Development and Ongoing Support of a Mobile IoT Video Intercom App for Residential Complexes
Real EstateA case study of designing and evolving a mobile video intercom and smart home app: video calls, live camera feeds, and remote access combined into a single IoT ecosystem for residents.
Project Overview
Smart Home / IoT / Video Intercom • iOS, Android + Corporate Website • Support and Product Evolution
Project type: a mobile app for residents and a corporate website for the company.
Format: Mobile (iOS / Android) — video intercom, cameras, and service management; Web — a marketing website with an admin panel built on WordPress.
Team role: implementation of new features, support for the mobile app and website, library updates, UI/UX improvements, integrations, and bug fixing.
Project Context
The mobile app is designed for residents of buildings connected to Rupromstroy’s video intercom and video surveillance systems.
Through the app, users can accept video calls from the intercom, see visitors in real time, unlock the door remotely, take snapshots or record the screen, view live camera feeds, manage connected services, and contact support through a built-in form.
In parallel, the corporate website rupromstroy.ru is also maintained as the company’s digital storefront, featuring service descriptions, case studies, and contact information. The site is regularly updated and improved within a WordPress ecosystem.
Business Goal
To create and maintain a convenient digital interface between residents and smart home IoT infrastructure, ensuring stable operation of key user scenarios while supporting long-term product growth.
Project goals:
- Ensure reliable video intercom call functionality
- Maintain compatibility with new iOS and Android versions
- Implement new features based on client requests
- Improve user interface and UX
- Synchronize the mobile app with the company’s services
- Support and evolve the corporate website
Core Mobile App Functionality
Video Intercom Call (core feature)
When someone rings the intercom, the user receives an incoming call in the app with a real-time video stream from the camera. The user can answer the call, unlock the door remotely, take a snapshot or record the screen, or decline the call. This is the app’s primary user scenario.
Video Surveillance Cameras
- List of available cameras by address
- Real-time video stream viewing
- Full-screen mode
User Profile
User data, list of connected services, account management, and sign-out.
Services
IP intercom, live cameras, keyless access, and links to the company website for detailed service descriptions.
Support
Built-in support request form with issue type selection, file upload, and user comments.
