What does TetherX connect to?
TetherX integrates with 3 primary product categories:
Video Surveillance - including cameras, recorders, PTZ, 2-way audio, horn speakers and more ranging from legacy devices from the 90s and 00s including most of the latest AI cameras.
Alarm Panels - including legacy alarm panels requiring a serial connection or more modern panels with either a local RESTful interface as well as cloud providers.
Access Control - including connecting to existing access control systems (such as Paxton Net2) or connecting to access control units directly, for example Hikvision Face Station.
We also integrate with other enabling device categories including but not limited to:
Managed Switches & Wireless Bridges - We use SNMP as well as some API integration to track wireless signal strength, to remotely power cycle ports and more.
Relays & Sensors - IP relay/sensor boards for applications such as parking automation.
Serial Devices - We can open serial connections and consume data from just about any serial device, please contact us for more details.
Matrix Displays - Usually for an ANPR application.
e.g. Spectra Displays - SDHX, HX & HXE Sign Protocol (over Serial & IP)
IoT Devices - We are compatible with IoT devices through our API and our roadmap for 2022 includes integration with IFTTT.
Please note some of the cheaper USB modems may have reliability problems.Network Interfaces - Whether you use a server with multiple network interfaces, or connect a separate USB network interface such as the TP-Link UE300, the TetherBox software supports automatic Internet failover and isolated networks.
Other - If there is a commercial application, we may be open to integrating your device into TetherX.

Please get in touch with us on support@tetherit.io if you have an alarm panel not listed that you would like us to integrate.
Cellular/Mobile Connectivity
3G/4G/5G Routers - we are compatible with all routers, an example of a popular 4G/LTE router is the Teltonika RUT200.
USB Modems - we work with most USB 3G/4G/5G modems, as long as they are compatible with Linux. For example a good QMI based modem is the Teltonika TRM250 4G LTE-M USB.
API Integration
You can use our API to push information or pull information to/from the TetherX. Please refer to our API documentation: https://my.timeline.is/api/index
For example, you can create your own logic to send an http request for a fire alarm that can be processed by TetherX.
Alarm Centre Integration
TetherX is compatible with most alarm receiving software including IMMIX, Sentinel, HikCentral, CONXTD and others. You can find more details here: https://intercom.help/tether-io/en/articles/5195112-how-to-set-up-tether-to-report-to-sentinel-or-immix
