Product Overview
For security teams running fleets of Axis body worn cameras, the AXIS W703 8-Bay Docking Station brings charging and data offload together in a single compact unit. Designed to work directly with the Axis W101 and W120 body worn cameras and the Axis W800 System Controller, the W703 handles up to 8 cameras simultaneously using Pogo pin pad connections, so there are no fiddly individual cables at each bay. Data offload runs at 100 Mbit/s per camera across a shielded RJ45 network connection, keeping transfer times short at the end of each shift. Powered by a 12V DC adapter included in the box, the unit draws up to 120W at full capacity. Its splash-proof plastic housing and wall-mount capability make it practical for locker rooms, charge rooms, and operations areas. Organisations managing larger deployments can scale by adding additional docks as the camera fleet grows.
Key Capabilities
8-Bay Simultaneous Charging
Charge up to 8 Axis body worn cameras at once from a single 12V DC, 120W adapter. Pogo pin pad connections mean cameras simply drop into their bays with no individual cables to manage, reducing handling time at the start and end of each shift.
100 Mbit/s Per-Camera Data Offload
Each docked camera offloads footage at up to 100 Mbit/s over the docking station’s shielded RJ45 network connection. Fast throughput keeps overnight data transfers manageable even when all 8 bays are occupied and shift footage is large.
Fleet Scalability
Organisations with growing body worn camera deployments can add further W703 docks to match fleet size. Integration with the Axis W800 System Controller allows centralised management of all docks and cameras from a single interface without redesigning the infrastructure.
Network Protocol Support
The W703 supports IPv4, IPv6, HTTPS, DNS, NTP, DHCP, and Bonjour, making it compatible with standard enterprise network environments. The shielded Gigabit-capable RJ45 port handles both management traffic and high-speed data offload without requiring separate connections.
Practical Housing and Mounting
The compact plastic housing (52 mm H x 128 mm W x 425 mm D, 800 g) is splash-proof and mounts to a wall via included screws. Its slim profile suits locker rooms and operations areas where bench space is limited. The unit is also PVC-free and RCM-certified for Australian compliance.
Best For
- Body Worn Camera Fleet Charging: Charges up to 8 Axis W101 or W120 cameras simultaneously via Pogo pin pads, removing the need for individual cable management at each bay.
- End-of-Shift Data Offload: The 100 Mbit/s per-camera throughput allows footage from a full bay of 8 cameras to offload quickly, keeping shift handover efficient.
- Scalable Deployments Managed via W800: Teams expanding their body worn camera fleet can add further W703 docks, all managed centrally through the Axis W800 System Controller without changing the existing network layout.
Why Choose the AXIS W703 Docking Station
The AXIS W703 is the purpose-built charging and offload solution for Axis body worn camera programmes, not a generic multi-device charger. Its Pogo pin pad design means cameras dock in one motion with no cable fumbling, which matters when security officers are rotating in and out of shifts quickly. With 100 Mbit/s dedicated throughput per camera slot, the W703 moves footage off cameras and into secure storage faster than many docking solutions operating on shared bandwidth. The included power adapter, wall-mount hardware, and PVC-free construction reduce site preparation effort. Compatibility with the W800 System Controller gives fleet administrators centralised visibility across all docks. The 3-year manufacturer warranty and RCM certification for Australia back the unit for professional deployment. The AXIS W703 is available through Security Wholesalers for organisations building or expanding Axis body worn camera programmes in Australia.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The W703 is exclusively compatible with the Axis W101 and W120 body worn cameras operating with the Axis W800 System Controller. Before ordering, confirm your body worn camera model and that your site has the W800 controller in place. If your team is still on a different body worn platform, the W703 will not function as a standalone charger for non-Axis devices.

Ideal Use Cases
Security Operations Centres
Wall-mount the W703 in a central charge room so outgoing and returning officers can dock cameras in one motion using Pogo pin pads. All 8 bays charge and offload simultaneously, keeping the fleet camera-ready between shifts without manual intervention.
Law Enforcement and Corrections
Facilities requiring secure, auditable footage offload benefit from the W703’s 100 Mbit/s per-camera throughput and HTTPS-secured network transport. Footage moves quickly from camera to the W800-managed storage environment at the end of each operational period.
Retail and Loss Prevention Teams
Retail operators deploying Axis W101 or W120 cameras across loss prevention staff can centralise charging and offload in a back-office location. The compact 128 mm width keeps bench space requirements minimal in smaller stock rooms or admin areas.
Scalable Enterprise Body Worn Programmes
Organisations growing their body worn camera fleet can add additional W703 docks without redesigning infrastructure. Each additional unit connects to the existing W800 System Controller, extending fleet capacity in multiples of 8 cameras per dock added.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your organisation uses Axis W101 or W120 body worn cameras with the Axis W800 System Controller, and you need to charge and offload data from up to 8 cameras simultaneously in a wall-mounted charge room setup.
- Choose a different model if: Your body worn cameras are from a different manufacturer, as the W703 is specifically designed for the Axis body worn ecosystem and its Pogo pin interface is not compatible with other brands. If your fleet requires fewer than 8 bays, review whether a smaller dock configuration is available within the Axis range to reduce upfront cost.
FAQs
- Which body worn cameras work with the AXIS W703?
The W703 is confirmed compatible with the Axis W101 and Axis W120 body worn cameras. The dock is designed around Axis’s proprietary Pogo pin pad interface and requires the Axis W800 System Controller as part of the system. It is not a universal charger and will not work with body worn cameras from other manufacturers.
- How fast does the W703 offload footage from each camera?
The W703 provides up to 100 Mbit/s of data throughput per docked camera. This dedicated per-bay bandwidth means offload speeds are not shared across the 8 bays, so a full dock of 8 cameras can transfer footage simultaneously without each camera competing for limited bandwidth.
- Does the W703 need to be connected to a network to function?
Yes. Data offload requires a network connection via the shielded RJ45 port (supporting up to 1000BASE-T). The dock integrates with the Axis W800 System Controller over the network, which manages storage and device administration. The dock supports standard enterprise protocols including HTTPS, DHCP, DNS, and NTP for straightforward integration into existing infrastructure.
- Can multiple W703 docks be used together at the same site?
Yes. The W703 is designed for scalable deployments. Additional docks can be added to the same Axis W800 System Controller as the camera fleet grows, expanding charging and offload capacity in multiples of 8. This makes it practical for organisations that are phasing in body worn cameras over time rather than deploying all at once.
- Where is the best location to install the W703 in a facility?
The W703 is best placed in an indoor locker room, charge room, or operations area where officers begin and end shifts. Its splash-proof housing handles the humidity and minor moisture exposure typical of these environments. At 128 mm wide and 800 g, it mounts cleanly to a wall using the included screws, keeping bench surfaces clear. Operating temperature is 0 °C to 40 °C, so it is not rated for outdoor or unconditioned spaces.
- Is the AXIS W703 certified for use in Australia, and what warranty applies?
Yes. The W703 carries RCM certification under AS/NZS CISPR 32 Class A, confirming compliance for the Australian market. Safety certification meets IEC/EN/UL 62368-1. The unit is backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty. It is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is supplied with a power adaptor and wall-mount screws included in the box.
