Never expose your IP cameras directly to the public internet.
An axis is a reference: a line of meaning in space, time, or data. In 3D graphics it's the XYZ scaffold; in analytics it's the x-axis of time and the y-axis of value; in human contexts it's an axis of intent or bias. An axis organizes — it orients observers, defines rotations, and lets us compare different frames. Yet axes can be wrong: misaligned sensors mean the same movement looks different; swapped axes flip behavior; an implicit choice of axis can hide alternatives.
