coral-rtsp-detector
Coral Edge TPU RTSP detector (Coral Dev Board/USB)
arm64amd64
CoralEdgeTPURTSPTFLite
Overview
Primary hardware
Coral Dev Board / USB Accelerator (arm64/amd64 host)
What it does
Runs TFLite Edge TPU detection and serves annotated RTSP stream.
Why it saves time
Bypasses libedgetpu/tflite install pains; ready RTSP overlay and health endpoints.
Get access
Use StreamDeploy to manage OTA updates, versioned configs, and rollbacks across fleets.
