Taser is giving out free body cameras to law enforcement organizations in the U.S.A with one free year of access to the company’s cloud storage service, Evidence.com.

In addition, on Wednesday, the company also announced that it would be changing its name to “Axon” to reflect the company’s flagship body camera product.

Right now, Axon is the single largest vendor of body cameras in America. It vastly outsells smaller competitors, including VieVu and Digital Ally—the company has profited $90 million from 2012 through 2016.

Axon expects "80 percent to become customers,” but only needs a 20-30% conversion to make a profit.
