Product Overview
Deploying body-worn cameras across a large security team requires hardware that is rugged, encrypted, connected, and built for real-world field conditions. The AXIS W120 Body Worn Camera is designed for exactly this kind of enterprise-scale rollout, supplied here as a 24-pack for organisations equipping entire shifts or departments. Each unit records at 2MP with a 137-degree horizontal field of view, backed by built-in 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth connectivity to support direct live streaming via AXIS Body Worn Live. Featuring AES-256 encryption and the Axis Edge Vault cybersecurity platform, every recording is protected from capture to storage. The 64 GB internal memory, 15-hour battery life at 720p, and configurable pre- and post-event buffering make the W120 suitable for extended patrols and unpredictable incident response. It is well suited to commercial security teams, corrections facilities, healthcare security, and event management operations requiring a connected, verifiable body-worn solution at scale.
Key Capabilities
4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth Connectivity
The W120 includes a Nano-SIM slot for 4G LTE alongside Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 5.1, enabling live video streaming directly from the officer to control rooms via AXIS Body Worn Live. This eliminates the need to dock or return to base before footage can be reviewed.
AES-256 Encryption and Axis Edge Vault
Every recording is protected with AES-256 encryption on-device, backed by the Axis Edge Vault cybersecurity platform. This hardware-based chain of trust ensures footage integrity from the moment of capture, which is critical for evidentiary use and regulatory compliance.
Built-in GNSS with Multi-Constellation Support
The W120 continuously records location data using GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. Each recording is automatically geo-tagged, providing verifiable location evidence for incident reports without relying on a separate device or manual logging by the officer.
15-Hour Battery with Configurable Buffering
The 3600 mAh Li-ion battery delivers up to 15 hours of recording at 720p, covering full shift deployments. Configurable pre-event buffering (up to 60 seconds) and post-event buffering (up to 30 seconds) ensure critical moments are captured even when recording was not manually triggered at the exact moment of incident.
Electronic Image Stabilization and Wide Field of View
Electronic image stabilization at 720p reduces motion blur during active patrol and physical incidents, while the 137-degree horizontal field of view captures broad scene context even when the camera shifts position on the officer’s body.
Dual Microphones with Noise Suppression
Two built-in microphones record audio at 48 kHz with noise suppression applied. A dedicated two-channel mode optimised for post-processing allows audio tracks to be separated after the fact, which is valuable for transcription, evidence review, and complaint investigations.

Why Choose the AXIS W120
The AXIS W120 addresses the two most common failure points in body-worn camera deployments: connectivity gaps and footage integrity. Where basic body-worn cameras store footage locally with no live visibility, the W120 uses onboard 4G LTE and Wi-Fi 5 to stream directly to AXIS Body Worn Live, keeping control room operators informed during active incidents. The Axis Edge Vault platform and AES-256 encryption distinguish this unit from body cameras that apply encryption only during upload rather than at the point of capture. The integrated GNSS receiver supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou continuously logs location alongside video, removing the need for manual incident logging. The 2MP sensor, 137-degree field of view, and electronic image stabilization make footage usable for review and reporting even under physically demanding conditions. Available through Security Wholesalers, the 24-pack format simplifies procurement for organisations standardising body-worn camera equipment across a team.
Buyer Tip – SIM and Network Planning: The AXIS W120 supports 4G LTE live streaming via AXIS Body Worn Live, but this requires an active Nano-SIM (4FF format) with a data plan in each unit. Plan SIM provisioning before deployment, particularly for large teams, as each of the 24 cameras will need its own SIM if live streaming is required for all officers simultaneously. Wi-Fi offload is available as an alternative where site coverage permits.
Buyer Tip – System Controller Requirement: The AXIS W120 is designed to operate as part of the Axis Body Worn system. A compatible system controller is required for fleet management, docking, and centralised footage offload. Confirm system controller capacity and licensing before procuring this 24-pack to ensure your infrastructure can accommodate the full fleet size on day one.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are equipping 24 or more officers with a connected body-worn camera that supports live 4G streaming, AES-256 encrypted on-device storage, automatic GNSS location tagging, and full-shift battery coverage within the Axis Body Worn ecosystem.
- Choose a different model if: Your deployment requires fewer than 24 units and you do not need the per-unit cost efficiency of a bulk 24-pack, or if your infrastructure does not yet include a compatible Axis Body Worn system controller to manage and offload footage from the fleet.
FAQs
- What wireless connectivity options does the AXIS W120 support?
The W120 includes 4G LTE via a Nano-SIM (4FF) slot, Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and Bluetooth 5.1. The 4G connection enables live streaming via AXIS Body Worn Live when officers are out of Wi-Fi range. Wi-Fi offload can be used when officers return to base, and Bluetooth supports accessories and peripheral pairing.
- How does the AXIS W120 protect recorded footage from tampering?
The W120 uses AES-256 encryption applied at the point of capture, not just during transfer. This is backed by the Axis Edge Vault cybersecurity platform, a hardware-level security environment that protects cryptographic keys and verifies device identity. This architecture provides a verifiable chain of custody from recording through to storage.
- How long does the battery last, and does it cover a full shift?
The 3600 mAh Li-ion battery provides up to 15 hours of recording time at 720p. For standard 8 to 12 hour security shifts, this covers the full duration without requiring mid-shift charging. Recording at 1080p will reduce battery runtime, so deployment mode selection should be matched to shift length requirements.
- What does the configurable pre-event buffer do in practice?
The pre-event buffer records continuously in a rolling loop of 0, 15, 30, or 60 seconds, appending this footage to the front of any manually triggered recording. This means that when an officer activates the camera after an incident has already begun, up to 60 seconds of footage captured before activation is retained, closing the gap between event onset and manual trigger.
- What mounting system does the AXIS W120 use?
The W120 is compatible with the KlickFast mounting system, a widely used body-worn accessory standard that allows the camera to be attached to chest harnesses, epaulette mounts, and vest clips. KlickFast accessories are sold separately; confirm compatibility with your existing uniform or vest kit before deployment.
- Does the AXIS W120 require a system controller, and what does it do?
Yes. The W120 is designed to operate within the Axis Body Worn system, which requires a compatible system controller for fleet management, centralised docking and footage offload, user assignment, and configuration. The 24-pack should be procured alongside confirmed system controller capacity and appropriate licensing to manage all 24 cameras from day one.
