I have trained a YOLOv5 model and would like to test it for detection on another database, I trained it using the RoboFlow source code.

I would like to know how I can get this model and test it somewhere else, is there any ready-made code that I can do this?

Hi Diego,

For your custom model, if you have [saved the model weights](https://blog.roboflow.com/how-to-save-and-load-weights-in-google-colab/), then you can use detect.py from YOLOv5 to run inference - just remember to clone the repository to your local machine. Here’s an example guide on running inference with your webcam:

- [Run YOLOv5 on Your Webcam - Roboflow](https://help.roboflow.com/en_US/guides/run-yolov5-on-your-webcam)

There are more options available on the repository, outlined in the [Documentation](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5#documentation) and the [detect.py source code](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/blob/master/detect.py).

Additionally, here are our resources to help with performing inference using models trained with [Roboflow Train](https://docs.roboflow.com/train):
