AXIS W800 System Controller with Fast Offloading & Scalable Body Worn Management

Product SKU: W800

Product Overview

Organisations running Axis body worn camera programs often hit a scaling problem: adding docking stations means duplicating controller hardware at every point. The AXIS W800 System Controller solves this by acting as a standalone integration and management device that sits separately from the docking stations themselves. One controller supports up to 5 compatible docking stations and up to 40 body worn cameras, with fast video offloading at 100 Mbit per camera to keep devices ready for the next shift quickly. It provides a single management interface for the entire body worn solution, and multiple AXIS W800 units can be linked for larger deployments. Compatible with AXIS W700 Mk II and AXIS W701 Mk II docking stations, and with current AXIS W102, W110 and W120 body worn cameras, it suits security teams, healthcare, transport operators, retail loss prevention and public safety organisations building scalable body worn programs.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Shift-Based Security Teams: The 100 Mbit per camera offload speed helps cameras complete end-of-shift evidence transfer quickly, keeping devices available for the next team without long waits at the dock.
• Growing Body Worn Deployments: Organisations starting with a small camera fleet can expand by adding docking stations and cameras up to the controller’s limits, then link additional controllers as the program scales further.
• Multi-Station Docking Layouts: Support for up to 5 docking stations allows separate docking areas for different teams, floors or locations, all feeding back through the one AXIS W800 controller.
• Structured IT and Security Installations: With support for the AXIS TW8100 Rack Mount accessory, the controller suits structured equipment rooms, IT cabinets and security operations centres where neat rack installation is required.

Why Choose the AXIS W800 System Controller

The AXIS W800 System Controller addresses a real cost problem in body worn deployments: when the controller is embedded in every docking station, adding capacity means buying controller hardware repeatedly. The AXIS W800 separates the controller from the docks entirely, so organisations only need one unit to manage up to 5 docking stations and 40 cameras. Combined with 100 Mbit per camera offloading and support for linking multiple controllers for larger fleets, it provides a practical foundation that grows without unnecessary hardware duplication. Compatibility with both current AXIS W102, W110 and W120 cameras and the discontinued W100 and W101 models adds further value for teams transitioning older hardware. The included AXIS TU6011 Mains Cable and support for rack mounting with the AXIS TW8100 accessory also support clean, structured installations. The AXIS W800 System Controller is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the broader Axis body worn camera range, with a 5-year warranty included.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: You are deploying compatible AXIS W102, W110 or W120 body worn cameras and need a standalone controller that supports up to 5 docking stations and 40 cameras, with fast 100 Mbit offloading and the ability to link additional controllers as the system scales.
• Choose a different model if: Your body worn deployment requires a controller embedded directly within each individual docking station rather than a separate standalone unit, or if you need a system that supports a camera count or docking station count beyond the AXIS W800’s confirmed limits from a single controller without linking multiple units.

FAQs

1. What does the AXIS W800 System Controller actually do in a body worn system?
   The AXIS W800 acts as the central management and integration point for an Axis body worn camera deployment. It coordinates camera assignment, manages connected docking stations, and controls the video offloading workflow. Because it sits separately from the docking stations, the controller handles system-level functions without being tied to any one dock location.
2. How many docking stations and cameras can one AXIS W800 manage?
   One AXIS W800 supports up to 5 compatible docking stations and up to 40 body worn cameras. This covers a wide range of deployment sizes, from small single-team setups using 1-bay docking stations through to larger multi-shift operations using 8-bay docks.
3. Why is the 100 Mbit per camera offload speed important for shift-based operations?
   Faster offloading means cameras spend less time docked and more time available for active use. In shift-rotation environments where cameras need to be reassigned quickly, the 100 Mbit per camera transfer rate supported by the AXIS W800 helps reduce the gap between one shift ending and the next beginning.
4. Can multiple AXIS W800 units be used together for a larger deployment?
   Yes. Multiple AXIS W800 System Controllers can be linked so that larger body worn fleets remain manageable through a single interface. This allows organisations to expand beyond one controller’s 40-camera and 5-docking-station limits without replacing the original hardware.
5. Which docking stations work with the AXIS W800?
   The AXIS W800 is compatible with the AXIS W700 Mk II Docking Station 1-bay and the AXIS W701 Mk II Docking Station 8-bay. It also supports the earlier AXIS W700 and AXIS W701 docking stations, which is useful for organisations with existing Axis body worn infrastructure they are extending rather than replacing. Security Wholesalers can assist with confirming docking station options for specific deployment configurations.
6. Does the AXIS W800 include rack mounting hardware?
   The AXIS W800 does not include rack mounting hardware as standard. The AXIS TW8100 Rack Mount is the recommended accessory for installations in server racks, IT cabinets or structured equipment rooms. If rack installation is planned, this accessory should be included in the procurement order.
7. What body worn cameras are compatible with the AXIS W800?
   Current compatible cameras include the AXIS W102, AXIS W110 and AXIS W120 body worn cameras. The AXIS W800 also supports the discontinued AXIS W100 and AXIS W101 models, giving organisations with older Axis camera hardware a path to more structured system management without a full fleet replacement.
