Live View - Axis Hot High Quality Today

To protect privacy in sensitive areas (e.g., covering a neighbor’s window), you can draw privacy masks that appear on all live streams, snapshots, and recordings. Masks are persistent across all viewing modes.

It is expensive. However, modern networks (Wi-Fi 6, 10GbE backbones) handle this easily. The operational value often outweighs the cost. If you are using video for forensic evidence only, do not use HOT. If you are using video for active response , HOT is the only way.

| Industry | Live View + Axis HOT Use Case | |:---|:---| | | Monitor transformers, switchgear, and transmission lines for hotspots 24/7.
