Edge Algorithm

To use an edge algorithm, you must deploy the algorithm on your edge device. The algorithm analysis tasks will be executed in this device, which eliminates the need to upload video stream data to Huawei Cloud.

Cloud Algorithm

To use a cloud algorithm, video stream data must be uploaded to and analyzed on Huawei Cloud.
