During my internship, I had the opportunity to work with various commercial networking, firewall, CCTV, and Wi-Fi devices from companies like Cisco, Netgear, Tplink, Ruijie, Reyee, Aruba, Ubiquiti, Fortinet, Dahua, HiVision, WiseNet, and more. Additionally, the company utilized single-board computers such as Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, and Banana Pi to develop their own products. I will provide an overview of these devices as I discuss my experience working with them.
