    Azure Kinect is not an "intelligent edge" camera meaning that it needs laptop or other HW  to be connected and run inferencing. Vision AI Developer Kit is a perfect way to get started with Azure IoT and AI. It may fall short in some aspects when you start doing more comprehensive AI models etc. 

     

    We have a collection of information and example projects in A@Edge community pages. Take a look what you can do with different kinds of dev kits. NVidia's Jetson Nano and any Intel power dev kit are also good choices. They typically require a bit more advanced user to take the dev kit into use (but you'll also be able to do more) where as Vision AI Dev Kit allows to do a "no code" AI development when you use customvision.ai to build your AI models.
