This support article describes how to directly setup Mavis Camera to use Amazon S3 as a Mavis C2C destination. To remotely configure Mavis C2C use Mavis Cloud Hub in a browser by visiting hub.mavis.cloud

What is Amazon S3

Amazon S3 is an object storage service offering industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. It allows customers to store and protect any amount of data for a range of use cases, including websites, mobile applications, backup and restore, archive and enterprise applications.

Connecting to Amazon S3

Ensure you have an S3 bucket and correct user permissions. Sign in to AWS Console for S3 and create a bucket (or make a note of an existing bucket) you wish to use with Mavis C2C. Use IAM to create a user and attach the following Permissions Policy (e.g. as an inline policy via JSON), replacing "mavis-c2c-example-bucket" with the name of the bucket you want to use.
```
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "mavis-c2c",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:PutObject",
        "s3:ListBucket",
        "s3:GetBucketLocation"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::mavis-c2c-example-bucket",
        "arn:aws:s3:::mavis-c2c-example-bucket/*"
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```
Note: AWS includes many different ways to manage users and permission. In this example we have used an inline policy attached directly to a user. Contact your AWS administrator if you wish to setup your permissions differently.
