What's new in the latest release? Although there aren’t any new and cool features in the latest version of the Axis body worn system firmware, all our efforts made the system more robust, faster, and more secure. We hope you’ll enjoy our most stable release so far!
The recommended workflow to install and configure your system is: 1. Install your system on page 6 2. Open AXIS Body Worn Manager and configure system settings. See Access AXIS Body Worn Manager for the first time on page 7 3.
3. Optionally, connect the RFID reader to the system controller USB connector. 4. Connect a computer to the same network as the system controller. 5. Power on the devices. 6. Dock the cameras. 7. Continue to Access AXIS Body Worn Manager for the first time on page 7...
Access AXIS Body Worn Manager for the first time Note • Use AXIS IP Utility version 4.14 or later. AXIS IP Utility helps you find Axis devices on your network. The device is identified by its name, IP address, and serial number.
Go to the AXIS Camera Station Integrator Guide for help on how to integrate an Axis body worn system with AXIS Camera Station. Connect to AXIS Case Insight Go to the AXIS Case Insight System Integrator Guide for help on how to integrate an Axis body worn system with AXIS Case Insight. Note Connecting to AXIS Case Insight requires firmware 10.2.0.3 or later.
Associate recordings with a user in AXIS Case Insight A recording transferred to AXIS Case Insight is now associated with a user. The AXIS Case Insight user corresponds to the person wearing the camera. This makes it easier to search for and collect recordings made by a specific person, for example when creating a case.
Axis body worn solution Configure your system You can manually backup the system at any time instead of waiting for the scheduled backup. This ensures that all your data and settings can be saved on demand. To manually start the backup, go to Settings > System backup and click Backup now.

• Start and end – Record the geographical position of the camera when and where a recording starts and ends. • Track (AXIS W101 only) – Continuously record the geographical position of the camera throughout the whole recording. Track mode is available only if supported by the content destination.
• This option is presented only if you’re using AXIS Case Insight. • When you enter a user’s email address as username, a corresponding guest user is created in AXIS Case Insight. This guest user has no access to any recorded evidence in the system. Access rights for the user are managed in AXIS Case Insight.
Axis body worn solution Configure your system 4. Click Add user. Import users The body worn system allows you to import your body worn user data from a CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited) file. This is the most efficient way to add new users, as well as update usernames and camera profiles for existing body worn users with a user ID.

Axis body worn solution Configure your system 3. In the Assigned user list, select a user. Self-assign camera assignment The camera user taps a self-assign tag on an RFID reader connected to the system. The system then assigns the user to an available camera.
Configure your system 4. Disconnect the RFID reader from the system controller. 5. Connect the same RFID reader to the computer that you use for accessing AXIS Body Worn Manager. Note Setup via any remote desktop solution is not supported. The RFID reader must be connected directly to the computer that you use for accessing AXIS Body Worn Manager.
Signed video Signed video adds a cryptographic checksum into each video frame which is then signed by the Axis device ID. This allows video to be traced back to the camera it originated from, so it’s possible to verify that the recording hasn’t been tampered with after it left the camera, without proving the chain of custody of the video file.
