Product Overview
For organisations deploying Axis body worn cameras where real-time situational awareness is a priority, AXIS Body Worn Live provides a web-based live streaming application that runs independently of any VMS or EMS platform. This 1-year Axis-hosted licence, part number 02724-001, enables authorised operators to view live video, audio, and metadata streamed directly from body worn cameras on any PC, tablet, or Android mobile device without requiring local server infrastructure. Featuring full end-to-end encryption with customer-managed encryption keys, CJIS compliant data transfer, and multi-factor authentication through MyAxis, the solution is designed for public safety and law enforcement environments where data handling standards are non-negotiable. Stream acknowledge functionality allows camera-button-triggered live streams, timeline scrubbing within a live session, and instant return to live view, while stream gap retrieval helps recover footage interrupted by connectivity issues. A 24-hour data retention window supports active incident review without long-term storage overhead.
Key Capabilities
End-to-End Encryption with Customer-Owned Keys
All streamed video, audio, and metadata is fully end-to-end encrypted. Critically, the customer retains ownership of their own encryption keys, meaning Axis itself cannot access the content – an important distinction for agencies with strict data sovereignty requirements.
CJIS Compliant Data Transfer
Designed to meet Criminal Justice Information Services standards, this licence supports law enforcement and public safety deployments where compliant handling of sensitive data during transfer is a mandatory operational and legal requirement.
VMS and EMS Independent Operation
AXIS Body Worn Live operates entirely independently of any video management system or evidence management system. Organisations can deploy live streaming capability without requiring changes to their existing recording or evidence infrastructure.
Stream Acknowledge and Live Control Features
Officers can trigger a live stream directly from the camera button. Supervisors can scrub the timeline within a live stream session and jump back to live view instantly, giving control room operators meaningful real-time incident oversight without complex software.
Role-Based Access and Multi-Factor Authentication
Centralised role-based access is managed through AXIS Organization, with multi-factor authentication enforced via MyAxis. This limits stream visibility to authorised personnel only and creates an auditable access structure suitable for chain-of-custody sensitive environments.
Best For
- Law Enforcement and Public Safety Agencies: CJIS compliant data transfer and customer-owned encryption keys directly address the data handling obligations faced by police and emergency services using body worn cameras in the field.
- Control Room Supervisors Requiring Real-Time Oversight: Stream acknowledge and timeline scrubbing within live sessions allow supervisors to monitor unfolding incidents without waiting for footage to be uploaded after the fact.
- Organisations Without Existing VMS Infrastructure: Because AXIS Body Worn Live runs independently of any VMS or EMS, it suits agencies that need live body worn streaming capability without overhauling or integrating into an existing video management platform.
- Multi-Site or Mobile Deployments Requiring Cloud-Hosted Access: The Axis-hosted model removes the need for on-premises server infrastructure, making it practical for teams operating across multiple locations or in environments where local server deployment is not feasible.
Why Choose the AXIS Body Worn Live Licence (02724-001)
The 02724-001 licence delivers a hosted live streaming layer that sits entirely outside traditional VMS architecture, removing a significant barrier for agencies that need real-time body worn camera visibility but cannot or do not want to extend their existing recording infrastructure. The combination of CJIS compliant data transfer, full end-to-end encryption with customer-managed keys, and enforced multi-factor authentication through MyAxis sets this apart from general-purpose live streaming tools that were not built with public safety data standards in mind. Stream gap retrieval addresses the practical reality of field connectivity interruptions, automatically recovering stream segments that would otherwise be lost. The Axis-hosted deployment model means no server procurement, no internal IT overhead for hosting, and no long-term maintenance burden. Available through Security Wholesalers, the 02724-001 is a 1-year licence suited to agencies that require a compliant, encrypted, operationally independent live streaming solution for Axis body worn camera programs.
Buyer Decision Tips
Axis-Hosted vs Self-Hosted: Part number 02724-001 is the Axis-hosted variant, meaning Axis manages the cloud infrastructure on your behalf. If your organisation requires complete control over the hosting environment for compliance, sovereignty, or policy reasons, the self-hosted variant carries a different part number (03080-001). Confirm your agency’s data residency and infrastructure policy before purchasing to ensure you select the correct hosting model from the outset.
Licence Term and Renewal Planning: This is a 1-year licence. For agencies running body worn camera programs continuously, plan licence renewal before expiry to avoid interruption to live streaming capability. Because stream acknowledge and gap retrieval depend on an active licence, lapsed licences will disable these features until renewed. Build renewal into your annual procurement cycle to maintain uninterrupted operational access.

Ideal Use Cases
Police Operations and Incident Command
CJIS compliant data transfer and customer-owned encryption keys make this licence appropriate for law enforcement agencies streaming live body worn footage to command supervisors during active incidents, protests, or critical events.
Control Room Oversight During Field Operations
Stream acknowledge lets officers initiate a live stream from the body worn camera itself, while control room supervisors can scrub the timeline and jump to live view, enabling informed, real-time decision-making without radio-only communication.
Organisations Without On-Premises Server Capacity
The Axis-hosted model removes the need for local server procurement and maintenance. Agencies with limited IT infrastructure or geographically distributed teams can access live streaming capability through a web browser without internal hosting overhead.
Field Teams with Intermittent Connectivity
Stream gap retrieval automatically recovers stream segments lost due to connectivity interruptions in the field, reducing the risk of incomplete live session records caused by network gaps in mobile or remote environments.
Short-Term Incident Review Without Long-Term Storage
The 24-hour data retention window supports active review of recent live session footage without the administrative burden of a long-term evidence storage system, suited to operational review workflows rather than formal evidentiary archiving.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your organisation uses Axis body worn cameras, requires CJIS compliant live streaming, and is comfortable with Axis managing the hosting infrastructure – eliminating the need for on-premises servers while retaining customer-owned encryption keys.
- Choose a different model if: Your agency’s data sovereignty, compliance, or IT policy requires all infrastructure to be hosted internally or within a government-approved private cloud environment. In that case, the self-hosted variant (part number 03080-001) would be the appropriate alternative to evaluate.
- Choose a different model if: Your requirement is for long-term evidence storage or integration with a VMS or digital evidence management platform rather than real-time live streaming. AXIS Body Worn Live is a live streaming tool, not an evidence management or recording system.
FAQs
- What does the 02724-001 licence actually activate?
It activates a 1-year subscription to AXIS Body Worn Live under the Axis-hosted deployment model. This gives authorised users access to a web-based application for viewing live video, audio, and metadata streamed from Axis body worn cameras, along with features including stream acknowledge, stream gap retrieval, and 24-hour data retention.
- Is this licence hosted by Axis or do I need my own server?
Part number 02724-001 is the Axis-hosted variant, meaning Axis manages the cloud infrastructure on your behalf. You do not need to provision or maintain any on-premises servers to use AXIS Body Worn Live under this licence. If your organisation requires self-hosted infrastructure, a separate part number applies.
- Who controls the encryption keys?
Despite Axis hosting the infrastructure, the customer retains ownership of their own encryption keys. This means Axis does not have access to the streamed content. Customer-managed keys are a critical requirement for many public safety and law enforcement deployments and are confirmed as a feature of this licence.
- What does CJIS compliance mean in the context of this product?
CJIS refers to Criminal Justice Information Services standards, which govern how sensitive criminal justice data must be handled, transmitted, and protected in the United States and by agencies interfacing with US federal law enforcement systems. AXIS Body Worn Live is confirmed to support CJIS compliant data transfer, making it suitable for law enforcement agencies with these obligations.
- What devices can be used to view the live stream?
AXIS Body Worn Live is a web-based application accessible from PCs, tablets, and Android mobile devices. Because it runs in a browser independently of any VMS or EMS, no additional software installation is required on the viewing device beyond standard browser access and authenticated login via MyAxis.
- What happens to footage after 24 hours?
AXIS Body Worn Live retains streamed data for 24 hours. This window is designed for active incident review and operational oversight rather than long-term evidence storage. Agencies requiring extended retention or formal evidentiary archiving should ensure a separate evidence management solution is in place alongside this licence.
- Where can I purchase this licence in Australia?
The 02724-001 AXIS Body Worn Live 1-year licence is available through Security Wholesalers. Confirm regional availability at time of purchase, as this Axis-hosted variant is listed for the AU region among others.
