Upload videos to S3

[alexovai]

The repo talks about uploading images to S3. I was able to successfully upload the images however I tried to upload video clip to S3. I changed the Action to "send video clip through HTTPS" however I am not able to upload this. I checked the axis camera logs and I get following error

actionengined-user[1014]: Action rule "video to S3" is starting action "Send video clip through HTTPS while the rule is active"

If anyone has tried uploading video clips to S3 that would be helpful.

Hi @alexovai. First off, I assume you've updated the source code running in AWS Lambda to accept video files, because currently it is only accepting images.

Second, the HTTP status code 408 reported by AWS is 408 Request Timeout. How large of a file are you trying to upload?

Hi @mattias-kindborg-at-work
Thank you very much to point out this issue. I wasn't aware of that condition in lambda js code. After changing it I was able to receive .mkv successfully in S3.
FYI the video size is under 2 MB, 30 sec recording.

BTW is there any way we could receive mp4 instead of mkv ?

Hi @mattias-kindborg-at-work,

We were doing some testing and learned the maximum duration we can record and send the file to the cloud is 55 seconds with 640x360 i.e 1.4 MB

We tried different duration and 55 second is the one that worked. Here are the logs that prints the error

Can you please point out any workarounds if we need to transfer longer filesize to cloud storage.

Good to know, thanks for the feedback!
