Built & shipped a 2-app CCTV monitoring system in 1 week using Flutter + Firebase
Recently completed a freelance project I landed through Reddit.
Built:
• Admin App for operators
• Client App for customers
Tech stack:
- Flutter
- Firebase
- Cloud Functions
- Google Cloud Tasks
One interesting challenge was auto-scheduling camera monitoring sessions.
Initially tried cron jobs and periodic checks, but they caused unnecessary Firestore reads and would eventually exceed Firebase free-tier limits.
So I integrated Google Cloud Tasks instead:
- Tasks run at exact timestamps
- Old tasks auto-cancel if schedules change
- No polling
- Minimal reads
- Better scalability and cost efficiency
The complete system went from requirements to production-ready in about a week.
Right now only deployment is remaining. Since this is an internal/private business app and not meant for public users, the apps won’t be publicly searchable on the App Store. They’ll be distributed privately via direct invite/link access only.
I mainly build rapid MVPs using Flutter + Firebase, and for more complex scalable systems I also work with Node.js backend architectures.
Currently open to 1–2 more direct client projects:
- MVP apps
- SaaS platforms
- Internal business tools
- Real-time systems
- Admin/client architectures
