A solution designed to bring advanced drone surveillance capabilities directly to property owners, overcoming complex technical challenges and tight deadlines.

The challenge

The primary objective was to develop a sophisticated mobile application that could seamlessly interact with a cloud-based drone control flight system. This presented a significant technical hurdle, requiring robust and reliable communication between the app and the complex aerial system. 

Adding to this complexity was a challenging implementation deadline, demanding rapid development and deployment without compromising quality or functionality. The core challenge was to bridge the gap between advanced drone technology and user-friendly mobile access for real-time security monitoring.

The solution

The Mihalcon app, developed for both iOS and Android, provides property owners with unprecedented control and visibility over their security. The solution directly addressed the project's ambitious goals:

• Real-time interaction with cloud flight systems: The application was engineered to directly interact with the drone control flight system in the cloud, enabling the seamless invocation and management of drone surveillance services. This robust backend integration forms the foundation of the app's core functionality.
• Instant alerts and live monitoring: Property owners can now receive immediate alerts and actively monitor their property whenever a drone service is invoked for surveillance. This feature delivers instant awareness and enhances peace of mind regarding property security.
• Near real-time visual access: A critical deliverable was the ability for property owners to view videos and images of their property in near real-time. This provides crucial visual information, enabling immediate assessment of any security situations or property conditions.
• Cross-platform accessibility: By being available on both iOS and Android platforms, the Mihalcon app ensures broad accessibility, empowering a wide range of property owners to utilize this advanced security solution regardless of their preferred mobile device.

The development of the Mihalcon app showcases how a complex solution was delivered under demanding conditions, successfully integrating cutting-edge drone technology with an intuitive mobile experience for enhanced property security.
