**Note**  
Streaming Video and Bulk Image Analysis is no longer available to new customers. For more information, see [Amazon Rekognition feature availability changes](rekognition-availability-changes.md).  
**This change does not impact the availability of other Amazon Rekognition features.**

You can use Amazon Rekognition Video to detect and recognize faces from a collection in streaming video. With Amazon Rekognition Video you can create a stream processor ([CreateStreamProcessor](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rekognition/latest/APIReference/API_CreateStreamProcessor.html)) to start and manage the analysis of streaming video. 

To detect a known face in a video stream (face search), Amazon Rekognition Video uses Amazon Kinesis Video Streams to receive and process a video stream. The analysis results are output from Amazon Rekognition Video to a Kinesis data stream and then read by your client application. 

To use Amazon Rekognition Video with streaming video, your application needs to implement the following:
+ A Kinesis video stream for sending streaming video to Amazon Rekognition Video. For more information, see the [Amazon Kinesis Video Streams Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/what-is-kinesis-video.html). 
+ An Amazon Rekognition Video stream processor to manage the analysis of the streaming video. For more information, see [Overview of Amazon Rekognition Video stream processor operations](streaming-video.md#using-rekognition-video-stream-processor).
+ A Kinesis data stream consumer to read the analysis results that Amazon Rekognition Video sends to the Kinesis data stream. For more information, see [Kinesis Data Streams Consumers](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/amazon-kinesis-consumers.html). 

This section contains information about writing an application that creates the Kinesis video stream and other necessary resources, streams video into Amazon Rekognition Video, and receives the analysis results.
