Live View Axis New Access
Why is this considered "new" and not just a patch? Axis introduced the ARTPEC-8 chipset in its latest cameras. This system-on-chip includes dedicated hardware for dewarping and e-WARP.
When you view a 360-degree panoramic camera (like the AXIS Q3819-PVE) in the new Live View, the camera does not send the donut-shaped fisheye image. Instead, it processes the dewarping on the edge and sends a rectilinear panoramic view directly to your browser. This reduces the load on your PC by nearly 80%. live view axis new
Furthermore, the new Live View API (VAPIX®) allows third-party VMS (Video Management Software) to request "just the changed pixels." This is similar to how screen sharing works in Zoom, sending only motion vectors across the wire. If a scene is static, the bandwidth drops to near zero until motion occurs.

Axis has announced that by Q4 2025, all new devices will ship with "Always-On Live View" —a feature where the camera maintains a low-power, low-resolution MJPEG stream even when the main recorder is offline. Furthermore, AI-based "Object Highlighting" is coming to the Live View. When an analytic detects a person or vehicle, the new interface will draw a glowing bounding box in the live stream, not just in the recorded clip. When you view a 360-degree panoramic camera (like
For the industry to adopt this "New Axis" paradigm, metadata standards must evolve. Current standards (like EXIF) store static orientation. A "Live View Axis" standard would require:
Store managers can open the Live View on an iPad. The "new" dynamic scaling allows them to zoom in on a checkout counter at 4K to read a receipt, then pan to the door at 720p—all without restarting the video feed.
