Hello everybody and good day. This is Fred with Tech Talk and we are coming at you today with
a neat video on what to do in the event that you need to send a video clip from your video
surveillance system to law enforcement or an insurance company or even your corporate
office. If you have ever tried to do this via email you have undoubtedly experienced
an error message saying the file is too big to be processed through the email exchange server.
It happens a lot if the video is more than a minute or two in length. You will get those.
The way around this, what we do, is we use amazon's AWS. It is a free service to a point.
You can't store hours' worth of video, but what you can do is you can upload
your video clip to AWS and generate a URL link for that video and send that to the receiving parties
via an email link. They will be able to double click on the link and view the video and download
the video on their end. It is a great free useful tool we're going to cover it right now!
Alright let's get into the meat and potatoes. You know the drill, if you have not yet subscribed to
our channel, please hit the subscribe button in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen so
you'll be notified when we upload future content. Also like this video if it's useful to you and as
always leave comments. Many of these videos, such as this one, are based on subscriber questions and
comments. So, we appreciate that. But yeah, the first thing you're going to do is you're
just going to google amazon web services. If you do not already have an AWS account,
when you click that you'll be prompted to create a free account. I have already done that.
So if you have not, to catch up to the video you can do that now. Once you create your account,
you're simply going to sign into it. Okay, when you sign into it you will see a services tab
and it will show all of the amazon AWS services down at the bottom. You will see storage. That's
what we want. We want S3 which is scalable storage and the cloud so we're going to click on the S3
to store our security camera videos.
Once we do that, we need to create a bucket. We have not used this tool yet, so we don't have
a bucket to dump our security camera video files or our data in. So, we are going to create bucket
and we're going to name our bucket. This does have to be
all lowercase. You can't use capital digits so let's just do youtube
tutorial right. And you'll have to pick your region. We are not in Canada folks,
we are in the United States. We are Eastern.
So that's going to be our bucket. We do not want to block public access, okay. The purpose
of doing this with these security camera videos is to send a link to recipients and for them to
be able to view them. This is saying turning off, uh block all public might result in the bucket
becoming public and that's what we want so we can certainly acknowledge
that okay and then we're going to create our bucket folks.
and there it is. YouTube tutorial. Objects can be public, and it was created today okay.
So, the next thing we're going to have to do is add our security camera video clip.
There is a video link above on how to play back and download security camera system video,
we don't have time in this this tutorial to cover that. At this point i have already
downloaded a security camera system video file to my downloads file
it's right here
as you can see it's a video clip. Ok, so what i want to do with this is attach it to the cloud.
So in order to do that we are going to open up AWS again we're going to go into our bucket. Double
click on the bucket and you'll see an uplink button. I'm sorry. upload once we hit upload,
we're going to add our file okay which is that video okay so we can double click on that
now this is where we need to pay attention folks okay a lot of people just hit upload
and it's not going to work. You need to go into permissions right here okay. Under access control
we want to grant public read access okay it's defaulted private so if you don't rant public
it's not going to work and again you're going to have to agree and understand to the risks
okay posting video so you don't want to send anything sensitive in nature okay
they're going to need to link to view it okay nobody can view it without the link and once your
receiving party gets it you can certainly delete it but you need to agree to that risk okay so once
we do that we can upload the video and you'll see your little uploading bar here we're at 22 35 48
let it finish okay the upload succeeded
so now when we go to our bucket okay we will see our security camera system video
okay and from this you can open the video and make sure it plays
well we picked another file that's okay it's still a downloaded file
get out of that
and right here you will see the url that is what you want to share
before you share it you certainly want to double click on it make sure it works okay and it does
so what we can do is copy that right we can copy the link and we can go into our email
send a new message
we'll just send it to ourselves how's that and we will say test youtube
okay and then here we're going to paste
link and we're going to send it to ourselves right
won't you guys be going through my email either right should be in our inbox guys
all right it's not yet
let's go to our send file see what's going on here
oh it's hinted okay there's our clip
there's our video okay super simple again it's a free tool you have to use over five gigs before
amazon aws will start charging you and that is a lot of video um so it's a good tool um it resolves
the problem of not being able to send large videos to two other parties just sign up for aws create
a bucket and you are good to go hopefully you enjoyed the video we'll see you in the field
