View areas enable multiview streaming by allowing users to stream different parts of the camera's field of view simultaneously. This includes the ability to stream both optically zoomed-in views and the full, normal views at the same time. This feature enhances monitoring flexibility and situational awareness by providing multiple perspectives from a single camera feed. Axis documentation on multiview streaming explains how view areas can be configured to deliver both zoomed and wide-angle views concurrently, facilitating comprehensive surveillance.
