Dual-View 4G Dashcam Design

I’m putting together a compact dual-camera dashcam that can watch the road and simultaneously monitor the driver. I already have the product vision and feature set defined; now I need an embedded systems specialist who can turn it into working hardware and firmware.

Core functionality
• Two SD-resolution image sensors, one road-facing and one cabin-facing
• Live video uplink over 4G/LTE plus on-device recording to a removable SD card
• GPS receiver for continuous tracking and metadata stamping
• Integrated motion sensing and true impact detection, so an on-board accelerometer must trigger and flag critical events even when the car is parked
• Clean vehicle-grade power input and automatic power-down logic to protect the battery

Scope of work
1. Component selection: image sensors, SoC/MCU (ARM, RISC-V, or similar), 4G modem, GPS, IMU, power management, and thermal considerations.
2. Custom PCB design and layout, followed by manufacturing files ready for a quick-turn proto run.
3. Low-level firmware to handle sensor pipelines, H.264/H.265 encoding, LTE networking, GNSS, SD-card file management, and event-based recording (FreeRTOS or bare-metal is acceptable).
4. Assembly of at least one fully functional prototype with enclosure recommendations.
5. Bench and in-vehicle tests validating video quality, streaming stability, GPS accuracy, and motion/impact triggers.

Deliverables
• Complete schematics, BOM, and Gerber/ODB++ files
• Compiled firmware, source code, and build instructions
• Test report detailing pass/fail criteria for video, connectivity, GPS, and impact events
• Short demo clip or live link proving 4G streaming in-car

I’m leaving cloud portal development for a later phase, so the current engagement is 100 % focused on the physical device and its onboard software. If you’ve shipped camera or telematics hardware before and can run quick iterations from concept to road-ready prototype, let’s talk.
