Edge AI calculators by the question you bring

Last updated: September 2026

The V2 engines answer from sourced registries and the kernel’s verdict — every constraint stamped with an evidence class and a source line. In September 2026 four legacy calculators were retired (Stream Calculator, Inference Estimator, Memory Estimator, and the old System Designer, plus Network Bandwidth, Storage Endurance, Power Budget, and Module Power); their URLs redirect to the V2 owner listed here.

Will this hardware hold my cameras?

Camera Stream Capacity

Answers: Decode, inference, memory and network evaluated together for a camera workload — vendor NVDEC tables, what breaks first, and a headroom ladder.

Evidence classes A–E with sources on every constraint · methodology on the tool page

Frigate Hardware & Detector Fit

Answers: Whether this box runs Frigate for this many cameras — detector fit, decode headroom, and a config snippet you can paste.

Evidence classes A–E with sources on every constraint · methodology on the tool page

Which model, and does it fit?

Answers: Whether compute holds this load on this platform — required fps against benchmark throughput, with rows, class and latency tier behind every number.

Evidence classes A–E with sources on every constraint · methodology on the tool page

Answers: Which model to run on the hardware you already have — every model with a benchmark row, ranked on accuracy, headroom, evidence and size.

Model Memory Fit

Answers: Whether this LLM, VLM, ASR or vision pipeline fits in a Jetson module’s memory — weights, KV cache, runtime overhead and OS headroom.

Benchmark Explorer

Answers: What has been measured for this hardware, model and precision — class C/D rows, expected ranges, and cross-hardware comparison.

Benchmark Reality Check

Answers: Why your measured fps, latency or tokens/s disagrees with the published range — gap ratio and ranked causes with verify commands.

Is this Jetson configuration right?

Jetson Configuration Checker

Answers: Whether this module, JetPack, install method, runtime and power mode is one NVIDIA actually supports — plus on-device verify commands.

Evidence classes A–E with sources on every constraint · methodology on the tool page

Answers: Which carrier board, system or devkit fits this module, cameras, PoE, temperature and price — sourced verdict per need, never a guessed spec.

Evidence classes A–E with sources on every constraint · methodology on the tool page

Thermal Feasibility Checker

Answers: Whether this module survives this enclosure, cooling class and site ambient — from the vendor’s TTP, SoC and operating-range limits.

Evidence classes A–E with sources on every constraint · methodology on the tool page

Jetson Power & PSU

Answers: Whether this supply runs this module — DC rail vs input window, power mode vs vendor maximum, and the PSU wattage to buy.

Evidence classes A–E with sources on every constraint · methodology on the tool page

PoE Node Planner

Answers: Whether this PoE switch powers your cameras — ports, per-port ceiling, budget with headroom and IEEE standard compatibility.

Evidence classes A–E with sources on every constraint · methodology on the tool page

Drive Endurance Fit

Answers: Whether this drive survives your camera wall — write rate vs vendor endurance, capacity for retention, and service life.

Which hardware, and what is the whole design?

Which complete configuration actually fits? Evaluate candidate configurations against performance, memory, decode, power, environment, software and production constraints.

Evidence classes A–E with sources on every constraint · methodology on the tool page

Architecture Designer

Answers: One deployment architecture — platform, nodes, camera split, a model per pipeline stage, constraints and BOM — composed and re-decided nowhere.

Hardware Selector

Which platform should I start with? Quickly compare Jetson, Hailo, Coral, RK3588 and other platforms for your workload.

Planning estimate (class E) · ranked shortlist from scenario and constraints

Planning estimate

Full Deployment Planner

Answers: End-to-end deployment planning — hardware, power, network and storage in a BOM with cost estimates and recommendations.

Planning calculator · evidence class E

Registry-priced

Deployment Cost & TCO

Answers: Price-registry hardware BOM and undiscounted horizon TCO — compute, storage, PoE, carrier, PSU and camera classes with explicit incomplete totals when a line has no listing.

Sourced registries (A–E) · powers designer and FDP cost rollups

Quick estimators

Fast planning rollups (class E). Use Hardware Match or the V2 owners above when you need sourced verdicts on every constraint.

Answers: GPU compute sizing for edge inference — platform recommendations with FPS and latency projections from architecture and throughput inputs.

Planning estimate (class E)

Reference

All live calculators

Same order as the grid above. V2 tools cite evidence classes A–E on every constraint; quick estimators are class E rollups.
