Investigation module configuration

SmatFace Station v5_1.12 introduced a new investigation module, where user can upload video files for investigation. This functionality requires configuration changes for proper connection between the Min.IO and the SmartFace Station.

It is necessary to set these parameters in the configuration file in SmartFace Station:

  • S3_ENDPOINT - machine host name or IP where MIN.IO/S3 is installed (default - pseudo IP address of the local computer)

  • S3_ACCESS_KEY - login

  • S3_SECRET_KEY - password

  • S3_BUCKET - a container for objects stored in S3.

Default values after SmartFace Station installation are:

S3_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:9000     
S3_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin
S3_SECRET_KEY=minioadmin
S3_BUCKET=inno-smartface

This will not work, when you run SmartFace Station on a client computer. The SmartFace Station will search for MIN.IO database on the client machine, not on the server.

Example with host name:

S3_ENDPOINT=http://sfit-sface-3w:9000     
S3_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin
S3_SECRET_KEY=minioadmin
S3_BUCKET=inno-smartface

If the client computer is in the network, where sfit-sface-3w server is reachable, the user will be able to upload video files.
