Edge devices join AcuSight from the Devices page: generate a one-time setup command, then run it on the device over SSH. It registers itself and appears in your device list — no networking or firewall setup required.
1

Open Devices and add a device

In the sidebar, open Devices, then click Add Device to generate a setup command.
2

Run the command on the device

SSH into the edge machine and run the command AcuSight gives you.
3

The device comes online

It registers automatically and appears in the device list.

​
What you need on the device

  • A Linux edge machine (arm64, amd64, or arm) with Docker installed.
  • SSH access to the device, and its IP address.
  • Outbound internet access — the device reaches AcuSight over HTTPS. It doesn’t need a public address, open ports, or firewall changes.

​
Step 1 — Generate a setup command

Open Devices from the sidebar (just below Home) and click Add Device. AcuSight opens Add Physical Device with a ready-to-run setup command:
Add Physical Device dialog

Add Device generates a one-time setup command to run on the edge device.

Click the copy icon to grab the command. It’s single-use and expires after 24 hours — generate a fresh one for each device.

​
Step 2 — Run the command on the device

Run the command on the edge device itself. SSH in first, then paste it:
The installer pulls the AcuSight agent, starts it, and registers the device against your organization. If the device’s user can’t reach the Docker daemon, run the setup command with sudo.

​
Step 3 — Confirm it’s online

Back on the Devices page, the new device appears in the list (use Refresh if needed). From there you can point it at a project and start collecting data.

​
Add a virtual device

Next to Add Device is Add Virtual Device. A virtual device generates simulated device events instead of running on real hardware — handy for trying out projects, dashboards, and event flows before you have a physical camera connected. Create one the same way, straight from the dashboard, with nothing to install.
