SentryPC Features

Access Anywhere; Anytime

Access your secure account from anywhere in the world! Use your Internet-enabled device to log in to your account, view collected logs and change your settings. Your account is updated in real time. Any any configuration changes you make to specific computers, users or globally will be processed immediately.

Real Time Activity Viewing

The beauty of SentryPC is you'll get an online account that updates in real time, as the activities happen. View keystrokes, websites, software, chats, gaming and much more. If people are wasting time on company time, you will know about it instantly.

Any content filtering or time management changes the administrator makes will be applied to any and all affected computers on the network, in real time.

Centralized Management

Unlike most employee monitoring software solutions, SentryPC allows you to view all computers and users at once, instead of needing to view data one PC at a time. Easily search, sort and filter the results however you wish. We've made it a breeze to view logs and manage settings for an unlimited number or computers.

Top Usage Reports

Our top usage reports will provide you with a quick overview of various activities and usage within your account. As an example, use the application report to get a listing of the most used software, sorted by user. This report will also show you how many times the software was accessed and the complete duration. Besides this report, you'll also have access to a user overview, alerts, applications, chats, events, files, keystrokes, locations, print job activity, sessions, websites and windows opened.

Alert Notifications By Email

When your employees trigger an alert that you configure, you can have SentryPC automatically, but optionally, send you an email whenever that event happens. When something like an application is launched that you want blocked, a chat session occurs, a keyword is typed or a website is visited, you can have SentryPC alert you instantly in email and also set the email frequency, for each user.

Application Filtering

Filter any software application or game for any staff member in your network. Select what hours on what days certain activities are allowed or blocked.

Chat Filtering

Block or filter many of the most popular chat applications available. We support AIM, AOL, Excite, gTalk, ICQ, mIRC, MySpace IM, Odigo, Skype, Trillian, XFire and Yahoo.

Security Options

Use our security options to enable or disable access to various activities by your employees. We support the ability to disable the computer entirely, disable boot keys, clipboard, clock, control panel, external drives, log off, mouse, network, run, start menu, start menu change, shutdown, taskbar and task manager.

Keyword & Phrase Filtering

Are there certain words or phrases that you don't want your employees typing or searching? Use SentryPC's keyword and phrase filtering settings to trigger an instant window closure event. Use this to prevent confidential information sharing through email, websites or any other form of Internet communication.

Website Filtering Rules

By Category: The easiest way to filter websites with SentryPC is to use our category filtering options. You will be able to block or filter websites by the category for your entire network or for specific problematic users if needed. We currently support the following categories: adult, dating, drugs, file sharing, gambling, gaming, porn, profane, racism, sensitivity, sex, shopping, social, and weapons.

By User-Defined: In addition to category filtering, you can also specify your own website URLs to allow or block during specific hours of each day of the week. As an example, if you only want your employees to have access to your company URLs for documentation purposes, set those URLs as allowed and block the rest.

Remote Deployment & Install

Once you log in to your SentryPC account for the first time, head to the account panel and choose your installation options (including a silent no-confirmation option) to create your setup file. Once done, choose from three options to install SentryPC on your corporate / business network. These options include:

• Email Deployment - Send the file by email to the remote computer(s). Execute the setup file and the installation will occur silently (optional) with no confirmations, dialogs or anything else required.
  
• LAN / Network Deployment - Easily deploy SentryPC over a network through network shares or logon scripts.
• Physical Deployment - Physically install the software by executing the setup file on each computer you want to monitor.

Remote Uninstall

Uninstall SentryPC Business remotely through your online account from any Internet-connected device with a web browser. Just select the computer and click uninstall.

Complete Stealth Operation

SentryPC is designed to be invisible and secure on your network. SentryPC uses minimal computer processing cycles to minimize performance-related detection by your staff. All configuration changes happen via the online account without user prompts or any sort of notification (unless intended).

SentryPC will remain hidden and will not reveal itself including on the desktop, the Program Files folder or the Task Manager. For true stealth operation, disable any user alerts options and there will be zero prompts that will occur to tip off an employee that monitoring software is in use. Or, be completely transparent and notify users on every log on that their activities are being recorded. It's all up to you!

Cloaked Installation

The installation module that is executed on your corporate computer will install a copy of itself that is completely hidden to your employees so that it can't be removed or tampered with. Once you run the setup file, simply discard or delete the setup without affected the installation process. This makes physical deployment easy with a basic USB thumb drive with your SentryPC setup file on it.
