Page 4 of 24 Axon February 2019 Release Notes Overview This document has Axon product release information for February 2019, along with advanced notice of major upcoming features, updates, and applications. Important Information for Evidence Sync users with Axon Body 2 We recently discovered an uncommon situation with Evidence Sync that could lead to the potential loss of evidence on your Axon Body 2 body worn cameras. If the computer running Evidence Sync enters sleep mode while you are using Evidence Sync to upload evidence from an Axon Body 2 camera and you swap to a different body worn camera while the computer is still in sleep mode, Evidence Sync may be unable to detect that the cameras have changed and may upload evidence as if it were from the original camera. When this occurs, evidence from the new camera may get deleted without being successfully uploaded. This is a very unlikely situation, but evidence integrity is Axon's top priority and we wanted to share some best practices to prevent this from happening until we can update Evidence Sync to eliminate this potential. • When uploading videos using Evidence Sync, do not let your computer enter sleep mode. You can change your power management settings to prevent the computer from entering sleep mode. • If your computer does enter sleep mode while using Evidence Sync, then wake-up your computer and resume Evidence Sync operation prior to changing devices. We are updating Evidence Sync to prevent this issue and expect to release the new version in March, 2019. As always, Axon highly recommends that you use the latest version of Evidence Sync with your Axon devices. Axon Evidence.com February Release Updates The Axon Evidence.com February release is scheduled for February 26, 2019. We do not expect any downtime during the update. Please refer to the Evidence.com Maintenance Schedule on the Axon website for information on the update schedule times for your region. Note: The release for customers in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom occurs one week after the above scheduled release date, on March 5, 2019 between 1-3 PM PT. Axon Enterprise, Inc.

What is coming in the February Axon Evidence.com release: Evidence Groups With the February release, Axon is adding the new Evidence Groups functionality. Evidence Groups build on-top of the existing Group feature in Axon Evidence.com to enable agencies to automatically assign evidence ownership to a Group and automate evidence access based on group membership. While users can be members/monitors of multiple groups at one time, each user and each piece of evidence can only be assigned to one Evidence Group at one time. Evidence Groups are not a new resource in Axon Evidence.com. Every existing Group can use the Evidence Group functionality. Each piece of evidence will still have a Recorded By attribute, which must be populated with a User, but will now also have an associated Evidence Group attribute. The primary difference between a Group and an Evidence Group is how they enable access to evidence. Group Monitors are allowed to access all evidence owned by Group Members, as long as the user that recorded the evidence is still a member of the group. Evidence Groups allows evidence to be assigned to a group and for users with the appropriate permissions to be able to access that evidence. This ensures users with a supervisor role can always access all evidence assigned to their groups; even if the user that recorded the evidence is no longer a member
