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

-
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
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 8
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 when
unlocking a camera that for security reasons is locked and can't be used in the system. The passphrase can’t
be changed.
