Embedded Engineering for AI Cameras and IoT products | SQUAD Tech

Mobile
Engineering
for Smart Camera Performance

We develop native iOS and Android apps that interface directly with smart camera
hardware—handling real-time video streaming,
BLE/Wi-Fi communication, on-device event processing, and live view optimization.

Our Expertise
in Mobile Engineering

We engineer native mobile applications that are tightly integrated with IoT camera hardware, supporting live video,
real-time device control, and secure connectivity at scale.

Native Development

We develop native iOS (Swift, Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin, Java) apps that connect to embedded systems using BLE, Wi-Fi, and proprietary protocols. The apps manage device provisioning, two-way sync, OTA updates, real-time telemetry from edge devices.

Streaming & Playback Optimization

We implement encrypted WebRTC pipelines for live video and optimize playback with codec-aware rendering, adaptive buffering, and responsive media controls.

IoT & Connectivity

BLE/Wi-Fi communication stacks, device onboarding, certificate-based authentication, and robust OTA firmware update workflows. We support proprietary communication protocols and real-time command-response communication.

UX Engineering & Design Systems

Responsive, hardware-aware interfaces built with accessibility, animation frameworks, and adaptive layouts. Figma-integrated design systems ensure speed and consistency across products.

Security & Performance

Biometric authentication, keychain/keystore protection, encrypted local storage, and TLS-based transport security. We tune memory usage, CPU loads, and background handling for optimal performance.

QA & Continuous Delivery

Full-stack test automation across unit, integration, and end-to-end layers. CI pipelines include real-device testing, performance benchmarks, regression checks, and App Store policy compliance.

Core Frameworks & Architecture

Reusable libraries for network sync, feature toggles, push notifications, and app state management. Designed for scalability and consistency across multiple projects.

AI/ML Integration

Support for on-device and cloud-based ML tasks: facial recognition, behavior analysis overlays and predictive monitoring built into mobile UX.

App Store Release Management

Version control, store metadata handling, A/B rollout, phased releases, and real-time feedback analysis for Apple App Store and Google Play.

Observability & Telemetry

Integrated runtime analytics, crash monitoring, performance telemetry, and usage heatmaps—allowing continuous optimization and insight into real-world usage patterns.

Release Engineering & Delivery Operations

Structured delivery workflows, release train coordination, and internal feature flag systems for safe, iterative releases.

Predictable Planning & Process Control

Agile methodology, transparent sprint planning, and milestone-driven delivery with full visibility into progress, risks, and outcomes—backed by certified technical project managers.

Challenges We Solve for
AI-Powered Smart Cameras
Challenges We Solve | SQUAD Tech

With deep domain expertise, we tackle the real-world challenges mobile apps face in connected security systems—ensuring reliability, performance, and seamless device integration.

Reliable Low-Latency Live Video Monitoring

We implement WebRTC-based, end-to-end encrypted video pipelines optimized for low latency and adaptive quality—so users can monitor their cameras in real time.

Seamless & Secure Device Onboarding

We build reliable BLE/Wi-Fi provisioning flows with secure pairing, OTA update handling, and fallback support—ensuring users can connect their cameras without frustration.

Streaming Reliability Across Real-World Conditions

We optimize mobile video pipelines for low-latency, high-res playback that adapts to signal strength, and network variability.

Two-Way Audio with Minimal Delay

We enable high-quality, low-latency audio communication for smart doorbells and cameras, handling mobile audio streams and session reliability across devices.

Smart Notifications

Integration of the mobile user interface with algorithms to display image-enriched notifications and alerts triggered by the detection of custom objects such as people, vehicles, animals, and packages.
