Install Nvidia drivers for hardware acceleration

If you deploy or upgrade to a GPU-enabled EC2 instance, install the compatible Nvidia Tesla T4 driver to take advantage of hardware acceleration in your deployment.

To get the latest Nvidia Tesla T4 driver, see Installing NVIDIA drivers on Windows instances. Make sure to regularly check for driver updates on the Nvidia driver download page to get the latest stability and performance enhancements for your GPU-enabled EC2 instance.

Hardware acceleration provides increased performance for video motion detection on your recording server. To enable hardware acceleration in XProtect Smart Client, see Enabling hardware acceleration.

Hardware-accelerated video motion detection is available only for XProtect Expert and XProtect Corporate. For more information about the different XProtect VMS versions, see the Milestone product index page.
