We want to connect multiple camera to detect object and track it. Each camera at different location. We could do that with Yolo. In Axelera, we can do it with 1 camera. When 2nd camera is started, error is thrown. Please advice

Hi ​@HOW TO CONNECT MULTIPLE CAMERA! Good username - it’s a tech support request all in itself 😆

So, multi-camera detection and tracking is supported in the Voyager SDK. The key is, don't start a second pipeline per camera. Instead, pass multiple sources into one pipeline. A second pipeline will try to claim the Metis device already in use, which could well be why you see an error.

If that doesn't sort it, can you share the exact error message, how you launch each camera, your camera types (USB/RTSP/MIPI), OS, host system, SDK version etc.
