Cedar Electronics
Cedar Electronics features several prominent aftermarket automotive brands, including Cobra, Escort, and Snooper. Their product range includes dash cams, CB radios, and walkie-talkies. The company faced the challenge of developing a software layer for their hardware, enabling users to access and utilize the data generated by these devices on mobile phones or the web. This initiative marked a significant shift for Cedar, transitioning from merely selling hardware to offering software solutions integrated with their products. KeenEye was instrumental in creating this cloud-based layer, as well as the web and mobile interfaces, allowing users to clip and annotate videos from their dash cams and send them to insurance companies or authorities in the event of an accident. This enhancement made the hardware significantly more functional, as previously, users had to manually download content and upload it to a PC. The solution devised by KeenEye empowered users to manage multiple accounts and access their content directly from their smartphones. Built on AWS and utilizing a NodeJS backend and ReactJS frontend, along with native iOS and Android applications for mobile, KeenEye collaborated closely with manufacturers in China and Korea to ensure seamless synchronization of the hardware and software.
