Swing-WS is a Research and Development company which is making the Home Alarm System sold by the biggest Home Alarm Company of France : EPS (more than 300 000 subscribers).
During this period of time, their main goal was to integrate a new device into their Alarm System: IP Cameras. I was already working for them via the Services Company ‘Sogeti High Tech’, but they decided to hire me directly without intermediary, to work permanently for them.
Our main work was to design and implement a multi-core Camera server to manage ip cameras connections and a streaming server to enable subscribers to make streaming on their cameras via Smart Phone. All this work had to be integrated in the existing alarm System without disturbing anything (Installation Software, Process, Alarm event, Web Services, etc…). Writing documentations was an important part of the job to enable others teams (website dev) to call our server.
This Work is now finished and we are actually working on new device which is called “Video Access Point”. It’s a small computer installed at subscriber’s home or office, which record 24/24 7/7 the video coming from cameras. Our work was to find a PC Hardware which is able to do that with minimal cost and to make the software running on it. All of this had to be integrated to the previous video service to access cameras connected to Video Access point like standard cameras.

Current job : Motion Detection in video files recorded by the Video Access Point to generate a xml file with dates of motion. This xml file will be used by the video web player to jump directly to the times where motions are. This work is made with C++ and the Computer Vision API : OpenCV.
