Viewing Live Video from an Axon Camera

You can use Axon View to watch video while the Axon camera is recording or buffering. This is useful for ensuring that the camera is pointing in the right direction or for using the camera to view difficult-to-reach spaces, such as a crawl space or attic.

The video streams at a rate of 30 frames per second; however, depending on a variety of factors, the video may appear choppy. Regardless of the live video quality shown on the mobile device, the Axon camera is recording at the full frame rate.

For Axon Body 2, Axon View uses Wi-Fi for viewing live video. For Axon Body and Axon Flex, Axon View uses Bluetooth for viewing live video.
