SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq:
AAXN), the global leader in connected public safety technologies,
today announced the industry's first real-time mobile application
that allows law enforcement to use a mobile device to remotely view
live streamed Axon Body 3 camera or Axon Air drone footage. The
Axon Aware app is bundled with and available at zero additional
cost for all OSP7+ subscription plan customers, as well as all a la
carte customers who have purchased Aware/Aware+ or Axon Air.
Axon Aware is a critical new tool for public safety because one
in four calls for service has a high chance of escalation. Axon
Aware uniquely empowers responding officers to connect with support
teams in real-time, both when they proactively ask for help to
"watch their back," and driven by signal alerts within the Axon
network. Launched in September 2019,
Aware is built into Axon's latest generation of devices and
services, including the Axon Body 3 camera and the Axon Air service
for drone pilots. Aware has already proven to be a game changer for
early adopters, such as the Cincinnati Police Department, which is using
live-streaming capability to provide real-time intelligence to
their crime center. And starting today, the Aware mobile app brings
these same real-time benefits directly to the mobile devices of
other critical support team members such as sergeants and
commanders, regardless of where they are or what they are busy with
at the moment.
"The Axon Aware application with Axon Signal alerts will
significantly improve police officer safety through real-time
location and body-worn camera live-streaming during critical
incidents," says Cincinnati PD's Sgt. Ryan
Smith.
Using Axon's Signal technology, an alert is sent to the mobile
app when a firearm is removed from an officer's holster or a TASER
device is armed. The live stream of the body camera or drone
footage can be accessed remotely and can help the support team
learn more about the officer's location and situation as it
unfolds, allowing everyone to make more informed decisions about
what resources and support to provide.
"We're proud to extend our real-time live stream capabilities to
a remote viewing experience via the app for those times when
officers aren't sitting in front of a computer back at the station
and want to receive intelligence that they can act upon," says
Director of Axon Aware Kevin Shah.
"Today, we are providing better situational awareness and support
to more than 40 agencies that are currently trialing or using the
app."
All of the features on the Axon Aware app are backed by the
digital evidence management solution, Axon Evidence (Evidence.com).
The app supports all mobile devices, including tablets, that run on
iOS 11+ and Android 6+ and is available for download on the App
Store and Google Play Store. To learn more about the Axon Aware
app, please visit

The Axon Aware app is available in the U.S. for Axon Body 3 and
Axon Air customers. In Canada and
the United Kingdom, the Aware app
is available for Axon Air customers immediately and will be
available for Axon Body 3 customers in the future.
