Adapters for Legacy Devices

Native API control for every device in your fleet.

One short remote session per device model. A finished adapter comes back. The fleet you already run then answers RemoteGenius like any other device on the platform.

Expose a web interface and RemoteGenius can drive the device. Vendor, age, documented API or not — none of it matters.

  • Any IP-enabled device with a web UI
  • Whatever it returns — JSON, XML, INI, key/value
  • Integration that ran for weeks now runs in hours
  • Destructive calls locked out by default

You already own the fleet. Integration is what stops you using it.

Most operators run device estates assembled over years — a dozen vendors, mixed firmware generations, no two control surfaces alike. Unified remote control runs into three walls:

01

Undocumented vendor APIs

The HTTP interface is there. The documentation is absent, partial, or in the wrong language. Engineers reverse-engineer it one endpoint at a time.

02

Multi-week per-device builds

Hand-writing one adapter means discovering endpoints, naming parameters, validating responses. Days to weeks per model.

03

No fleet-wide automation

Each model speaks its own dialect. You end up with a tab open per device, and a script that works for one vendor breaks on the next.

Three steps. A few hours. A finished adapter.

Generate a complete adapter for any IP-enabled device with a web interface. Drop it into your RemoteGenius cluster. The device then behaves like everything else on the platform.

  1. 01

    Grant brief access

    Point us at one device of each model, with a short window of network reachability. No firmware changes. Nothing installed on the device itself.

  2. 02

    Adapter generation

    The device’s own web interface is the documentation. Endpoints get mapped, parameters named, responses validated through read-only probes. Out comes a complete adapter and an operator UI.

  3. 03

    Native control, fleet-wide

    Deploy the adapter to your cluster. Every device of that model is now reachable through the one RemoteGenius API and dashboard — same shape, same controls, same audit trail as anything else you run.

Weeks of per-vendor integration collapse to an afternoon of supervised work.

Discovery is read-only. Destruction stays locked.

Production devices are not where we learn lessons. Adapter generation treats your hardware that way.

Allowed during discovery
  • GET Read-only GETs against status, config, and inventory endpoints
  • GET Mirroring the device’s own web assets — HTML, JavaScript, static config
  • GET Mapping vendor responses to canonical RemoteGenius parameter names
  • GET Enumerating supported options, units, and value ranges
Locked out by default
  • LOCK Reboot, reset, and factory-restore endpoints
  • LOCK Firmware upload and configuration writes
  • LOCK Debug shells, file deletion, any flagged destructive verb
  • LOCK Anything marked unsafe stays behind explicit operator authorisation

Every flagged endpoint lands in the adapter manifest. Acting on one is an explicit operator decision, never a default.

If it answers HTTP, we can adapt it.

No vendor allowlist. The pipeline takes whatever protocol the device speaks, in whatever format it hands back.

Full vendor documentation or none at all, the process runs the same.

One API. One UI. The whole fleet.

Once an adapter exists for a model, every device of that model is normalised and behaves like every other device in RemoteGenius. The NOC stops needing to know the vendor.

Unified API

Every device — encoder, camera, gateway — answers the same RemoteGenius endpoints. Write the automation once; it runs across the fleet.

Unified dashboard

Operators work every model from the same UI, with the same controls and the same naming.

No vendor lock-in

A new vendor or model is another short generation cycle. Not an architecture decision.

Audit-ready

Every device action goes through the same authentication, RBAC, and audit trail, whatever the underlying vendor.

Send us a device. Get an adapter back.

IP-enabled devices sitting without native integration become RemoteGenius citizens. Most generation cycles finish inside a single working session.
