Net Spy Pro Network Monitoring Details

Network Monitoring has two different type of features. The first type is that of live monitoring. Certain functions can be performed live to instantly "check-up" on a user. The second type of monitoring is logged monitoring. The Logged monitoring type captures specific activity and stores it on the server for later viewing

1.   Live Monitoring

Net Spy Pro can perform certain functions that allow a supervisor to check-in on a user to see if they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. For instance you can simultaneously view user desktops to see what they are doing at that instant. This feature automatically refreshes itself every few seconds. This allows the supervisor to effectively watch all users' actions in real-time. See below for a complete list of Net Spy Pro live monitoring functions:-
View Real Time Screens and Status
Net Spy Pro allows the administrator to view an actual screenshot of one, some or all workstations instantly! This is used for live surveillance to see if they are working or playing. You can even send a user a message to get back to work!

View Temporary Histories
Net Spy Pro will show you a list of all files in the temporary history (cache) of the Internet Explorer browser. This allows the administrator to check up on employee's activity from before they purchased NSP.

2.   Logged Monitoring

After installing Net Spy Pro onto a network, it immediately begins to record all activity on client PCs. Activity such as emails, web sites, chat conversations and much more is recorded. Net Spy Pro secretly records the activity for later viewing by the administrator.

When an administrator wants to view the activity of a client PC, they login to their all-in-one hidden control panel. This control panel allows them to view all of the activity logs recorded for any PC by date and time. It is the same control panel which houses all of Net Spy Pro's other functions.

Logs can be exported for storage and are standard JPG images and text files. Logs can be printed from within the interface. See below for a complete list of what Net Spy Pro records:-
Web Sites Visited
Net Spy Pro creates a list of web sites visited in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and other popular browsers. Each URL visited will be logged, along with the username, timestamp and the title of the page visited. URLs can be launched from within the viewer
