access a camera feed without explicit written permission from the owner.

| Problem | Why It Happens | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Most AXIS cameras are password-protected; Google cannot index private live views. | Use intitle:axis live view and filter by site:axis.com/demo | | "Hot" appears gray/dull | The camera is in Black Hot mode (hot = dark) or the scene has no temperature variance. | Change palette to White Hot or Rainbow. | | Lagging live view | Thermal streams use high bandwidth; "hot" detection requires processing. | Lower the frame rate to 5-10 FPS for stable viewing. | | False "hot" alerts | Sun reflections or hot exhaust pipes triggering alarms. | Set a minimum object size in the detection rule. |
