Axon Body 3 Dock General Instructions
Introduction
The Axon Body 3 Dock provides a network connection
for Axon Body 3 cameras to Axon Evidence.com or
Axon Commander, so the cameras can upload evidence
and download camera updates. While information is
securely transferred to your organization’s account,
the dock also recharges the camera’s battery.
The Axon Body 3 Dock only functions as an Ethernet
adapter, an unmanaged network switch, and charger.
This allows any Axon Body 3 camera to be docked in any
Axon Body 3 Dock, and still connect to the registered
agency’s Axon Evidence.com or Axon Commander
account to upload video.
There are two types of Axon Body 3 Docks, a 1-Bay and
an 8-Bay version.

The network requirements for Axon Body 3 cameras
are provided below:
Note: If you are moving from previous generation
Axon body-worn cameras to Axon Body 3 cameras,
you may be required to make changes to your network
infrastructure. If your agency has concerns or questions
about any of the network considerations, please
contact your Axon representative in advance of your
deployment so that they can address these issues as
early as possible.
For more information, see the Axon Body 3 Dock
Installation Manual.
• Each Axon Body 3 camera requires its own IP address
when docked. The Axon Body 3 Dock itself has no
IP address, but each bay has its own Media Access
Control (MAC) address. The list of MAC address for
each bay is shown on the end of each dock.
• Static IP addresses are not supported. Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) should be used to
provision the IP address and network settings. Each
Axon Body 3 Dock bay functions as an Ethernet card,
with its own MAC address.
• Upload bandwidth restrictions cannot be set for an
Axon Body 3 Dock.
• Axon Body 3 cameras require direct access to Axon
Evidence or Axon Commander through an Axon Body
3 Dock and do not support using a proxy server.
