“ 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 .
The new SPPM is designed to automatically activate the 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 .

How it Works

“ 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 .”
The cameras can sense the Smart Weapon status change and start recording . SPPM units have begun shipping and are available now . Axon Flex body worn camera controller with Signal Enabled Logo .
