AXON Flex

TASER International, Inc. introduced the AXON Flex on-officer camera -- a video recording system that seamlessly captures video evidence from the officer's perspective.

TASER created the new AXON Flex point of view camera, a technological breakthrough in the world of on-officer video devices. With multiple mounting options, including a seamless integration with Oakley, Inc.'s Flak Jacket eyewear, AXON Flex systems are TASER's newest offering in the field of evidence-capturing technology, giving officers flexibility, simplicity and wearability. In addition, AXON Flex systems feature Looxcie Inc.'s proprietary video over Bluetooth streaming technology that allows officers to review events on a smartphone application supported by Apple iOS and Google Android operating systems.

To complement the camera solution, TASER provides EVIDENCE.com(TM) service, an industry-leading evidence management system. The AXON Flex system offers maximum flexibility and can be configured to plug-and-play with EVIDENCE.com service, or for local download at agencies that elect to build and maintain local digital evidence management systems.

• TASER will provide free access to the secure, cloud-based evidence storage solution EVIDENCE.com service for a full year to every agency purchasing the new AXON Flex cameras

• AXON Flex units are expected to begin commercial shipments in the first quarter and will be competitively priced at $700 for the base camera with a wide variety of accessories available.
• Features of the AXON Flex system:

1. The extended controller module offers 12-hour battery life for a full-shift video buffer that can record the 30 seconds preceding an officer's activating the unit so incidents are fully captured
2. The hardware has been designed to protect the camera from impact and withstand the elements with IPX2 weather resistance
3. AXON Flex cameras use an industry-leading imager and sensor, which have been engineered to mimic the human eye's capabilities, capturing a high level of detail in low light conditions
4. The head-worn Flex DVR camera and rapid grip magnetic clip weigh only 15 grams, resulting in significantly greater comfort than any other law-enforcement video system

• Using the AXON Flex(TM) Mobile app (available for Android and iOS enabled platforms), officers can use smartphones to view a live feed of Flex footage, review videos stored on the camera and add information such as notes, timestamps or GPS location to those videos.
• Looxcie and TASER joint-developed the video-to-smartphone technology in order to bring an advanced, hands-free durable camera targeted for the law enforcement market
