According to the company, the product is developed taking into account the specifics of the work of law enforcement officers and guards, who often have to walk and run when performing work duties. Therefore, the camera provides a clear image when operating conditions change, captures video with a resolution of up to 1080p at 30 frames per second and has functions such as wide dynamic range (WDR). Therefore, the image remains visible and has good quality, even if the employee falls into more difficult lighting conditions.

The footage taken with the help of a wearable camera can be presented in court as evidence. Two microphones are used to record sound, which allows you to optimize the quality of speech recording and reduce noise. So that employees do not have to be distracted by recharging the device, the camera's operating time is brought to 12 hours in Full HD mode, and with certain parameters, the camera can shoot for 17 hours. The camera has 64 GB of built-in memory, and Zipstream video compression technology is used to save disk space and network bandwidth.

Like other open standard Axis solutions, wearable cameras can be used with existing software to optimize costs. In addition, cameras can also be integrated into existing cloud-based video surveillance (VMS) and evidence management (EMS) systems.

In addition, the AXIS W100 can be supplied as part of a comprehensive solution with the AXIS Camera Station video surveillance application. The system consists of three main components: the camera itself, the dock and the system controller. The dock can be placed indoors, and the system controller will send the footage to a user-selected location for further analysis and storage. Cameras record video in built-in memory, and when they are installed in a dock, the system controller transfers data, the internal memory of the cameras is cleared, and they can be used again.

In addition to the technical features of shooting, the camera features a smart recording protection system. All data is encrypted using AES256 and TLS technologies both during storage and during transmission. With additional solutions, you can provide end-to-end encryption of video data. And in a special mobile application, you can view the footage, which is then marked with a watermark containing the ID of the camera and the user. In addition, the process of transferring video material from the camera to the server is completely automated, which eliminates any human interference and, as a result, the ability to remove fragments of video recording.
