Live View - Axis HOT (also known as a Hotspot frame) is a dynamic monitoring feature within AXIS Camera Station and its updated Pro version. It allows operators to designate a specific, often larger, frame in an asymmetric layout that automatically updates to show the camera feed of interest whenever an operator clicks on a different camera or map icon. Core Functionality

The Hotspot feature is designed to maximize the visibility of critical incidents without requiring the user to manually reorganize their workspace constantly.

Asymmetric Monitoring: In a multi-view layout (e.g., one large frame and four small ones), the large frame is typically set as the "Hotspot".

Automatic Loading: When an operator clicks on any other camera frame or a camera icon on a site map, that specific video feed is instantly pushed to the Hotspot frame for high-detail viewing.

Action Rule Integration: Hotspots can be used as an "action" within the software's action rules. For example, if a motion alarm is triggered, the system can automatically load that camera's feed into the designated Hotspot frame to alert the operator.

Playback Utility: This function also works during video replay, simplifying the process of following a subject across different cameras by keeping the primary view centered in the Hotspot. Operational Benefits

Efficiency: Reduces the need for repetitive "drag and drop" actions when investigating an event. Live View - Axis HOT

Situational Awareness: Allows for general site overview in smaller frames while providing a detailed, high-resolution view of specific areas in the Hotspot.

Map Integration: Enhances interactive site maps by allowing users to click a camera location and immediately see its live feed in the main viewing area. Related Live Monitoring Tools

Axis offers several other "Live" features that complement the Hotspot functionality:

AXIS Live Privacy Shield: Masks people and moving objects in real-time to maintain privacy while still allowing for the monitoring of general activities.

Live Audio: Operators can listen to live scenes via camera microphones or use "Push-to-talk" to communicate through networked speakers directly from the live view interface.

Instant Playback: Allows an operator to jump back a few seconds in a live feed to immediately investigate an incident they just witnessed without leaving the live view screen.

To increase response speed, AXIS Camera Station includes programmable "hot" tools for power users:

Programmable Hotkeys:Advanced operators can configure keyboard shortcuts to trigger specific functions instantly, such as switching to a critical view, taking a snapshot, or muting all other audio sources to focus on one stream.

Hotspots:A hotspot is a designated larger pane within a multi-camera layout. When an operator clicks on a small camera icon on a map or a thumbnail in a sidebar, that video feed immediately populates the hotspot for closer inspection while maintaining the overall context of the site. Keyboard & Mouse Navigation:

F11: Toggle full-screen mode for the selected camera or view.

CTRL + (+/-): Quickly zoom in or out of the digital or mechanical PTZ feed. ESC: Exit full-screen mode instantly. Specialized Live View Systems

Axis has expanded its Live View technology into specialized domains to meet modern security needs:

AXIS Body Worn Live: Designed for law enforcement and private security, this allows wearers to initiate a live stream with a double-press of the function button, notifying operators who can then track the wearer's location via an integrated map.

Mobile and Web Clients: For remote "hot" monitoring, the Axis Mobile Viewing App and Web Client provide secure, low-latency access to live feeds from smartphones or tablets, ensuring situational awareness even when away from the main workstation. Expand map AXIS Camera Station 5 - User manual

In AXIS Camera Station, a Hotspot is a specific frame in your Live View layout that automatically displays video from any other frame or map you click on. This is particularly useful for "asymmetric" layouts where you have one large main viewing area and several smaller peripheral camera feeds. Key Uses for Hotspots in Live View

Dynamic Monitoring: When you click a small camera feed, its live video immediately scales up and fills the designated Hotspot frame for closer inspection.

Alarm Integration: You can set a Hotspot as an action in your Action Rules. When an alarm is triggered, the system can automatically push that camera's feed or an alarm image to the Hotspot frame.

Simplified Replay: Hotspots also function during video playback, making it easier to select and focus on specific cameras while reviewing footage. Setting Up Live View Hotspots Open the Client: Launch the AXIS Camera Station Pro client.

Access Layout Settings: Navigate to Configuration and open a Live View tab. Please check the dashboard immediately to confirm system

Define the Hotspot: In your split-view layout, right-click the frame you want to act as the primary display (usually the largest one) and select it as the Hotspot.

Save the View: Use the Add/Edit View icons in the "Camera and Views" pane to save your custom Hotspot configuration. Quick Operator Tips

Instant Playback: While in Live View, you can jump back a few seconds to investigate something you just saw without leaving the live stream.

Snapshots: You can quickly save still images from any camera or map in the Live View by clicking the snapshot icon.

Context Menus: Right-clicking on a camera in the "Camera and Views" pane allows you to select specific Stream Profiles (e.g., High Resolution for the Hotspot vs. Low Bandwidth for secondary frames). AXIS Camera Station Pro - Feature guide

Title: 🔴 Live View Active: Why Axis is Running Hot

Body: Hey everyone,

Just a quick heads-up that the Live View is currently active. We’ve noticed the Axis feed is reading particularly "HOT" this afternoon—literally. We are seeing some significant thermal activity (or high traffic) on the sensors.

If you are monitoring the feed, keep an eye on the temperature gauges in the top right corner. We are currently averaging higher than usual readings.

Drop a comment below if you spot anything unusual on the thermal overlay. Happy watching!
