2. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
VXFACES SERVER
It is recommended to install VxFaces Core. Server characteristics directly depend on the number of cameras processed by the system. An approximate calculation for the most common values is presented in the table below.
| Number of cameras | CPU (Core) | RAM (GB) | HDD (GB) | SSD (GB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 camera | 5 | 16 | 600 | 300 |
| 2 cameras | 6 | 16 | 700 | 300 |
| 3 cameras | 8 | 16 | 700 | 300 |
| 5 cameras | 10 | 24 | 800 | 300 |
| 7 cameras | 14 | 24 | 900 | 300 |
| 10 cameras | 18 | 40 | 1000 | 300 |
Operating System: Windows 10, Windows Server 2012 and higher. The account (login / password) (including for the remote user) should remain unchanged throughout the installation. Account (login / password) should allow to increase privileges to the Administrator if necessary.
VxFaces is a ready-made software product and is distributed through the transfer of electronic license keys to the database of persons (the core of the system), as well as to the source of obtaining biometric data (for example, a video surveillance camera)
Technical support certificate includes analysis of incidents of solution operation and regular software updates
