FindFace Enterprise Server SDK consists of the Biometric Data Analysis and Recognition Server (FindFace Server or Server hereinafter) and, optionally, the video face detector and other additional components.

The FindFace Server functioning is provided by interaction of the following components:

Service Description
findface-facenapi Python daemon which runs HTTP API. This daemon executes face detection functions, interfaces with MongoDB and findface-nnapi and tarantool@FindFace daemons.
tntapi (tarantool@FindFace as a shard) Daemon which enables interaction with the face descriptors index.
findface-nnapi Daemon extracts a feature vector (based on neural network). Requires the package with models <findface-data>.deb.
MongoDB Database which stores faces metadata, galleries details, settings, etc.
findface-upload Nginx web server used to receive images using WebDAV.
NTLS Local license server which interfaces with the NtechLab Global License Server (for the network licensing) or a USB dongle (for the on-premise licensing) and passes a license to licensable components.
