surface of the camera. Do not use harsh cleaners or solvents. Ideally, moisten the cloth with isopropyl alcohol.
Do not immerse the camera in water or cleaning solutions.
If the camera lens becomes dirty, use a lens blower brush to clean it and then wipe it with a soft cloth as needed.
If the camera display becomes dirty, clean with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use ammonia-based or similar type window cleaners on the camera lens or display as these normally contain abrasives that can scratch.
Do not place the lens under running water or apply jets of water.
Do not use compressed air to clean the camera. Compressed air may damage the camera’s microphones.
Ensure the microphone openings are clear of debris.
Charge the battery
Charge the camera battery by placing the camera in the dock or connecting a USB-C cable.
Note Ensure the USB port is dry and free of dirt and debris before placing the camera in a dock or connecting a USB-C cable.
The dock functions as an ethernet adapter, an unmanaged network switch, and charger. It charges and uploads video to Axon Evidence simultaneously.
When approximately 10% of the battery capacity remains, the camera display shows LOW BATTERY and the camera emits four quick tones and four short vibrations. These alerts repeat at 5% capacity.
Recharge a depleted battery as soon as reasonably possible.
Return cameras to Axon for battery replacement.
Watch this video for an overview of charging your camera.

Body4CameraUserGuide
Charge without a dock
To charge the camera when no dock is available, use a USB-C cable. You should still regularly place your camera in its dock to ensure it has the correct time synchronization and receives the latest firmware updates.
Charge your camera with any USB-C cable.
1. Connect the camera to the USB-C cable.
2. Connect the cable to a power adapter or USB port. A power adapter generally provides more charging power than a device’s USB port.
l If the camera was off, it enters low-power mode and the current charge level appears on the camera display. When you remove the cable, the camera turns off.
During charging, power the camera on normally at any time and it enters Ready mode (buffering).
l If the camera was on, it remains on with the charging icon beside the battery. When you remove the cable, the icon disappears and the camera remains on.
The color of the Operation LED on top provides a visual indication of the charge level. The LED is red
when the charge level is 10% or less, yellow
at 11–89%, and green
at 90% or higher.
Internal clock
Place your camera in an Axon Dock or connect it to View XL Standalone mode to update the camera’s internal clock.
Update firmware
Return your body camera to its networked charging dock on a regular basis, ideally at the end of every daily shift. This will recharge the battery, upload data to Axon Evidence, and download and apply any available firmware updates. While docked, the Triad LED spins yellow
while downloading new firmware. Avoid removing the camera during a download.
Moisture
Don’t charge your camera while the USB port on the camera or dock is wet. The camera will display a moisture icon if it detects moisture in the USB-C port.
If the USB port is wet, use a paper towel or absorbent cloth to blot the connector and then allow it to fully dry before charging.
If a camera is charging when it gets wet, remove it from the charging source (dock or cable), use a paper towel or absorbent cloth to blot the USB port, and then allow it to fully dry before charging again.
The USB port must be fully dry before placing the camera in a dock or connecting a cable.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 65
Body4CameraUserGuide
It may take up to 15 minutes from the time you dry the USB-C port for the moisture icon to clear and the body camera to charge normally.
Camera storage
-04–95 °F
-20–35 °C
Do not store Axon body-worn cameras in environments where the temperature is likely to be outside the maximum (such as under direct sunlight, near heaters, or in a vehicle in extremely hot weather) or minimum values.
70–75 °F
21–24 °C
For long-term storage, ensure room temperature is in this range and battery level is approximately 50% before powering down. Charge the stored camera back to around 50% once a year to prevent over-discharge of the battery. Do not store the camera fully charged or fully discharged.

I accidentally undocked my camera while it was updating firmware. What do I do?
No special action is needed, nor is your camera damaged. Avoid removing a camera from the dock while firmware is being applied, indicated by the Triad LEDs spinning white . But if it happens:
l If the camera was undocked when downloading the firmware, it resumes downloading the next time it’s docked.
l If the camera was undocked while updating firmware, it continues updating until it is completed. Ensure the camera has enough battery power for the update to complete.
Important Never power the camera off while firmware is being applied.
Why does Windows Media Player (WMP) keep playing the wrong audio track? This is a known issue with WMP and dual-track media files. One solution is to select the other audio track in WMP, which is different for each version. Another is to use a different media player, like the free and open-source VLC Media Player (Axon does not specifically approve use of any one media player).
How do I de-register a body camera from my organization? An Axon Body 4 camera does not need to be returned to Axon to be de-registered. Contact technical support at help.axon.com.
Why is the buffer video length shorter than expected?
A recorded video may have a shorter buffer period than expected if:
l You started a recording shortly after turning the camera on, so the preconfigured buffer length has not yet elapsed.
AxonEnterprise,Inc. 68
Body4CameraUserGuide
l You ended one recording and started another before the preconfigured buffer length elapsed.
l The buffer is off or set to a different duration than expected in Axon Evidence.
