Some details
A startup that was looking to develop a pet monitoring camera had a software development team in-house ready to implement the solution for pet owners. But they needed a strong hardware development partner to be able to handle the low-level requirements.
We provided PCB design and developed a custom embedded Linux distribution build for the device installed at home for pet monitoring. We also developed a camera module
that enables real-time video streaming via a mobile application.The main purpose of the camera is to watch if a pet is playing nicely while the owner is away. The pet owners can watch, talk to, and play with their pets using a mobile app.
Technologies used:
- Allwinner A20 SoC with 2 ARM cores as CPU
- Custom Linux image
- CMOS sensor (camera) with CSI bus
- H.264 hardware codec for video encoding
- Streaming 1080p at 30fps H.264 encoded video
- Onboard WiFi module - C/C++ languages
- Altium Designer
