The Axon View XL application is used to control and support Axon Fleet cameras. It is designed for use with a mobile data terminal (MDT) or mobile digital computer (MDC) within a police vehicle.
Axon View XL lets users start and stop camera recording, play recorded videos, and add metadata to videos. Additionally, Axon View XL also supports user sign-in and wireless offloading of Axon Fleet camera videos.
Axon View XL requires that the Axon provided Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) dongle be inserted in to the MDT/MDC USB port in order to communicate with the cameras. If the dongle is missing or not correctly inserted an error message is shown. Insert the dongle or ensure the dongle is securely seated in the MDT USB port to continue.
Axon View XL supports the ability for two officers to be signed into the same View XL session. Video evidence that is recorded when two officers are signed in will have dual-ownership when uploaded to Axon Evidence. This allows both officers to access evidence that was created while both were signed into View XL. Additionally, this option provides officers with the ability to shift which body camera is active in View XL and which body camera evidence can be reviewed, tagged, and uploaded.
