Project: Pixie Smart Camera + App Prototype Objective: We are developing a smart camera system (Pixie) that behaves like a virtual camera operator. We are looking for a developer (or small team) to: 1. Build and refine the React Native Android application 2. Integrate real-time video processing (tracking + auto zoom) 3. Assist in sourcing or building a suitable prototype camera system This prototype will be used for investor demonstrations and product validation. We already have working prototype logic that: Performs real-time subject tracking Applies smooth, natural auto zoom (PID-style motion) Seamlessly transitions between face tracking and body tracking Your role is to bring this to life in a stable, real-time system. Core Requirements 1. Video Pipeline: * Input: RTSP stream from Wi-Fi camera * Real-time decoding and frame processing on Android * Low-latency performance (target <200ms) Notes: * Processing can be done at 1080p / 2.7K * 4K is desirable for output quality, not required for processing 2. Application Development (React Native + Native Modules) You will: * Integrate RTSP video into the app * Pass frames to processing layer (native if needed) * Render processed output (tracking + auto zoom) * Build a simple but functional UI for testing. Important: You may need to use native Android (Java/Kotlin/C++) for performance-critical parts 3. Tracking & Auto Zoom Integration: We already have: * Working tracking + auto zoom logic (prototype stage) You will: * Integrate and optimise this for real-time performance * Ensure smooth, stable behaviour * Maintain low latency 4. Connectivity Architecture (IMPORTANT): We are not using AP-mode cameras. Required setup: * Camera operates in Wi-Fi STA mode * Camera connects to: * either a router OR preferably a tablet hotspot (self-contained system) * App and camera communicate over local network (LAN) Streaming: * RTSP (primary) * WebRTC optional (bonus) 5. Camera (NEW REQUIREMENT): * We are currently sourcing the correct camera hardware. * We are looking for someone who can also assist with one of the following: Option A (Preferred): * Recommend and source a suitable off-the-shelf camera with: * STA mode * RTSP stream * Low latency Option B: * Build a prototype camera system, for example: * embedded Linux (e.g. Raspberry Pi or similar) * custom RTSP/WebRTC pipeline This is not mandatory, but a strong advantage 6. Power Requirements: * Battery-powered preferred * USB-C charging * For prototype: external battery acceptable Deliverables: * Working Android app (React Native + native components) * RTSP video successfully integrated * Real-time tracking + auto zoom functioning * Stable low-latency performance * Camera integrated and working with the system Basic documentation: * setup instructions * system architecture Success Criteria: * Smooth, natural tracking behaviour * Stable auto zoom * Low-latency live video * Reliable connection between camera and app * System suitable for investor demo Important Notes: * We do not currently have a final camera solution * Previous camera tested (AP mode) is not suitable * Flexibility and problem-solving are critical Ideal Candidate: * Strong experience with: * React Native * Android native development * real-time video (RTSP/WebRTC) Experience with: * OpenCV / computer vision * streaming pipelines * embedded systems (bonus) Final Note: We are not looking for a generic app developer. We are building a real-time, hardware-integrated product. If you can contribute across both software and hardware (even at a prototype level), that is a major advantage.

Hello, I understand you want a working Pixie Smart Camera prototype that does real-time 2.7K-4K video, subject tracking with auto zoom, and tight React Native Android app integration, all without cloud dependency. I’ll design a flexible on-device solution (embedded Linux or fast USB-on-device setup) that runs tracking and zoom in real time, streams over local Wi‑Fi, and exposes a clean interface for your React Native app. The plan: build a compact, power-efficient board with a capable processor, implement on-device video capture at the target fps, ensure robust RTSP/WebRTC streaming to the app, and provide simple APIs for video, control, and state. I’ll keep the architecture lightweight and well-documented, with a straightforward setup, clear module boundaries, and easy extension for future features. The deliverables include a working hardware-software prototype, a live video feed in your app, basic enclosure, and setup/docs for quick validation with investors. What is the preferred camera sensor and lens configuration for the 4K target, and are there any size/power constraints we must adhere to for the prototype? 1) Do you have a preferred on-device processor or a rough power budget for the prototype? 2) Any constraints on RTSP vs WebRTC preference for the app integration? 3) Is there an existing tracking/zoom API signature we should adopt? 4) Do you require hot-swappable batteries or purely fixed external packs? 5) What is the minimum acceptable latency from capture to a

Hi, This is Elias from Miami. I checked your project description and understand you’re looking to develop a working prototype for a smart camera system. This involves creating both the camera hardware and the mobile application to control it and process video. I have experience working on similar mobile applications and understand the key technical challenges involved, especially with video processing and integration. I’d love to discuss the various aspects of the project and suggest the best technical approach. To clarify a few details, I have a few questions to get a better understanding: Q1 – What specific features do you envision for the mobile app, such as user authentication or video sharing? Q2 – Will the camera have any particular integrations with existing systems, or will it operate independently? Q3 – What platforms are you targeting for the mobile app, iOS, Android, or both? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi there, This is not a typical app build and that’s where we can help — we have a team working across React Native, Android native, and real-time video systems, so handling both app and processing together is something we’re comfortable with. We can take your existing tracking + auto zoom logic and integrate it into a stable pipeline — bringing the RTSP stream into the app, processing frames via native modules, and keeping the output smooth with low latency. We’ll also handle the connectivity setup (STA mode over local network) properly so the camera and app communicate reliably. On the hardware side, we can help suggest a suitable RTSP camera or assist with a basic prototype setup if needed. Once you share your current setup and logic, we can quickly map the integration and move towards a stable demo. We would be good to connect once and align on the approach. Thanks, Rahul A.

Hi there, I have read your project requirement. You need a real-time smart camera prototype system with a React Native Android app, RTSP video integration, tracking + auto zoom functionality, and support for selecting or building suitable camera hardware. We can develop this using React Native for the app layer and native Android modules (Kotlin/C++/NDK) for the performance-critical video pipeline. We will integrate RTSP streaming, optimize real-time frame processing, and ensure smooth tracking with low latency. We can also assist in selecting a compatible camera or building a prototype system using embedded solutions like Raspberry Pi if required. A few quick questions to proceed: =========================== In which language is your current tracking and auto-zoom logic implemented? Do you already have any shortlisted camera hardware or should we suggest options? Is ultra-low latency (<200ms) mandatory for the demo or flexible? Do you need recording/storage functionality or only live streaming? Best Regards, Srashtasoft Team

Hi there, I’ve reviewed Pixie Smart Camera Prototype needs and I propose a practical, fast-start plan to deliver a live, investor-ready prototype. I’ll design a compact, embedded Linux-based camera solution that runs real-time tracking and auto-zoom locally, with video streamed directly to your React Native Android app over a local Wi-Fi network using RTSP/WebRTC. The architecture will be modular to allow quick swaps between a true embedded approach or USB camera + Android host, while keeping cloud-free operation. The app integration will expose a live video feed and basic camera controls, enabling seamless demos and validation. Here’s the approach: select a compact SBC or embedded Linux board, connect a 4K-capable camera, implement the existing tracking and auto-zoom logic to run on-device, and expose a reliable stream to the Android app. I’ll ensure frame access in a low-latency path and avoid network switches or cloud dependencies. A lightweight enclosure and mounting plan will be provided for a clean demo unit. Documentation will cover setup, architecture, and runbooks for quick handoffs. I’ll keep development lean and modular to meet your speed needs and invite you to tweak the approach if a faster path emerges. Develop an insightful question regarding the project to involve the client, tone should be professional and concise. 4-5 important questions you should answer: - What is the exact target form factor and sensor interface for the camera board? - Do you have pre

This project has many moving parts, but I see a clear path to a quick, working prototype. Since you already have tracking and auto zoom logic ready, my focus will be on integrating that smoothly on an embedded Linux system or via a USB camera connected to the Android device—whichever hits your timeline better. For real-time video capture at 2.7K to 4K and 30fps, I’d confirm your preferred hardware options. Will you provide the camera model, or do you want me to source one? Using local Wi-Fi STA mode with RTSP streaming or direct frame access will keep latency low and avoid network switching issues. I’ve done similar integrations where the processing ran on-device without cloud reliance, ensuring stable and fast response in the app. One question: does your existing tracking logic support being ported to native Android code or Linux, or should I wrap it in a compatible service? Also, do you want me to develop the control interface in React Native or just expose video + tracking data for your team? I will prioritize a clean, modular setup with a simple mount and clear docs so you can demo confidently to investors within weeks. Ready to start outlining architecture and hardware options immediately.

Hi A real-time smart camera prototype like Pixie depends on low-latency processing and stable streaming, because the main challenge is running tracking + auto-zoom on-device without introducing lag or connection issues. I can build the prototype using an embedded Linux setup (e.g., Raspberry Pi 5 / Jetson Nano + 4K camera module) to handle video capture, run your tracking logic locally, and stream video via RTSP or WebRTC over local Wi-Fi (STA mode). This ensures no cloud dependency and smooth integration with your React Native Android app. From a technical side, I’ll integrate your existing tracking and zoom logic into the pipeline, optimize frame processing for real-time performance, and expose the stream and controls to your mobile app. I’ll also handle connectivity, power setup (USB-C battery), and provide a basic enclosure/mount for demo readiness. The focus is a stable, demo-ready prototype with clean architecture that can scale into a product. Documentation will cover setup, system design, and integration points. Thanks, Hercules
