There are five components, which are:

Hermes - the load balancer acting as police officer directing traffic to the appropriate components capable of handling the required requests and data.
Ares - the thin client sending its camera feed to off-site storage and face recognition (Demeter and Nemesis respectively).
Demeter - the off-site storage component. Stores the camera feed for future replay.
Nemesis - the number crunching component - processes the images in an attempt to recognize a face.
Mors - the logging / notifying component saving the trigger events (a face is recognized).
