Installation

To deploy FindFace Security on Windows, do the following:

  1. Install the Docker virtualization environment (see the Docker’s official documentation).

  2. In the Docker settings, share the hard drive you chose to install FindFace Security. To do so, navigate to Settings —> Shared Drives, select the drive and apply Share.

  3. In the Docker settings, allocate the maximum possible number of CPU cores and required amount of RAM to support video processing from all the cameras in use, as well as the Docker’s own needs. See System Requirements for details.

    Tip

    For example, allocate 6 Gb if you use 1 camera, 8 Gb if 2 cameras, etc.

  4. Add the current Windows user to the docker-users group.

    Important

    Do not use a user account with an empty password.

  5. Download the FindFace Security for Windows installation files: <Install-FindFaceSecurity>.exe and <Install-FindFaceSecurity>.nsisbin. For successful installation, these files have to be in the root of the same directory.

  6. Launch <Install-FindFaceSecurity>.exe.
