Build from Source

Live Video Search depends on VSS Search and Smart NVR images. Follow the official build guides below and then use REGISTRY_URL/TAG to reference your built images.

The VSS dependency build must include multimodal-dataprep, multimodal-embedding-serving, and both backend flavors of Vector Retriever (vector-retriever-vdms and vector-retriever-milvus). Live Video Search always runs one Vector Retriever image; VECTORDB_BACKEND selects the flavor.

Match Image Tags

Ensure REGISTRY_URL and TAG match the images you built or pushed:

export REGISTRY_URL=<registry-prefix>
export TAG=<image-tag>

To validate a locally built Milvus flavor, also set:

export VECTORDB_BACKEND=milvus
