Video Recorder: findface-video-storage and findface-video-streamer-cpu

Video Recorder is an optional part of the FindFace Core. It works in the following way:

• The findface-video-storage service implements video chunk management. It takes video chunks from the findface-video-worker component, puts them into the storage (findface-upload), and writes their meta-information and whereabouts to the Video Recorder database (MongoDB). By request from findface-security, it issues information about existing video chunks in the form of Websocket-links to the corresponding streams. These links are further used by findface-video-streamer-cpu to deliver the video to a user for viewing and downloading.

• By request from findface-security-ui, the findface-video-streamer-cpu service extracts requested video chunks from findface-video-storage and findface-video-worker (only the last chunk if it’s not yet recorded to the storage). Then it merges the video chunks into a one-piece video and delivers it to a user for viewing and downloading.

The findface-video-storage configuration is done through the /etc/findface-video-storage.conf configuration file. You can find its default content here.

The findface-video-streamer-cpu configuration is done through the /etc/findface-video-streamer-cpu.ini configuration file. You can find its default content here.
