a camera.
Check that your system has available GPU memory to add an input source. You can check the
remaining GPU memory on the Models page. You can add a maximum of 10 input
sources for each GPU in the system.
About this task
An inspection must have an input source so that it can receive and process data as part of
an inspection. The following input source types are supported:
