# 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Before you begin:** make sure you have the [Nx AI Manager plugin installed](/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.2/nx-ai-manager-plugin/install-network-optix.md) on your server and at least one camera device connected.
{% endhint %}

***

## Step 1: Log into the Nx AI Cloud

Open the Nx AI Cloud admin interface in your browser. Log in with your Nx account credentials.

## Step 2: View your connected sites

After logging in, the **Sites** page lists all sites registered to your account, with their online/offline status.

     and a Show Offline toggle"><figcaption><p>Sites listing: all shown sites are online and ready to manage.</p></figcaption></figure>

Click an online site (green indicator) to open it.

[Deployment and device management](/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.2/nx-ai-cloud-ui/deployment-and-device-management.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

***

## Step 3: Find your device

Inside a site, the **Devices** tab lists all cameras and devices. Each device shows its currently assigned model pipeline.

     Clone This Pipeline buttons"><figcaption><p>Site devices: each device shows its current pipeline. Click Pipelines to open the device detail page.</p></figcaption></figure>

Click a device to open its detail page.

***

## Step 4: Assign a model pipeline to your device

On the device detail page, click **Pipelines** to manage the model pipelines running on that device. Use **Add a new pipeline** to assign a model, or the replace button to swap the existing one.

     Remove, and Add Chained Model buttons, plus sensitivity and postprocessor controls"><figcaption><p>Device pipeline: use Add A New Pipeline or Switch to assign or replace a model.</p></figcaption></figure>

The model is downloaded to the device automatically after assignment.

***

## Step 5: Browse available models

From the sidebar, the **Models** page shows all AI models available to your account: pre-built models from the catalogue and any custom models you have uploaded.

[Use your model](/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.2/nx-ai-cloud-ui/use-your-model.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

***

## Step 6: Verify deployment

After assigning, the device detail page confirms the deployment status. The device should begin running inference within a few seconds.

{% hint style="success" %}
If bounding boxes or analytics are not appearing in the Nx Meta client, check the [Troubleshooting](/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.2/support-and-troubleshooting/troubleshooting.md) section.
{% endhint %}

## What's next?

* [Upload your own model](/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.2/nx-ai-cloud-ui/upload-your-model.md): convert and upload a custom ONNX or TFLite model
* [Deploy to multiple devices](/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.2/nx-ai-cloud-ui/deployment-and-device-management.md): clone a pipeline to all devices in a site
* [Configure the plugin](/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.2/nx-ai-manager-plugin/configure-the-plugin.md): set input masks, ROI, and model settings in the desktop client
