Axis body worn solution
Configure your system
when reestablishing the connection between the body worn system and cameras that are in safe mode. The
passphrase can't be changed.
- The System restore key is an important security feature. The body worn system requires a System restore key
for certain operations. These operations include for instance, reestablishing the connection between the body
worn system and the existing cameras, after replacing a system controller that has failed. Download the System
restore key to your computer and store it in a secure location.
- Select the power line frequency that is used in your region. With the right frequency, there is less image flicker.
The American regions usually use 60 Hz. The rest of the world mostly uses 50 Hz. If you're not sure of your
region's power line frequency, check with the local authorities.
- You can assign cameras to users in two ways. With Fixed camera assignment every user is manually assigned to
a specific camera. With Self-assign the camera user taps a self-assign tag on an RFID reader, connected to the
system, to pick up any available camera. It is not possible to switch between Fixed and Self-assign without
resetting the system. With Self-assign you can assign users to cameras locally or globally in the system. This
option is available under Settings once you've completed this setup. See Assign a user to a camera on page
16 for more information.

Secure passwords

Important
Axis devices send the initially set password in clear text over the network. To protect your device after the first login, set
up a secure and encrypted HTTPS connection and then change the password.
The device password is the primary protection for your data and services. Axis devices do not impose a password policy as they
may be used in various types of installations.
To protect your data we strongly recommend that you:
• Use a password with at least 8 characters, preferably created by a password generator.
• Don't expose the password.
• Change the password at a recurring interval, at least once a year.

Content destinations

The content destination stores and manages your recordings and metadata. A content destination is for example an EMS (evidence
management system), a VMS (video management system), or a media server. The Axis body worn solution supports a number of
different content destinations.
All content destinations require a connection file to integrate with the Axis body worn system. The connection file is generated in
your content destination. For information about how to generate the connection file, check the user help in your content destination.
The connection with the content destination also requires that the network communication is working properly. This can include
proxy, firewall, and anti-virus configuration.
