# Configure the plugin {% hint style="info" %} Nx Witness, Nx Go and Nx Meta will work in the same way for the configuration. {% endhint %} ## Configure Nx Server After successful installation of Nx Server and Nx Client, an "Integrations" tab should be visible when opening a camera's settings:

Camera Settings dialog with the Integrations tab selected, showing Nx AI Manager in the list — Camera Settings: Integrations tab

The plugin can be enabled/disabled per device on the Integrations tab:

Camera Settings Integrations tab showing the Nx AI Manager toggle in the off position — Nx AI Manager Integration tab: plugin disabled

Once the plugin is enabled and started (toggle on, then click **Apply**), the settings panel shows the active AI pipeline and model controls directly in the Integrations tab:

Camera Settings Integrations tab with plugin active, showing AI Pipeline dropdown, Device Active toggle, and Device Overview with active pipeline summary — Plugin active: AI pipeline and model settings

To change a model, use the **AI Pipelines** dropdown to select from the models available on the server. When using a custom pipeline managed via the Nx AI Cloud, a **Manage Device** button is shown instead. Clicking it opens the AI Manager device panel to manage the model pipeline.

Plugin settings showing AI Pipeline set to Custom with Manage Device and Reselect Runtime buttons, and Device Overview showing the active pipeline summary — Manage Device button: available when using a custom cloud pipeline

AI Manager device panel opened from the Manage Device button, showing the current model pipeline on device with pipeline settings — Device model pipeline management: opened via the Manage Device button

For specific settings see [the model settings](/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.2/nx-ai-manager-plugin/configure-the-plugin/model-settings.md). ## Visualizing Bounding Boxes If a model that outputs compatible bounding boxes is selected and running the Nx AI Manager, bounding boxes can be visualized by visiting the *Objects* tab on the right pane in the Nx Meta Client:

{% hint style="warning" %} **The objects tab is missing** The Objects tab might not be available, this might happen if you have freshly installed the Nx Server. To fix this you can try to **restart** the Nx Client. This should make the Objects tab appear.

{% endhint %} ## Adding Event Rules The Nx AI Manager plugin can generate several different types of events. Network Optix gives the user control over what these events should do, from sending an email to showing a notification. In this example, we will show a text overlay on the video. Rules can be added by navigating to the Camera Rules menu: On the Event Rules window, click the **Add** button to add a new rule. From here, several options are available. First, on the left side, select **Analytics Event** from the **When** context menu. This is the type of event the Nx AI Manager plugin generates. Select any, or multiple, camera(s) in the **At** context menu. Under the **Event Type** context menu, you will find a number of event types the Nx AI Manager plugin can generate, from alarms to counting objects. In this example, we will select the *Objects Counted* type. On the right side, it can be configured what should be done when one of these events is triggered. Here you could set up an email or notification trigger. In this example, we will select the Show text overlay option in the **Do** context menu **at** the source camera If set up correctly, and a model generating counts is selected and running, we should see an overlay on the camera feed showing us the object counts:

## Confirming it works Once the plugin is configured and a model pipeline is active, switch to the **Objects** tab in the right pane of the Nx Meta Client. Bounding boxes and other model output only appear when the Objects tab is the active tab.

{% hint style="info" %} If the Objects tab is not visible after enabling the plugin, restart the Nx Client; this refreshes the tab list. {% endhint %} If no detections appear after a few seconds, check the [Troubleshooting](/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.2/support-and-troubleshooting/troubleshooting.md) section. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
