Recording
The Axon Flex 2 system has 2 operating modes. The default mode, or
BUFFERING mode, provides pre-event buffering to capture activities that
occur before you activate the EVENT (recording) mode.
1
Turn the system on. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
• The camera takes a few seconds to boot up and be ready to record
(the red area under the switch will be exposed with the switch moved
to the ON position).
• The operation LED will be solid red and then transition to blinking
green when the system goes into BUFFERING mode.
• The system will go into BUFFERING mode after the boot up sequence.
With default settings, the BUFFERING mode holds the previous 30
seconds of video [NO AUDIO] leading up to the beginning of a re-
cording.

To record, quickly double-press the EVENT button.
• The system now records audio as well as video.
• The system will beep twice to let you know that recording started.
The 2 beeps will repeat every 2 minutes (if the system is muted, there
will be no audio notifications).
• The operation LED will blink red.
3
To stop recording and return to BUFFERING mode, press and hold the
EVENT button for at least 3 seconds until there is a long, audible beep.
Because the system does not capture audio in BUFFERING mode, the
first 30 seconds of a recorded event will be video-only (depending on
your agency’s settings). BUFFERING mode starts only after the cam-
era boots up. The system does not record when the Axon Flex 2 con-
troller is turned off.
