AXIS Body Worn Live | Axis Communications

AXIS Body Worn Live streams live video from Axis body worn cameras securely in real time.

Peace of mind because you’re covered

With the AXIS Body Worn Live add-on service to body worn cameras, camera wearers need never feel alone. When an incident occurs and a wearer starts recording, they can immediately activate a live video and audio stream from their camera to the operator. The operator is notified in their management system to follow along in real time. They can make informed decisions about things like when to send in backup – and GPS location coordinates indicate where they should send it.

What you see, operators see

From the moment a wearer activates AXIS Body Worn Live, everything their camera picks up will make it back to operators. They can start monitoring the scene – and supporting the wearer – right away. All cameras connect either via a pre-configured Wi-Fi® at the push of a button or via an inbuilt mobile modem if you are using the AXIS W120 Body Worn Camera.

AXIS Body Worn Live is available as a straightforward annual subscription, ensuring cost transparency and predictability.

Full focus on what matters

In Axis-hosted Body Worn Live, as soon as an operator tunes in, they can inform the wearer that they’re watching. The wearer knows someone has their back, so they are free to fully concentrate on the incident.

Even if the transmission drops out, buffering means your data is preserved, for example if the wearer suddenly finds themselves in a Wi-Fi® dead zone or in an area with poor mobile coverage. Operators can still see and hear everything and can access Axis-hosted data for a full 24 hours*. All cameras connect via pre-configured Wi-Fi® at the push of a button or via an inbuilt mobile modem if you are using the AXIS W120 Body Worn Camera.

Flexibility under your own roof

When you host yourself, you can streamline incident management with the ability to view, record, store, replay, and export footage from both body worn and fixed cameras within one interface. Because video and audio footage never leave your local system, you can easily comply with relevant requirements for handling video evidence.
