# Remote Management

Deploy, monitor, and update OAK devices without touching the edge hardware. Remote management spans app distribution, live
telemetry/streams, and OTA updates - keeping fleets healthy while reducing on-site trips.

OAK4 devices ship with [oakctl](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/oak-apps/oakctl.md) and
[oak-agent](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/oak-apps/oakctl.md) for command-line support of over-the-air updates, app
lifecycle management, and Hub integration - ideal for scaling fleets securely and implementing automation.

Stream camera feed remotely and control through [Luxonis Hub](https://docs.luxonis.com/cloud/hub.md)
([hub.luxonis.com](https://hub.luxonis.com/)) where you can take advantage of advanced
[features](https://docs.luxonis.com/cloud/features.md) such as [managing
devices](https://docs.luxonis.com/cloud/features/device-management.md) and
[Apps](https://docs.luxonis.com/cloud/features/application-management/manage-applications.md), visualize pipelines, [OTA
updates](https://docs.luxonis.com/cloud/features/device-management/ota-updates.md), collect data from afar with
[Snaps](https://docs.luxonis.com/cloud/features/event-storage/snaps.md). Integrate Luxonis Hub directly into your platform using
[APIs](https://docs.luxonis.com/cloud/api.md).

## Fleet resilience

 * OTA OS/device updates via [oakctl](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/oak-apps/oakctl.md) and [Hub OTA
   updates](https://docs.luxonis.com/cloud/features/device-management/ota-updates.md) keep firmware and agents up to date.
 * Remote app lifecycle: build, install, start/stop, and log containerized apps with [OAK app base
   image](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/oak-apps/base-image.md) and
   [config](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/oak-apps/configuration.md). Make sure you follow [firewall and network
   recommendations](https://docs.luxonis.com/cloud/advanced/firewall-network.md) for smoothest performance.
 * Secure access: leverage Hub tokens and [API key best
   practices](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/oak-apps/apikey-good-practices.md); SSH stays disabled by default on newer
   Luxonis OS builds.

## Typical use cases

 1. Fleet updates: list devices, schedule [Luxonis OS](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/sw-stack/luxonis-os.md) updates, and
    reboot or flash from oakctl.
 2. App rollout: package your pipeline as an OAK app, push via Hub, then start/enable it on a fleet with logs streamed back.
 3. Remote visualization: stream camera, depth, and AI overlays through [OAK
    Viewer](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/depthai/tools/oak-viewer.md) or [OAK
    Visualizer](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/depthai/tools/oak-visualizer.md) to validate deployments without physical
    access.
