Axis W120 Body Worn Camera

Axis Communications AXIS W120 Body Worn Camera Overview

The AXIS W120 is a fully connected wearable camera designed for law enforcement, security operations, and field personnel requiring real-time video and audio capture with continuous location tracking. This 1080p body-worn system integrates cellular (LTE CAT4), Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity to enable live streaming via AXIS Body Worn Live, while the built-in GNSS receiver (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) continuously logs wearer location. With up to 12.5 hours of battery operation at 1080p and USB-C fast charging, the W120 delivers mission-critical situational awareness and forensic-grade video documentation in a rugged, easy-to-deploy package.

Axis Communications AXIS W120 Key Features

• Integrated Cellular Connectivity — Built-in LTE modem (CAT4) with support for US bands (B2, B4, B5, B12, B13, B14, B25, B26, B66, B71) and EU bands (B1, B3, B7, B8, B20, B28) enables direct video and audio streaming without external gateway infrastructure.
• Multi-Mode Wireless — IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi 5 at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, plus Bluetooth 5.1 Low Energy and Classic support provide flexible connectivity options for indoor operations, docking stations, and accessory integration.
• 1080p Video with Electronic Image Stabilization — Captures forensically sharp 2 MP video with electronic image stabilization to ensure clear, usable footage even during dynamic movement or pursuit scenarios.
• Live Status Display — 0.96-inch color IPS LCD screen (160×80 pixels) provides the wearer with real-time battery status, connectivity indicators, recording state, GPS lock, and system alerts without requiring external devices.
• Extended Battery Life and Fast Charging — 3600 mAh Li-ion battery delivers up to 12.5 hours of operating time at 1080p (up to 15 hours at 720p), with up to 29 hours in standby mode. Supports charging via any USB Type-C charger in as little as 4 hours (15–30°C ambient).
• Continuous GNSS Location Tracking — Multi-constellation positioning (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) with track, start, and end location logging integrated into the recorded video stream for accountability, evidence chain integrity, and operational intelligence.
• Automatic Activation on Unholstering — Recording can be configured to start automatically when the camera is drawn from its holster, eliminating user error and ensuring critical moments are captured from the first second of engagement.
• Professional Audio with Noise Suppression — Built-in microphone with configurable audio pre-buffer (0, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 seconds) and post-buffer (0, 10, 30, 60 seconds) ensures critical audio is preserved while noise suppression maintains forensic clarity in high-noise environments.
• Rugged IP67 Design with Drop Resistance — Plastic casing rated IP67 (fully dust-proof, submersible to 1 m for 30 minutes) and drop-tested to 2 m ensures durability in wet, dusty, and high-impact operational environments.
• Secure Encryption and Cybersecurity — AES-256 encryption standard protects recorded and streamed video. Supports TLSv1.2/v1.3, WPA/WPA2-PSK, 802.1AR, and HTTPS/HSTS for secure transmission and network integration.
• 64 GB On-Board Storage — Non-volatile memory stores up to 30 hours of recorded video, with configurable pre/post-buffer capture to preserve evidence around critical events.
• KlickFast Mounting System — Proprietary quick-release mounting system enables rapid attachment to chest harnesses, vests, and accessories, allowing field personnel to deploy or change units in seconds without tools.

Axis Communications AXIS W120 Wireless, Positioning, and Sensor Capabilities

The W120 integrates a 3-axis gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass to enable motion detection and orientation logging. Wireless interfaces include IEEE 802.1AR, TLSv1.2/v1.3, HTTPS/HSTS for network security, and support for vendor-specific USB classes for accessory connectivity. The multi-constellation GNSS receiver continuously tracks position throughout the shift, with location data embedded in the video stream for forensic reference and accountability. Operating temperature range of –20°C to 50°C (–4°F to 122°F), with intermittent maximum of 55°C (131°F), and humidity tolerance of 10–100% RH (condensing) during operation ensures reliable performance across domestic and international deployment environments.

Axis Communications AXIS W120 Integration and Deployment

The AXIS W120 connects directly to AXIS Body Worn Live management platform via LTE, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth, eliminating the need for intermediate server infrastructure in remote locations. Nano-SIM (4FF) slot supports carrier-provisioned LTE service for continuous cellular operation. Compatible with Axis docking stations (AXIS W700 1-bay and AXIS W701 8-bay) for efficient fleet charging, firmware updates, and video offload. Supports standard video and audio pre/post-buffer configurations for event-triggered capture. The built-in AES-256 encryption, secure boot, and TLS encryption protect sensitive video content during transmission and storage, meeting law enforcement chain-of-custody and data protection requirements.
