Axon Announces Body 5 and Body 5 Pro Cameras with More On-Device AI Capacity

Axon announced Body 5 and Body 5 Pro on Oct. 24. The company says the new computing architecture offers 25 times the AI processing power of its earlier-generation body cameras, alongside video, connectivity, audio and battery upgrades. Availability and field performance are not established by the announcement.

GLOBAL IMAGING BRIEF

Why it matters

Analysis: More on-device processing could support camera-side assistance and reduce reliance on a remote system for some tasks. Agencies should independently test accuracy, privacy controls, battery endurance and integration before deployment; the 25x figure is Axon's own comparison, not an independent benchmark.
