: The exact phrase "live view" is the default title for the web interface of many Axis camera models.

Axis cameras are professional-grade devices designed for integration. To function, they need to serve a video stream to a recording server or a security guard’s monitor. To make setup easy, Axis devices ship with a built-in web server. Out of the box, they are open. The expectation is that the installer will configure the device, set a root password, and close the port to the outside world.

Under GDPR and similar laws, a company that exposes live video of employees or customers can face fines up to €20 million or 4% of global turnover. In the US, class-action lawsuits over privacy violations are increasingly common.
