`ffsecurity`¶

The ffsecurity component serves as a gateway to the FindFace core. It provides interaction between the FindFace Core and the web interface, and the system functioning as a whole. The ffsecurity component includes the following services:

findface-security-proto: provides HTTP and web socket (along with Django).
findface-security-worker: provides interaction with the other system components.
findface-security-monitoring-updater: updates the ffsec_monitoring gallery in the biometric database (see :galleries).
findface-security-webhook-updater: pulls webshooks (see Webhooks).

The ffsecurity component also performs the functions of findface-facerouter (part of the FindFace Core), setting processing directives for detected faces. It accepts a face 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 ffsecurity configuration is done through the /etc/ffsecurity/config.py configuration file.

When configuring ffsecurity, refer to the following parameters:

Parameter	Description
`EXTERNAL_ADDRESS`	External IP address or URL that will be used to access the FindFace Security web interface.
`VIDEO_DETECTOR_TOKEN`	To authorize the video face detection module, come up with a token and specify it here.
`VIDEO_MANAGER_ADDRESS`	IP address of the `findface-video-manager` host.
`NTLS_HTTP_URL`	IP address of the `findface-ntls` host.
`ROUTER_URL`	IP address of the `ffsecurity` host that will receive detected faces from the `findface-video-worker` instance(s). Specify either external or internal IP address, subject to the network through which `findface-video-worker` interacts with `ffsecurity`.
`SF_API_ADDRESS`	IP address of the `findface-sf-api` host.
`IGNORE_UNMATCHED`	Disable logging events for faces which have no match in the dossiers (negative verification result). Set true if the system has to process a large number of faces.
`CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD`	Face similarity threshold for verification
`MINIMUM_DOSSIER_QUALITY`	Minimum quality of a face in a dossier photo. Photos containing faces of worse quality will be rejected when uploading to a dossier. Upright faces in frontal position are considered the best quality. They result in values around 0, mostly negative (such as -0.00067401276, for example). Inverted faces and large face angles are estimated with negative values some -5 and less. By default, `’MINIMUM_DOSSIER_QUALITY’: -2` which is the average quality.
`EVENTS_FEATURES`	If you enabled recognition models in the `findface-extraction-api` configuration file, list them here.
