Live View - Axis Hot Jun 2026

: A specific frame in a split-view layout is designated as the "Hotspot." Clicking on any other small camera frame or map automatically loads that specific view into the larger Hotspot frame.

While Axis does not have a specific product named "HOT," within the community and technical documentation, "HOT" refers to High Output Technology or High-performance Optimized Throughput . It signifies the maximum frame rate, lowest latency, and highest quality stream possible across a network constraint.

The "HOT" element shines at distance. For example, the Thermal Camera can detect a human at over 2,000 meters. Unlike optical cameras that see a tiny pixel at that range, the thermal sensor maintains contrast. When coupled with a high-zoom optical lens (e.g., 30x or 60x zoom), operators can toggle between the wide thermal view for detection and the optical view for identification. Live View - Axis HOT

Because thermal cameras do not capture identifiable facial features or license plates, they can be deployed in public spaces, healthcare facilities, and residential areas where traditional video surveillance might raise privacy concerns. Regulations such as GDPR are easier to satisfy when no personal identifying information is recorded.

This feature preserves because the overlays originate directly from the camera, not added later in post‑processing. It also reduces storage requirements, as you no longer need duplicate recordings. Privacy masks remain permanently applied to both layers, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. For developers, togglable overlays can be activated via the VAPIX API by setting videocodec=av1&videolayers=1 . The "HOT" element shines at distance
