Screen Snapshots

Advanced surveillance screen snapshot recording allows you to see not only what your children and employees do on the Mac and Internet, but the EXACT order in which they do it, step by step.

How do Screen Snapshots Work?

To give you a clear picture of what your child or employee is doing on the computer, Spector Pro continually takes snapshots of whatever is on the computer screen. These snapshots can be taken as frequently as once a second, or they may be taken based on user activity, such as clicking the mouse, visiting a new web page or launching a program. This gives you an extremely accurate and visual view of what the person you are monitoring has been doing on the computer. Reviewing the recordings is simple with easy to use video-style controls. Move forward one screen at a time to see step by step what they were doing on the computer, or click "PLAY" and the snapshots play back like a movie. Skip ahead, instantly rewind, jump to a specific date and time or even print individual snapshots.

What will you be able to see?

 * See every web site they visit, but more importantly, you will see EXACTLY what they do on each web site. You will see what they are reading on the web site as well as the pictures they are viewing on that web site and you will be able to see how much time they spend on that web site.
 * See their emails, including web-based emails like Hotmail, AOL email, Gmail, Yahoo mail and hundreds of others.
 * See their chats and instant messages as they are being typed – Spector Pro also saves the entire chat conversation and instant messages for later review.
* See the programs they run and what they type into those applications, such as in word processors, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, games, etc.
 * See what they are searching for on Google, AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Bing and any other sites.
 * See what they are shopping for on sites like eBay, Amazon and any other sites.
 * See everything they are doing on MySpace & Facebook, and find out if they are posting pictures of themselves, or providing their telephone number or address where strangers can gain access.

You simply click on the Chat/IM Activity button, and you will see a list of ALL conversations. Spector Pro is designed to record both sides of a conversation in AOL chat rooms, AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), Google Chat, MSN Messenger, Skype Chat and Yahoo Messenger.

See and Understand Both Sides of the Conversation

Spector Pro records both sides of a conversation allowing you to see what your children or employees are saying as well as how other chat participants respond.

Plus, Spector Pro has a built-in dictionary of thousands of common chat acronyms to decode and display the true meaning of shortcuts that kids use, such as "POS" ... "parent over shoulder", "MIRL" ..."meet in real life", "ASL" ..."age/sex/location".

Keystrokes Typed

Spector Pro includes what many consider to be the BEST key logger available, saving keystrokes by application, by date and time. See exactly what they type on the computer and the Internet... including passwords!

Who, What, When and Where

With Spector Pro, you will know what was typed, where and when it was typed, and you will also know WHO typed it because Spector Pro keeps a record of who is logged into the computer.

CTRL+ALT (Captured!), Passwords (Captured!)

Spector Pro will save every key typed on the PC keyboard. Spector Pro not only captures standard alphanumeric keystrokes, but also records "hidden" characters and keystroke combinations, such as the Shift and Ctrl key, as well as "true" keystrokes which may otherwise appear differently on screen (such as an * when a password is typed).

Navigate Easily Through Recorded Keystrokes

Keystroke recordings are organised chronologically by Application and by Window allowing you to easily differentiate between what is typed in a word processing document, email, spreadsheet, or Internet browser (even passwords). If you are concerned about your child providing phone numbers and addresses to strangers online, then use Spector Pro's search function to locate keystrokes typed and jump to recorded screen images in Screen Snapshots.

Keystrokes Typed Recording Features     * Records ALL Typed Keystrokes     * Records Hidden Characters (like passwords)     * Keystrokes Stored Chronologically by Application     * Records True Keystrokes (like CMD, ALT or the Delete button)

Online Searches

What are your children or employees searching for on Google, AOL, Yahoo, MSN and Bing? And why are they using certain search terms on the Internet? Spector Pro reveals both the words/phrases they searched for and the web sites they visited by clicking on search results.

See What They Search For

Is your teenager researching projects for school, seeking out free music or porn, looking for new friends online or contemplating suicide? Is an employee seeking information on professional growth, considering a job change or being distracted from doing work? Are they daydreaming of a new car, electronic gadget, or movie star?

By seeing BOTH what they looked for and the web sites they subsequently visited, you are able to determine their goal.

Spector Pro is the first product that easily allows you to quickly see exactly what they are searching for on the Internet. In a matter of seconds, you will be able to see what they have been searching for, and whether they search for this only occasionally, or on a daily basis.
 

Online Searches Recording Features     * Records Google, AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Bing, Facebook, Wikipedia, MySpace, Ask,            and many other search engines     * View the Top 10 Searches     * Records how frequently they search for a specific word or phrase     * Records all web sites visited from a search results page

Web Site Activity + Blocking

Spector Pro continually monitors every web page that is accessed on the computer and saves a chronological record for your review. Now you can see not only where they go online, but how long they spend on the web page and how frequently they visit the web site. Plus... built-in Web Site Blocking allows you to prevent access to web sites you deem inappropriate for your children or employees.

It's Like Your Web Browser History on Steroids

The Web Sites Visited recorder is much more sophisticated than the History feature of your web browser, providing you with important details including: Time of Last Visit, Duration of Time on the Web Site, Active Time on Web Site, Total Number of Visits to the Web Site and more!

Block Access To Bad Web Sites

Additionally, you can quickly highlight any recorded web site and choose to block future access with a single click - or - take preventive action and create your own list of web sites to block.

With Spector Pro's advanced and intuitive web site recording, you will get a quick, yet exact picture of each person's web surfing regardless of the web browser they are using.

Email Activity

Spector Pro automatically saves a copy of every email sent or received, with ANY email program, to a hidden location on the computer. Even when they delete their email, Spector Pro will keep a copy for you to review.

Every Detail... Just a Click Away

To review the email recordings, simply click on the Email Activity tab and Spector Pro will list all of the incoming and outgoing emails. See whether the email was sent or received, who sent it, who received it, the subject of the email, and the time and date the email was sent or received.

With a click of a button, all emails can be viewed by Sender, Recipient, Subject and Time/Date. Click on a specific email, and you will see the contents of the email. With Spector Pro, you even have the option of recording email attachments.

It's easy to look at all the emails received on a particular date or all the emails sent to or received from a particular person, all with one or two clicks.

Nowhere to Hide... Spector Pro Records EVERY Email

Spector Pro records email sent and received through popular email programs such as Outlook Express, AOL, Microsoft Office, Mozilla Thunderbird and other POP/SMTP email clients. In addition, Spector Pro is the ONLY program available that will capture Internet-based email services such as AOL mail, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail, MySpace, Facebook and more.

Program Activity

Spector Pro provides the ability to record every program (or application) run on the computer you are monitoring. Find out if your kids are playing games when they are supposed to be doing their homework. See if your employees are using that expensive office software or just surfing the Internet.

Are They Working Hard or Hardly Working?

For each program, Spector Pro will capture the name of the person who used the program, when the program was started and how long the program was running.

In addition, Spector Pro will provide even more useful information, such as how much time the program was ACTIVELY used. Were your kids playing games all afternoon instead of doing homework? Was a program simply opened and left on-screen, an indication someone might be trying to deceive you into thinking they were working all day in Word and Excel (when they were really surfing the web)?

With Spector Pro, you will know, because Spector Pro keeps track of other information, such as keystrokes typed and mouse movements, to help determine whether a program is being actively used. Spector Pro also shows you EXACTLY how many keystrokes have been typed in each application. If your administrative assistant typed only 80 keystrokes in Word or Excel all day, what are the chances they were doing much work? Of course, with Spector Pro's other recording features, like Screen Snapshots, you won't have to guess.

Identify Programs Affecting Computer Performance

Program Activity allows you to see at a glance ALL of the applications that have been used each day. If someone downloads a new program that starts affecting the performance of your computer, you'll be able to quickly see the new program in Spector Pro.

Keywords Detected

Spector Pro takes an active role in protecting your kids or employees with powerful Keyword Alerts. You simply create a list of "on alert" key words or phrases and Spector Pro does the rest. If any of your keywords are detected (in keyboard typing, URLs, web pages, emails, chat or instant messages), then Spector Pro will immediately send you an email Alert to warn of potential danger.

WARNING : WARNING

Each keyword alert contains the following information:

    * The keyword that was detected
    * The time the keyword was detected
    * The current user logged in to Windows
    * Additional detailed information (Example: the URL where the keyword was found)

Set It and Forget It

You tell Spector Pro which words and phrases to watch out for - for example, "sex," "drugs," "guns," "phone number," "where do you live," "are your parents home," "I hate my boss" - whatever YOU decide to include. You also tell Spector Pro where to send the INSTANT ALERTS ... to your email address ... at the office or on your cell phone.

Then, when the person using the computer TYPES in one of these words or phrases, or when they are chatting and one of these words comes up, or when they are sending or receiving an email with one of these words or phrases, Spector Pro responds IMMEDIATELY and sends you an email letting you know exactly what is happening so you can take action.
 

Keywords Detected Recording Features     * Quickly Add Keywords/Phrases to Monitor     * Increased Screen Snapshot Frequency upon Keyword Detection     * Works in Conjunction with Screen Snapshots, Chat/IM, Web Site, Email, and Keystroke Recordings     * Instant Email Alerts upon Detection of Keyword/Phrase     * View the Top 10 Detected Keywords

Do you want your company servers harbouring stolen music, pornography or pirated software?
