``findface-security``
---------------------------------

The ``findface-security`` component serves as a gateway to the FindFace core. It provides interaction between the FindFace Core and the web interface, the system functioning as a whole.

The ``findface-security`` component also performs the functions of ``findface-facerouter`` (part of the FindFace Core), setting processing directives for detected objects. It accepts an object bbox and normalized image along with the original image and other data (for example, the detection date and time) from the ``findface-video-worker`` service and redirect them to ``findface-sf-api`` for further processing.


The ``findface-security`` configuration is done through the ``/etc/findface-security/config.py`` configuration file. You can find its default content :download:`here <_scripts/findface-security.config.py.txt>`.

The ``/etc/findface-security/config.py`` file has detailed comments for each setting. Refer to them when configuring ``findface-security``.
