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.
• Before you start, make sure you have the:
- latest firmware available. You can download it at axis.com. To get access to firmware you need a My Axis
account.
- content destination connection file available, see Content destinations.
1. Find the system controller on your network:
1.1 Go to axis.com/support/software and download AXIS IP Utility.
1.2 Start AXIS IP Utility.
1.3 Use the serial number to locate the system controller in the list. You can find the serial number on the underside
of the system controller, or on the label on the system controller box.
1.4 In the search result list, double-click your system controller. AXIS Body Worn Manager opens in your browser.
2. Follow the wizard to set up the system:
- Select Create a new system if you are configuring a single system controller setup, or if you are configuring the
first system controller in a multi system controller setup. Select Extend an existing system if you want to add
more system controllers to your existing system. In this step you can also choose your preferred language for
the body worn system.
- Create an administrator account. Your administrator username is root.
- Install the latest firmware. You can download firmware on axis.com. We support different firmware tracks for
the body worn system. This lets you choose the firmware best suited for your system, whether you want all the
latest features from the Latest (active) firmware track, or you prioritize stability from the Long-term support
(LTS) firmware track. See System firmware on page 44 for more information.
- Name your body worn system. This makes it easier identifying it in your content destination and in different
cloud services, and when you receive email notifications about critical system events. You can change the
system name under Settings in AXIS Body Worn Manager.
- Configure network settings.
- Date and time. Setting the time correctly is critical for several reasons. See Adjust date and time on page
44 for information.
- Cloud extensions. The body worn system comes with a set of standard features out of the box. The Cloud
extensions are a set of additional cloud-based capabilities that, for example, give you improved location data
performance. You can choose to enable Cloud extensions in AXIS Body Worn Manager at any time. However
once enabled, Cloud extensions can't be turned off without resetting the system. See Cloud extensions on
page 22 for more information.
- The connection file connects the body worn system to the content destination. The content destination is where
your recordings and metadata are stored and managed. The body worn system is locked to a content destination
once connected to it. To change to another content destination, you need to reset the body worn system first.
See Content destinations on page 9 for more information.
- The Super admin passphrase provides extra security for the body worn system. System critical actions,
for example restoring the system, require verification with the Super admin passphrase. It is also required
