Configure and Start Video Face Detection ============================================ This section will guide you through the :program:`fkvideo_detector` deployment process. Follow the steps below minding the sequence. .. note:: The fkvideo_detector component has to be :ref:`installed `. .. rubric:: In this section: .. contents:: :local: .. _camera-fkvideo: Specify Video Streams ------------------------ To specify video streams for face detection, do the following: #. Make a copy of the configuration file ``/etc/fkvideo.ini``. Open the new file for editing. .. code:: sudo cp /etc/fkvideo.ini /etc/fk_local_config.ini sudo vi /etc/fk_local_config.ini #. If you have only one camera, you can add it in the new configuration file. .. code:: [General] ; Host settings api-host=127.0.0.1 ; Put your token here api-token=RczGgVEMizR1njHHQegNH_g9mwGl6-A1 api-port=8000 ; Camera params ; If params doesn't set detector ask cameras list from server by key ; Key for receiving cameras list ;detector-name=detec1 ; Camera ID camid=local ; Stream path ; Example: rtsp:// - network stream; /dev/video0 - webcam; file@FPS:PATH - file with configurable FPS source=rtsp://admin:qwert1234@192.168.104.199:554/Streaming/Channels/1 ; Maximum cameras detectors-max=20 ; Motion detector scale coefficient for best performance scale=0.3 ; In realtime mode detector posts many frames wih increasing quality ; Else it sends only best frame realtime=1 ; URL that will receive frames request-url=/v1/face/ ; You can add custom head and body params to HTML POST request head= body=mf_selector=all,meta=User Meta ; ; Address of ntls server license-ntls-server=127.0.0.1:3133 .. tip:: You can find an example of the configuration file `here `__. #. If you have more than one camera, use the Server to store all your cameras. Add your camera to server by POST request v1/camera. For example, add camera to detector=detec1: .. rubric:: Request .. code:: curl -H 'Authorization: Token 1234567890qwertyuiop' -F "detector=detec1" -F "url=rtsp://user:pass@192.168.1.1:554/Streaming/Channels/1" -F "meta=test" http://localhost:8000/v1/camera .. rubric:: Response .. code:: {"detector": "detec1", "id": "0e663c00-b945-4676-bb0e-032c1dcf353a", "meta": "test", "url": "rtsp:// user:pass@192.168.1.1:554/Streaming/Channels/1"} Now edit your configuration file. For example, detector will connect to server, and get all cameras with detector=detec1 .. code:: [General] ; Host settings api-host=127.0.0.1 ; Put your token here api-token=RczGgVEMizR1njHHQegNH_g9mwGl6-A1 api-port=8000 ; Camera params ; If params doesn't set detector ask cameras list from server by key ; Key for receiving cameras list detector-name=detec1 ; Camera ID ;camid= ; Stream path ; Example: rtsp:// - network stream; /dev/video0 - webcam; file@FPS:PATH - file with configurable FPS ;source= ; Maximum cameras detectors-max=20 ; Motion detector scale coefficient for best performance scale=0.3 ; In realtime mode detector posts many frames wih increasing quality ; Else it sends only best frame realtime=1 ; URL that will receive frames request-url=/v1/face/ ; You can add custom head and body params to HTML POST request head= body=mf_selector=all,,meta=UserMeta ; ; Address of ntls server license-ntls-server=127.0.0.1:3133 .. tip:: You can find an example of the configuration file `here `__. Start Component as Application ------------------------------------------  To start fkvideo_detector as an application, execute: .. code:: fkvideo_detector -c /etc/fk_local_config.ini Use this method for testing purposes. Start Component as Service -------------------------------- To run the face detection component as a service, do the following: #. Execute the following command: .. code:: sudo service fkvideo_detector@fk_local_config start #. Check service status. The command will return a service description, a status should be active (running). .. code:: sudo service fkvideo_detector@fk_local_config status .. note:: You can get the list of your cameras by the following request: .. code:: curl -H 'Authorization: Token 1234567890qwertyuiop' http://localhost:8000/v1/camera | jq
