- 1) Disclaimer and Licensing
- ----------------------------
-
- This program is supplied with no guarantees of any kind and must be used at your
- own risk. You may not re-sell (unless authorised) or reverse-engineer this software.
- The author reserves himself any rights that are not stated in this document.

- 2) Omniquad Desktop Surveillance - a versatile tool for peace of mind
-
- Omniquad Desktop Surveillance offers a unique approach to the problem of
- access control, prevention of, or investigation into, use/misuse of computer equipment
- and software. 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.
