Hi @Chen_Chen

There are several ways to run object detection on a video. Since video inference can come in many forms, we provide the flexibility to run video inference in many ways. Here are some resources you can use to get started:

- [Video Inference with Roboflow](https://blog.roboflow.com/video-inference/)
- [GitHub - roboflow/video-inference: Example showing how to do inference on a video file with Roboflow Infer](https://github.com/roboflow/video-inference)
- [How to Monitor a Video with Computer Vision](https://blog.roboflow.com/monitor-a-video-computer-vision/)
