System Requirements

To calculate the FindFace Security host(s) characteristics, use the requirements provided in this chapter.

Tip

Be sure to learn about the FindFace Security architecture first.

In this chapter:

Basic Configuration

Warning

FindFace Security 4.3 is the last version that supports Ubuntu 16.04. FindFace Security 4.4 will support only Ubuntu 18.04.

Important

If the resolution of a camera(s) in use is more than 1280x720px, it is strongly recommended to use the GPU-accelerated package findface-video-worker-gpu.

Note

In the case of a high-load system (~> 15 events per second), we recommend using an SSD.

	Minimum	Recommended
CPU	Intel Core i5 CPU with 4+ physical cores 3+ GHz. AVX2 support	Intel Xeon Silver/Gold with 6+ physical cores
	The own needs of FindFace Security require 2 cores HT > 2.5 GHz. The characteristics also depend on the number of cameras in use. A single camera 720p@25FPS requires 2 cores >2.5 GHz. AVX2 support
GPU (optional)	Nvidia Geforce® GTX 1060 6 GB	Nvidia Geforce® GTX 1080Ti+ с 11+ GB RAM
	Supported series: GeForce (Maxwell, Pascal, Turing, and above), Tesla (Maxwell, Pascal, Volta v100, Turing, and above)
RAM	10 Gb	16+ Gb
	The own needs of FindFace Security require 8 Gb. The RAM consumption also depends on the number of cameras in use. A single camera 720p@25FPS requires 2 GB RAM
HDD (SSD for best performance)	16 Gb	16+ Gb
	The own needs of the operating system and FindFace Security require 15 GB. The total volume is subject to the required depth of the event archive in the database and in the log, at the rate of 1.5 Mb per 1 event
Operating system	Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, x64 only

Note

You can also use an Intel-based VM if there is AVX2 support, and eight physical cores are allocated exclusively to the VM.
