Edge Device Setup Guide v5/v6

Chooch Inference Engine Setup Guide

Within the dashboard, this guide will walk you through the steps to set up an edge device running Chooch AI models for NVDIA GPU’s and Intel Processors. The guide will explain how to use the Chooch AI Vision Studio to create a device, then add camera streams and add AI models to the device. Finally, you will run a script that installs the AI models on the hardware and access the Chooch Inference Engine to see the AI in action.

Please note you will need a free account on the Chooch AI Vision Studio. If you don’t yet have one, please sign up here. For the moment, you will also need an Enterprise account. Please request one here.
