SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TASER
International (NASDAQ: TASR), the global leader in Smart Weapons
and digital evidence management solutions for body-worn
cameras, today announced the release of the Signal Performance
Power Magazine (SPPM), the latest addition to an ever-expanding
ecosystem of connected technologies. The SPPM is a smart
battery that works with TASER's X2 and X26P Smart Weapon. The
SPPM is designed to automatically inform Axon Body 2, Axon Flex,
Axon Flex 2, and Axon Fleet compatible cameras that a TASER Smart
Weapon within signal range is armed, the trigger is pulled, or its
arc switch is activated. The cameras can sense the Smart Weapon
status change and start recording. SPPM units have begun shipping
and are available now.
"Our whole mission revolves around making officers' lives and
jobs easier and safer through technology," said TASER CEO and
co-founder Rick Smith. "In that
sense, the last thing we want is for an officer's focus to be drawn
away from a critical situation by his or her devices. SPPM's
ability to alert Axon cameras of CEW usage will go a long way
toward helping users concentrate on what's important. It will be
the easiest, most reliable way for officers to tell the full story
without ever having to think about anything beyond managing the
situation at hand. SPPM joins Axon Signal, which provides
similar alerts from actions in a patrol car such as light bar
activation, in allowing officers to focus on the environment around
them, not their technology."
Details:
- The SPPM battery pack in a X2 or X26P Smart Weapon alerts Axon
cameras that are equipped with Axon Signal technology.
- The SPPM can detect when the safety switch is placed in the up
(armed) position and sends a signal in a 30-foot radius for 30
seconds. (A Smart Weapon can only operate when the safety is
switched up.)
- After the weapon is armed and the 30-second transmission is
complete, the SPPM will resend a signal whenever the trigger is
pulled and/or the arc switch is activated.
- Any Axon Signal compatible camera that comes within range will
sense the status change and begin actively recording.
- Some older Axon Flex camera controllers are not Axon Signal
compatible. Compatible Axon Flex controllers are marked with a logo
as shown in the attached photograph.
