Install the processing server

You can deploy a fully featured Milestone AI Bridge application on any system running Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS or another Linux distro that fulfills the Ubuntu Server 22.04.1 LTS hardware requirements.

Regardless of the machine, you can use either Kubernetes or Docker Compose to install and deploy the Milestone AI Bridge application.

Kubernetes can best be used to install and deploy the Milestone AI Bridge application on one or multiple processing servers and Docker Compose can best be used to install and deploy the Milestone AI Bridge application on a stand-alone machine.

You must also install and deploy any preferred Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) applications, as it is these IVA applications that will do the data analysis and send the results back to your XProtect VMS.
