FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a standalone video analytics API using Docker against an existing Elasticsearch cluster?▼

The standalone video analytics API supports optional Kafka connectivity alongside Elasticsearch. You can configure Kafka brokers to handle event streaming while maintaining the minimal REST API surface for calibration and sensor data.

What endpoints are available when deploying the video analytics API standalone?▼

You need Docker installed and a reachable Elasticsearch cluster to deploy the standalone video analytics API. Optional Kafka brokers can be configured if event streaming is required for your deployment scenario.

Can I configure the video analytics API to use image-baked or service-shipped configurations?▼

The standalone video analytics API is intended for lightweight deployments where only the REST API surface is needed. If you require the full VSS warehouse stack or complex data processing pipelines, this standalone approach may be insufficient.

Does the standalone video analytics API deployment require Kafka?▼

Kafka is optional for the standalone video analytics API deployment. The service requires Docker and a reachable Elasticsearch cluster, but Kafka brokers are only needed if your use case demands event streaming capabilities.
