To use the technology, police officers wear them to law

To use the technology, police officers wear them to law enforcement headquarters and offices throughout the United States. The system uses a camera mounted in a holster, which is often located on a body, and is also attached to a device to record the location of the camera's camera.

The footage can then be stored in an encrypted archive on a device such as a smartphone, or on the Axon's website.

"We're now at the limit of what we can do with live video," said Charles J. Cipriano, an industry analyst for Axon. "It's not a perfect solution."

Axon's next target for law enforcement is a mass surveillance unit. The company intends to build a prototype of the system in the coming weeks. Cipriano said the product could be the first of its kind in the United States.

"Our goal is to have a mass surveillance system in the United States where the police have to have the video footage of the action, and then the government can look at it and figure out if it's going to be used to solve crimes," Cipriano said.

The new Axon body cameras also include an electronic camera, which could be used to record all the camera data. Cipriano said the company is working on developing the system for police agencies that have a body camera for every citizen, including those who use body cameras on other devices. The goal is to have the cameras in the U.S. in 2017, he said.

Axon is developing an array of body-worn cameras that include body-worn GPS technologies, which allow police to record and use data from a smartphone or tablet. Cipriano said the company hopes to have the system in place by the end of the year and that the company will release the system in the second half of this year.

Cipriano added that he expects the camera to run on iOS and Android phones, as well as tablets that use the Axon cameras.

Although police departments are prohibited from using body cameras on the street, Cipriano said his company currently plans to make the cameras mandatory for all police departments nationwide.

"We're looking at a wide-body camera. We're also looking for a body-worn camera that can be used in the field of law enforcement to record all the video and images on all the devices," he said.

The Axon Police Body 3 cameras could be deployed to any law enforcement organization, he said.
