Key Capabilities

Key Features

• Full HD Recording: The AXIS W102 records detailed body worn footage for evidence, incident review and operational accountability. This makes it suitable for security guards, public safety teams, transport staff, compliance officers and frontline personnel who need reliable video from the wearer’s perspective.

• Wide Field of View: The fixed lens provides a wide viewing angle, helping capture more of the surrounding scene from the wearer’s perspective. This supports better incident context when reviewing interactions, movements, locations, people and objects around the camera user.

• Advanced Audio Capture: Digital microphones with advanced noise and wind suppression help record clearer audio in active environments. This is important for body worn evidence because voices, instructions, warnings and surrounding sounds can add meaningful context to recorded video.

• Up to 120 Seconds Buffering: Pre-buffering allows the camera to retain footage from before recording is manually or automatically triggered. This helps capture the lead-up to an incident, reducing the risk of missing critical moments that happened just before the wearer pressed the record button.

• Wi-Fi Live Streaming Support: The AXIS W102 supports live streaming through AXIS Body Worn Live using Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot. This can help supervisors or control rooms view real-time video, audio and metadata during high-risk incidents or situations where immediate awareness is needed.

• GPS/GNSS Positioning: Positioning support helps add location context to body worn footage and operations. This can support patrol verification, incident review, staff safety workflows and situational awareness when reviewing where an event occurred.

• Bluetooth-Based Activation Support: Bluetooth connectivity can be used with compatible activation accessories to help trigger body worn recording automatically. This supports workflows where cameras, holster sensors or nearby compatible devices need to coordinate recording during incidents.

• Secure Evidence Handling: Axis Edge Vault, AES-256 encryption, HTTPS transfer and secure boot help protect the camera, stored footage and transferred evidence from unauthorised access. This supports professional body worn deployments where data integrity, privacy and secure chain-of-custody workflows are important.

• Automatic Docking and Offload: At the end of a shift, users return the camera to a compatible docking station for automatic and secure offloading to the selected management system. This helps simplify evidence handling, charging and camera readiness for the next shift.

• Rugged IP67 Design: The AXIS W102 is built for demanding field use with IP67 protection against dust and water. This makes it suitable for patrols, transport environments, event work, outdoor security and operational roles where weather, movement and everyday wear are expected.

Understanding Body Worn Camera Workflows

The AXIS W102 Body Worn Camera is designed to work as part of a complete body worn system rather than as a simple standalone handheld recorder. Users can take a preassigned camera or use self-assign with RFID, record during a shift, stream live video when required, and then place the camera back into a compatible docking station for automatic charging and secure offload. This workflow helps reduce manual evidence handling, supports shared camera pools and keeps devices ready for the next user.

Tip:
Use the AXIS W102 where body worn footage needs to be securely captured, managed and offloaded as part of a professional evidence workflow. Confirm the required colour variant, docking station, system controller, mounting accessory, storage workflow and video management or evidence management platform before deployment.
