- Please note if you are using CCTV Template for image detection from CCTV footage, MQTT is not required . One just needs to provide the internet reachable url while creating the device and wait till the url is validated in the system and add the device . In that case step no 10/11 can be ignored. Once the video url is added click on “validate video stream”. This checks if the stream is alive and qstream servers are able to detect objects from the stream. If success you can see the image obtained from the video stream below and can save the device configurations.
