Axis W120 Body Worn Camera 2MP 1080p Wide Angle 137 Degree IP67 64GB Wi-Fi LTE Black

Product Overview

For frontline security professionals, law enforcement officers, and field-based teams who require evidential-grade footage from a body-worn platform, the Axis W120 Body Worn Camera delivers 1080p Full HD recording, built-in Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, and AES-256 hardware encryption in a wearable form factor weighing just 200 g. Equipped with a 137-degree wide-angle lens and a 1/2.9-inch CMOS sensor sensitive to 0.1 lux, it captures usable footage across the full range of field lighting conditions without supplemental IR. Featuring a configurable pre-buffer of up to 120 seconds, the W120 begins capturing events before the officer manually triggers recording, reducing the risk of missing critical moments. It also integrates a built-in GNSS receiver that continuously logs location data alongside video, and dual microphones with voice enhancement for clear audio capture in noisy environments. With 64 GB of onboard encrypted storage holding up to 30 hours of footage, the AXIS W120 is well suited to extended operational deployments where chain-of-custody integrity is non-negotiable.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Security Guard Deployments: The KlickFast mounting system, 15-hour battery life, and 64 GB encrypted storage suit extended shift use by security personnel on patrol or stationed at venues.
• Law Enforcement and Compliance Officers: AES-256 hardware encryption, GNSS logging, and secure boot align with evidential chain-of-custody requirements for officers who need footage admissible in formal proceedings.
• Field Teams Requiring Cellular Connectivity: LTE CAT4 with a Nano SIM slot keeps the camera connected to management systems even when officers are beyond Wi-Fi range, enabling live status monitoring and remote configuration.
• Organisations Needing Stealth Recording Capability: Stealth mode allows recording to begin without visible activation indicators, suited to undercover or sensitive operational scenarios where overt recording may compromise the situation.

Why Choose the Axis W120

The Axis W120 is not simply a recording device worn on a body. It is a fully connected field endpoint with hardware-level encryption, cellular uplink capability, and automatic GNSS location tagging built in from the ground up. Where basic body-worn cameras store footage locally with no tamper protection and no connectivity, the W120 uses the Axis Edge Vault platform to apply AES-256 encryption directly in hardware, so footage is protected the moment it is written to the 64 GB internal storage. The 120-second configurable pre-buffer is a capability that lower-cost alternatives frequently omit or limit severely, yet it is often the footage captured before an officer triggers recording that matters most in an investigation. Dual microphones with voice enhancement ensure audio holds up in noisy field conditions. Available through Security Wholesalers, the AXIS W120 is a purpose-built professional-grade body-worn camera suited to organisations where evidentiary integrity and operational connectivity are non-negotiable.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: Your organisation requires a body-worn camera with built-in LTE cellular connectivity, hardware-level AES-256 encryption via Axis Edge Vault, continuous GNSS location logging, and a configurable pre-buffer of up to 120 seconds for evidential-grade recording across extended field shifts.
• Choose a different model if: Your deployment requires a fixed mounting point for wide-area overwatch rather than a wearable perspective. A bullet or turret-style fixed camera would be more appropriate for static monitoring of building perimeters, car parks, or access points where officer-mounted footage is not needed.
• Consider system infrastructure first: The W120 is designed to operate within a managed body-worn ecosystem. Organisations without an existing Axis Body Worn Manager environment should factor in system controller hardware and software requirements before procurement to ensure the camera’s automatic offload and fleet management features are accessible from day one.

FAQs

1. Does the Axis W120 record continuously, or only when triggered?
   The W120 supports both manual trigger recording and automatic activation. The pre-buffer records up to 120 seconds before the officer triggers the camera, so footage from just before an incident begins is not lost. Location via the GNSS receiver is logged continuously regardless of recording state, providing a persistent location trail throughout the shift.
2. How long does the battery last during a full shift?
   The 3600 mAh battery provides up to 15 hours of operating time when recording at 720p, and up to 13.5 hours at Full HD 1080p. The camera can be charged on-the-go using any standard USB-C charger, making it possible to top up during a break without replacing the unit or returning to a docking station mid-shift.
3. Is the footage on the W120 encrypted, and can it be tampered with?
   All footage stored on the 64 GB internal memory is encrypted using AES-256-bit hardware encryption via the Axis Edge Vault platform, meeting CJIS approval standards. Data in transit is protected by HTTPS and TLS. Secure boot prevents unauthorised firmware from loading, ensuring the encryption and recording integrity cannot be bypassed at the device level.
4. What LTE bands does the W120 support, and do I need a SIM card?
   The W120 supports LTE CAT4 on Bands B1, B3, B7, B8, B20, and B28, which covers the majority of Australian mobile carriers on 4G networks. A Nano SIM card is required for LTE connectivity and is not included with the camera. Confirm that your carrier supports these bands before SIM provisioning for a fleet deployment.
5. How is the W120 mounted on an officer’s body?
   The W120 uses the KlickFast mounting system, a widely adopted attachment standard in the body-worn camera industry that allows rapid attachment and detachment from compatible clips, holsters, and harnesses. KlickFast accessories are available separately and are compatible with a range of uniform configurations including epaulettes, chest harnesses, and belt clips.
6. Can the W120 record location data alongside video automatically?
   Yes. The built-in GNSS receiver logs location data continuously throughout the shift and embeds coordinates alongside video footage. This occurs automatically without officer input, providing a full location history that investigators can use to map officer movements against recorded events during post-incident review.
7. Where can I purchase the Axis W120 in Australia, and is it suited to multi-unit fleet procurement?
   The AXIS W120 is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is available as a single unit under part number 02583-002. For fleet deployments, the camera is designed to integrate with Axis Body Worn Manager for centralised assignment, monitoring, and evidence retrieval across multiple units. Contact the Security Wholesalers team to discuss volume procurement or system integration requirements specific to your organisation.
