Your Impact
Digital Evidence Management Systems are key to officer efficiency, and Axon’s mobile applications—Axon App, View, and Capture—play critical roles in evidence acquisition. Axon View interacts with body-worn cameras to display live camera streams and to view and tag previously collected evidence. Axon Capture collects digital evidence (photos, videos, audio) and uploads it to Axon’s evidence management service for later processing. The Axon App provides seamless access to Axon Evidence, Axon Records, and Axon Standards on the go.
