Legacy Cloud Live Analytics Notice
After careful consideration and in response to evolving technology, we are phasing out Cloud Live Analytics in favor of Object Detection Analytics as of the end of January 2024. This transition is a part of our commitment to delivering the latest and most advanced features to our valued customers.
The current Cloud Live Analytics utilizes a legacy object detection model (yolov3) and requires an extra live video stream to be running. In contrast, Object Detection operates on an updated model (yolov7) and does not necessitate an additional live stream. The model inference is performed on recorded video instead of live video.
