Cloud Quick Start

This guide walks you through the end-to-end workflow: from logging into the Nx AI Cloud admin interface to having an AI model running on your edge device. Each step links to the relevant detailed documentation.

Before you begin: make sure you have the Nx AI Manager plugin installed on your server and at least one camera device connected.
