Thesystem is supported by different types of content destinations such as evidence management systems (EMS), video management systems (VMS), and media servers. You can use the Body Worn Integration API to integrate with any third party VMS or EMS. Go to
axis.com/developer-community to join the Axis Developer community, and get access to the Body Worn Integration API documentation.
The system now supports the new AXIS W102 Body Worn Camera, which brings new software features, as well as improved image quality and performance. Dock the camera and try it out or find out more at
axis.com.
AXIS W120 Body Worn Camera can now start recordings on other cameras. When the camera starts recording, it broadcasts to other nearby cameras, which then begin recording too. Turn on Receive wireless broadcast in the camera profile if you want a camera to start recording when it receives the broadcast. Turn on Broadcast wireless signal in the camera profile if you want a camera to start recordings on other cameras.
You can now turn off the alert that tells you if a camera shut down because it ran out of battery during its last session. To turn it off, go to Settings > Camera > Display battery warning.
You can add more than 40 cameras to your system by adding more system controllers. The extension system controllers become instances of the existing system. All settings are inherited from the system to the extension system controllers. You manage the users and cameras that are added to the extension system controller through AXIS Body Worn Manager. For information on how to extend your system by adding more system controllers, see Extend the system.
Select Create a new system if you are configuring a single system controller setup, or if you are configuring the first system controller in a multi system controller setup. Select Extend an existing system if you want to add more system controllers to your existing system. In this step you can also choose your preferred language for the body worn system.
Install the latest firmware. You can download firmware on
axis.com. We support different firmware tracks for the body worn system. This lets you choose the firmware best suited for your system, whether you want all the latest features from the Latest (active) firmware track, or you prioritize stability from the Long-term support (LTS) firmware track. See System firmware for more information.
Name your body worn system. This makes it easier identifying it in your content destination and in different cloud services, and when you receive email notifications about critical system events. You can change the system name under Settings in AXIS Body Worn Manager.
Cloud extensions. The body worn system comes with a set of standard features out of the box. The Cloud extensions are a set of additional cloud-based capabilities that, for example, give you improved location data performance. You can choose to enable Cloud extensions in AXIS Body Worn Manager at any time. However once enabled, Cloud extensions can't be turned off without resetting the system. See Cloud extensions for more information.
The connection file connects the body worn system to the content destination. The content destination is where your recordings and metadata are stored and managed. The body worn system is locked to a content destination once connected to it. To change to another content destination, you need to reset the body worn system first. See Content destinations for more information.
The System restore key is an important security feature. The body worn system requires a System restore key for certain operations. These operations include for instance, reestablishing the connection between the body worn system and the existing cameras, after replacing a system controller that has failed. Download the System restore key to your computer and store it in a secure location.
Select the power line frequency that is used in your region. With the right frequency, there is less image flicker. The American regions usually use 60 Hz. The rest of the world mostly uses 50 Hz. If you're not sure of your region's power line frequency, check with the local authorities.
The content destination stores and manages your recordings and metadata. A content destination is for example an EMS (evidence management system), a VMS (video management system), or a media server. The Axis body worn solution supports a number of different content destinations.
All content destinations require a connection file to integrate with the Axis body worn system. The connection file is generated in your content destination. For information about how to generate the connection file, check the user help in your content destination.
A recording transferred to AXIS Case Insight is associated with a user. The AXIS Case Insight user corresponds to the person wearing the camera, the camera user. The association makes it easier to search for and collect recordings made by a specific person, for example when you create a case.
The system backup saves all your settings to an extension system controller. It lets you restore the body worn system in the unlikely event that the system controller, on which the system was initially created, malfunctions. The backup includes all users, camera profiles, camera assignment, and system settings. The backup is updated automatically every 24 hours. System backup is available for systems with more than one system controller.
You can manually backup the system at any time instead of waiting for the scheduled backup. This ensures that all your data and settings can be saved on demand. To manually start the backup, go to Settings > System > System backup and click Backup now.
Use camera profiles to apply the same camera settings to a group of users. You can for example create different profiles for the day and night shifts. A default camera profile is assigned to new users.
The prebuffer has dedicated space on the camera storage. When you use the maximum resolution 1080p in complex scenes with a lot of movement, or in low light, the prebuffer memory can become full. If the memory gets full, it results in a slightly shorter prebuffer time than configured.
The camera vibrates at regular intervals while recording. This works as a reminder as well as a confirmation that the camera is recording. This is mainly suitable for incident based recording. Select a preferred interval for the periodic reminder.
The camera vibrates and beeps at regular intervals when recording is off. This is mainly suitable for continuous recording since it reminds the user to start recording again, for example, after taking a break. Select a preferred interval for the periodic reminder. Turn on Escalating to gradually increase the frequency of the reminders.
Disables the main body worn camera's recording button (used to start and stop recordings) when the mini cube sensor is connected. Select this option if you want to use the recording button on the mini cube sensor only.
The camera user taps a self-assign tag on an RFID reader connected to the system. The system then assigns the user to an available camera. LEDs on the self-assigned camera flash green to indicate that the user can undock the camera.
For some body worn systems, the hardware is installed in different locations, and for others, the entire system is in the same room. You can choose between globally self-assigning any camera available in the whole body worn system, or locally self-assigning a camera at the same location as the card reader:
In combination with prebuffer, automatic recording activation ensures that the whole incident is captured without the need for the camera user to manually start a recording. You can set up cameras to start recording automatically using:
Fall detection triggers video recording automatically when the person wearing the camera falls. In combination with prebuffer, this feature ensures that the whole incident is captured without manual activation.
A holster sensor detects unholstering to automatically trigger video recording. In combination with prebuffer, this feature ensures that the whole incident is captured without manual activation. This feature requires pairing the camera user with a Yardarm holster sensor.
You can also include the continuously updated position for a recording as an overlay in the video. To turn this on, go to Overlay in the camera profile and turn on Position.
The Allow access to recordings setting lets you decide whether the camera user can view recordings in AXIS Body Worn Assistant, or not. You can turn it on or off in the camera profile. To turn off access to recordings:
You can use certificates for authenticating devices on a network, and enable encrypted web browsing using HTTPS. We recommend that you use HTTPS to securely connect to your body worn system. See Allow HTTPS only.
The Dashboard gives you an overview of your devices and system health. It also highlights any issues that require attention. If there are any issues the page gives you easy access and help to fix the problem.
Click the camera and go to the Battery health tab. To get an indication of the battery status, check how many times the camera has shut down in the last 30 days, and how many hours it was used in the last session.
Connect a functioning docking station to the same docking station port on the system controller. If the message disappears, the original docking station is faulty and should be replaced. If the message remains, continue to next step.
If the connection to the content destination is lost, a possible solution is to replace the current connection file with a new one. The connection can get lost when the content destination gets a new IP address, or when certain configurations are changed in the content destination.
