Is it possible to create a time enabled hot spot map?

Question

I'm trying to put together a web app for a presentation using roughly 40,000 points that I've geocoded over a time period of about 2 years.  I've aggregated the points by month and added a date field to each months feature.  Using spatial statistics, I've been able to create a point density map showing 'hot spots' by month.  Each raster was then placed in a raster mosaic in which I could enable time to.  I can go though month by month, showing how the incidents differ.

Unfortunately, we don't have the image service extension for ArcGIS server, so I am unable to create an image service for the mosaic.

I've tried now using hot spot analysis.  I've created a hot spot map for each month.

Is there a way to combine this data and time enable it while keeping the confidence level set for each month?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Dan.  I looked at the links you provided and I'm not sure creating a space time cube or doing an emerging hot spot analysis is what I want to do for this information.  I simply want to view the data by month to see the where incidents are prevalent and then publish it in a web app.

Here are example of the work.

In the raster below, I can click through the months to see where incidents are occurring geographically.

In the hot spot map below, I can see where there's high confidence of incidents, but I don't believe I can display all the individual hot spot maps like the raster above to show the pattern over time.

My guess is that I'm at a licensing limitation, being that I cannot publish the raster as an image service.

The requirements for time-enabled data are listed here http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/map/time/enabling-time-on-your-data.htm

but is sounds like you want to animate in a slightly different way,

There are some suggestions here http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/map/time/what-is-temporal-data.htm

And I suppose you don't want to go the route of space-time cube http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/space-time-pattern-mining-toolbox/create-space-time-cube.htm

or the emerging hotspot analysis

http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/space-time-pattern-mining-toolbox/emerginghotspots.htm

or is it you just need an animation script to automate the changing the visibility of layers in a dataframe/map
