Add your AI

Start with local AI

On a desktop Station, start with LiquidAI d1. It analyses frames on your computer without an API key.

Allow local AI on the Station computer. After pairing, Station installs and tests d1. You can add a camera while it downloads. Monitoring starts once the model is ready and the camera is enabled.

When to use cloud AI

Choose TypeSafe AI or OpenAI for a phone Station, or if you prefer cloud analysis on a desktop. Each camera inherits its Station’s choice unless you change it in the camera settings.

With cloud analysis, Station sends frames directly to your provider, which bills your API account separately.

Camera Chat uses an OpenAI key, independently of the provider selected for detection.

Connect a cloud provider

1. Create an API key in your TypeSafe AI or OpenAI account and make sure billing is set up. Your organization can provide a key for business use.
2. Open Settings → Stations, choose Add API key and select the key’s provider.
3. Give it a recognizable name, paste the key and choose Save key.
4. Open the Station’s processing settings, select the saved key and save.

One key, several Stations

You can assign the same saved key to several Stations. Keys are encrypted and not shown again after saving. Replacing a saved key updates the Stations assigned to it.

If your provider cannot process requests, check that the key is valid and that the account has available credit and usage capacity. Never put your key into an Event description or share it in a screenshot.
