NPI (New Product Introduction)
& Sustaining
Full-cycle PCB (Printed Circuit Board), DFM (Design for Manufacturability), and BOM (Bill of Materials) optimization, with part cost reductions up to 15%. The team develops NPI designs from concept to production.
RF & EMC
Antenna design, mmWave radar integration, and full-stack RF validation — including EMC/EMI and signal/power integrity testing. Performed in-house using advanced lab infrastructure.
Power & Thermal
Multi-channel modeling for extended battery life on battery-powered devices, achieving multi-week/months battery life on wireless doorbells and cameras under real-world conditions. Custom multi-channel measurement systems allow advanced power consumption analysis.
Mechanical Design
Rapid prototyping, structural simulations, DFM for plastics/metal, thermal sealing, and optical component integration.

End-to-End Video & Audio Streaming
We design embedded and cloud media processing stacks, selecting optimized codecs, adaptive bitrate algorithms, and custom media servers to deliver gapless, high-quality video and audio across Wi-Fi, 3G, LTE, and other networks, supporting millions of concurrent streams with real-time transcoding and resilience against network impairments.
AI-Driven Object Detection & False Alerts Management
Our on-device AI motion detection delivers push notifications within a few seconds, significantly reducing the frequency of false alarms. Solutions offer environmental adaptability for accurate detection in varying conditions and support advanced smart detection (person, package, vehicle, pet). We leverage efficient edge computing to reduce cloud dependency and operational costs.
Secure OTA Updates & Remote Management
We implement end-to-end encrypted over-the-air firmware upgrades and device-provisioning frameworks—compliant with GDPR and CCPA standards—to ensure field-deployed devices stay up-to-date, diagnosable, and secure at scale.
Ultra Low Power Firmware for Extended Battery Life
& Device Reliability
Through detailed power modeling and in-house labs, we optimize firmware to achieve extended battery life and consistent performance for wireless cameras and doorbells under real-world operating conditions.

Our Process
We have a refined five-phase process—shaped by our experience delivering complex embedded systems—that brings clarity, consistency, long-term scalability, and technical alignment across the full product lifecycle:
Strategize
Stakeholder workshops to align vision, use cases and constraints; deliver a detailed design brief, UX/market research, and project roadmap.
Design
“Looks-like / works-like” prototypes, system architecture specs, PCB/RF/ME layouts, and initial UX/UI mockups.
Develop
Iterative firmware, driver, and SDK development; hardware bring-up; integration of communication stacks and ML pipelines.
Launch
Pilot programs, A/B testing, performance trials, and launch-dashboards—gathering metrics to stabilize your product in the market.
SustaiN
Ongoing feature enhancements, security updates, BOM cost optimization, ML-model refreshes, and second-source support.
