Reverse Engineer DDPAI Dash Cam Firmware

10 Oct 2019

I have been looking for a good mid range Dash cam for my car. I was thinking to integrate this to my custom build infotainment system. For this, there need to be some option to get live stream. I bought this DDPAI Mini Car Dash Camera from Amazon Link (Official site Link), but I was not sure whether I can access the live stream or not. The product looks good, companion app works smooth also, and there is live stream in the app. My goal was to figure out a way to get live stream so that I can use it in my program. May be have a look at it’s firmware and do some little hack if possible.

Raspberry pi based Car Infotainment system

11 Mar 2018

Out in the market, there are a handful of car infotainment systems that you can buy for 10 to 30k INR. But nothing beats the thrill of making one from scratch and put it on your own car. So this is my effort to make one from the scratch.

Warehouse Management System using Drones

21 Oct 2016

This is a project I had completed while doing internship at EY. The idea is to automate inventory and the stock checking process without any human intervention. Today these are all done using human resource. This is a really tiresome work because it involves manually inspecting each pallet (box) and read the QR/Bar code associated with it.

Smart Room :-) | Wireless controlled appliances

27 Jan 2016

If you are a geek, then you definitely want to mess with everything to create something cool out of it. What about controlling all of your appliances from your computer or from your smart phone wirelessly? Set timer for light when you go to sleep; autonomously switch your fan on when temperature exceeds; and when you are too lazy to get up from your bed to switch fan/light off. All you need is an ESP8266 with a couple of other components that cost <10$.
