I just tested a serial to IP device that I had lying around and it works fine for serial data.
that would be another method of transporting serial data over wired or wireless IP. so you can control it from over the Internet as well.

I'm adding the USB bridge as I wanted to interface the cameras as well.

I will test the USB to IP bridge and let you know.

did you test the USB bridge with a usb to serial device inline? if you use just the usb bridge, it won't work.
also depends on the usb to serial device. some of the ones on ebay are not reliable. i have a prolific device and one other, both work fine.

I work in IT so have a few workarounds for common issues. happy to help if needed.
