At that time, there were no such systems, and as Google didn&#8217;t have Corel or AI processors, so we used arm processors. We improved the state-of-the-art models for AI image processing and object detection, which at that time took 30ms to identify objects in an image on a Raspberry Pi. We achieved this in 50ms with our AI object detection models. Using Google Cloud App Engine, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Storage, we developed a web app. The edge device sent video metadata and fragments to the backend, where the user could search for objects in the video using the user interface. The backend API was built using Android, iOS, and React, and displayed the data received from these APIs. This prevented the analysis of the user&#8217;s videos, and only the videos the user wanted to see would be listed. For fast camera opening in the stream and in the client and web app, we used WebRTC. That is done through technical leadership, project management, and delivery lifecycle oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technology Stack: <\/strong>Jira, Confluence, Smart Sheets, MS Office<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methodology:<\/strong> Agile<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">\u25a0 <strong>Project:<\/strong> IOT Devices Development<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"772\" height=\"389\" src=\"https:\/\/benjamin100.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benjamin100.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-1.png 772w, https:\/\/benjamin100.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-1-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/benjamin100.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-1-768x387.png 768w, https:\/\/benjamin100.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-1-600x302.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Description: <\/strong>Production of various smart home products including door\/window sensors, motion sensors, multi-sensors, portable buttons, gateways, modular LED lights, and smart plugs.
