Build every layer yourself, or implement one that already runs on QCS6490. Your call

Your team can build firmware, cloud, mobile, and AI from scratch, or implement our production ready pre-build components that already run on AWS,
Qualcomm silicon, and spend this year improving the product your customers use.

SQUAD smart camera platform
Team
Hire or retrain across streaming, IoT setup, cloud integrations, and AI (Edge and Cloud).
Get the stack and a team that has already shipped it on QCS6490.
Timeline
6 to 12 months of software work before your first integration build, within a 12 to 18 month EVT/DVT/PVT program.
Run a camera solution on real silicon in under 30 days,
with a working device and branded app.
Compliance and cost
Manage NDAA, GDPR, security, and rising cloud costs yourself.
Start with NDAA and GDPR readiness, DevSecOps, and up to 70% less cloud bandwidth through on-device CV.
Control
Carry the whole stack and the cloud bill yourself.
Deploy into your own AWS account. You see and control the bill and the data.

You bring the use case and the hardware constraints. We deliver the software and, if you need it, the hardware too.

AI that runs where it should: vision on the camera, the heavy lifting in the cloud

Every solution on this stack comes with built-in analytics. Computer vision runs on the camera in real time, while heavier AI runs in the cloud.
Your customer types a sentence and gets the clip.

Computer vision (on the camera)

Object detection, motion detection, event recording, and snapshots run on the device in real time, with no round trip to the cloud.

Semantic video search (in the cloud)

Type “a person carrying a box” and get ranked clips in seconds. No tags, manual review, or hours of scrubbing.

LLM and VLM alert rules (in the cloud)

Describe the condition in plain language. The model reads the scene, so a moving branch doesn’t trigger an alert.

Person identity (in the cloud)

Recognize known individuals across cameras. Data is anonymized and GDPR-friendly.

Interactive assistant (in the cloud)

Ask a chatbot about the fleet: what happened at the north entrance last night, which devices are dropping frames, or when traffic peaks in the warehouse.

One team covers the whole stack. The analytics come built in, so you don’t depend on three separate vendors.

Try it on your own footage

3 products already mapped to the stack

Each product maps to modules already in the stack and running on Qualcomm silicon, so your team can scope the work in an afternoon.

Your product is likely one of these,
with different housing.

Connected-home security

A branded doorbell on Qualcomm SoC with secure BLE setup, WebRTC live view, on-device motion and person detection, cloud clip search, and your app in both stores. It’s the fastest path from this stack to a shipping SKU.

Logistics and warehousing

Warehouse and yard monitoring across a distribution center. Search “forklift near loading dock 4” or “person on foot in the truck lane” across every camera from one dashboard, and get plain-language alerts for events like a trailer parked in a fire lane or a dock door left open after a shift.

Industrial and construction safety

Multi-camera coverage with plain-language alert rules: no hard hat on the loading dock, someone in a restricted zone, or a vehicle where it shouldn’t be. OTA updates include rollback and are built for cameras installed where no one wants to drive back out.

Built to survive production and protect your margin

The questions teams skip in the first meeting and come back to before signing.

Reliability

OTA updates roll back automatically if a device fails to boot, so a bad release costs you a retry instead of a truck roll. Devices recover after network loss, and the health dashboard shows firmware version, uptime, and stream status across the fleet.

Security and compliance

A DevSecOps pipeline with signed builds and SBOM transparency lets your buyer see what's inside the firmware. The stack is NDAA-ready by default and GDPR-ready by design, and everything runs in your own AWS account, so sensitive data stays under your control.

Unit economics

Running CV on the camera reduces what you send to the cloud, which is the biggest driver of the per-device run rate at scale. Deployment happens in your own AWS account, so you see and control the bill directly.

Tell us your
use case.
We'll scope
the rest.
