Why Axis body worn

An Open Body Worn System, Not a Locked Ecosystem

Many body camera programs tie you to one vendor's cloud and one evidence platform. Axis body worn systems are built on open architecture.

Axis cameras, docks and the AXIS W800 System Controller send video to the content destination you choose: AXIS Camera Station Pro, a third-party VMS or an evidence management system (EMS), on site or in the cloud. Axis documents that a body worn system only works when connected to a content destination, so BTI designs that connection first.

As an Axis Gold Partner with offices in California, Illinois and Arizona, BTI Communications Group handles the full lifecycle: program and policy planning, camera and dock sizing, network and storage design, installation, training and ongoing support.

What it does

What Axis Body Worn Cameras Deliver

Capture the whole encounter

Pre-buffering captures what happened before the record button was pressed: up to 120 seconds on the W120 and W102, and up to 90 seconds on the W110.

Live streaming for backup

The W120 streams over built-in LTE/4G with location tracking. AXIS Body Worn Live streams video, audio and metadata in real time, hosted by Axis or by you, independent of VMS or EMS.

Automatic activation

The W102 records automatically if the wearer draws a weapon or falls, and can trigger nearby cameras via Bluetooth. Nearby W110 wearables can activate when one person starts recording.

Shift-ready logistics

Staff self-assign any camera with an RFID tag or take a preassigned one. When docked, the camera charges, offloads and becomes available for the next user.

Security built in

Axis Edge Vault, secure boot and AES 256 encryption at rest, with end-to-end XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption for live streams on the W120 and W102.

Central management

AXIS Body Worn Manager Pro manages large, distributed body worn systems centrally from a Windows application with Active Directory integration.

Integration

Body Worn Video Where Your Team Already Works

AXIS Camera Station Pro

Axis lists the W100, W101, W102 and W120 as compatible with AXIS Camera Station Pro, so body worn video sits next to fixed cameras and access events. See AXIS Camera Station.

Third-party VMS and EMS

Open architecture lets the W120 work with the video or evidence management system you choose, on site or in the cloud.

Content destination API

Axis publishes a body worn content destination API on developer.axis.com, so a VMS or EMS can receive recordings and metadata pushed from the AXIS W800 System Controller.

Analytics and fixed cameras

Combine body worn evidence with fixed-camera analytics and security radar events for a complete incident record. See video analytics software.

Workplace safety

Body worn cameras are one layer of a safety program with duress, intercom and mass notification. See workplace safety solutions.

Supported after go-live

Dock, controller and offload health can be watched by the BTI 24/7 NOC/SOC. See managed security support.

Integration options depend on your VMS or EMS and its version. BTI confirms them during design.

Where it fits

Which Axis body camera is right for us?

Per Axis, the W120 adds built-in LTE/4G live streaming and location tracking, the W102 is built for officers and guards with automatic recording on weapon draw or fall, and the W110 and W111 are compact cameras for frontline staff in retail, transportation and care settings.

Yes. The W120 streams over built-in LTE/4G, and the W102 streams over Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot with AXIS Body Worn Live, which can be hosted by Axis or by you.

How long does the battery last?

Axis states the W120 has a battery life of up to 15 hours with USB-C charging on the go, and the W111 battery lasts a full shift. Actual life depends on recording and streaming settings.

Are Axis body worn cameras secure?

Axis body worn cameras use Axis Edge Vault, secure boot and AES 256 encryption, with end-to-end XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption for live streams on the W120 and W102.

Can staff share cameras across shifts?
