Instead of merely obstructing the user's actions, one of the oldest prevention methods known - the prospect of being watched and 'found out' - is applied. The program is the software equivalent of a surveillance camera and works by recording desktop activity. Yet it may operate in two modes; either by displaying warning signs in order to discourage misuse, or as secretly monitoring activity. While the application can store days of recordings, the settings can be tailored virtually for any situation. For example, recording can be activated at certain chosen times only, when running specified applications or on log-on to the Internet. This program is the only tool available to address not only the issues of web browsing but also newsgroups and IRC at the same time. The program recording can be activated as soon as you visit certain WWW sites or specific IRC channels. Desktop Surveillance can also be remotely controlled, either via local network or the Internet, and in both cases it is possible to remotely observe activity on the local desktop in real time. The program can be applied in a manifold of situations - for example to discourage employees in your office from visiting certain WWW sites, doing anything else they are not supposed to do, or maybe to secretly find out what your PC is being used for in your absence.
