Overview

Built two internal real-time monitoring platforms for a Singapore government security department to monitor nearly 10,000 CCTV cameras. The systems supported approximately 50 concurrent operators within a secure VPN-based private network and were designed for continuous 24/7 operations.

Tech Stack

The Problem

Centralized monitoring for thousands of cameras with reliable live streaming (10–20 seconds operational latency), historical playback with precise timeline control, secure multi-role access control, incident bookmarking and snapshot extraction, and report generation for internal operations.

Key Engineering Contributions

• Developed a custom video player with play, pause, rewind, forward, playback speed control, and seekbar.
• Implemented timeline-based trimming and bookmarking.
• Built role-based access control (User, Super User, Admin) with backend enforcement.
• Integrated geospatial visualization with Mapbox for camera navigation.
• Implemented searchable, filterable tables with pagination and lazy loading.
• Enabled white-label branding using cookie-based theme configuration.
• Generated operational reports with exportable PDFs.

Impact

• Centralized monitoring of nearly 10,000 cameras.
• Improved investigation efficiency through custom playback and bookmarking tools.
• Enhanced operational visibility with a real-time geospatial interface.
• Delivered a stable platform for continuous 24/7 internal government operations.
