Need good parental software with remote access……

[Replies: 31]
Hi everyone, Recently, I was tensed to see my kid visiting the sites that he shouldn’t have. I do know that there are certain parental control software that can act as good watchdogs, but I need a one that can help me to view the things that my kid is doing at home. Its good to have a look at whats going on….if he is really accessing those sites or they are just by chance….!!!

Please do tell me if you have a solution to this…its really getting on my nerves!!!

At work, we use this monitoring software to track the work hours and computer activity of our employees.

I don't know if that will suffice but I think that should be a good alternative for your monitoring needs.

Parental control is very useful in terms of monitoring activities of kids. Using this monitoring software it can result to kid’s privacy issues. For some monitoring software are very intrusive for monitoring without the knowledge of the person who is being monitor. In our company we also use employee monitoring software but we believe that employee using time tracking software should also be fully aware of what is monitored and when they are being monitored. In this way privacy issues can be prevent. I also read an article that is also an alternative for a good parental control. Also you should let your kid's know that they are being monitor and explain why you should do it in order to be understood by your kids and also the software will work properly.

There are a 2 remote monitoring options I can think of:

1. Data/Report can be saved on a remote server which you can access using a predefined password. Advantage: You are not "wasting" disk space on your computer, Disadvantage: I guess privacy level is lower.

2. Data/Report can be send to you by email. Advantage: High level of privacy and security, Disadvantage: Reports/Data is split into reports with size limit (depends on your mail provider, probably around 15MB)
There are not many monitoring software in the market that provide you with an email report, I'm familiar only with SilentMonitoring.

What do you mean by "remote'? Technically speaking, parental control software only works if the monitor controller and the monitored computer in the same LAN, which indicates "at home" or "in the same office". However, if you want to monitor your kid's online activities at home while you work in the company, i think, you have to set the VPN and configure the router correctly.

Hope this can be helpful to you.:^O

Yeah, in the light of your problems, Amac keylogger for mac may be another good choice. My friends used it and it worked not bad.

Good question.
There are dozens of nice programs. I am using Time Boss parental control software
It is good and flexible, but I am not sure about, what you call remote access. Do you want to change the settings from a remote computer (for example, from work)? If yes, you will also need to create something like remote desktop, I guess, which is not related to parental control. And anyway, you will not be able to use ANY remote computer.

An old topic, but but there are still so many people replying to it.
Sure there are many kinds of software for you to monitor your children.
If you are on a PC, have a try for this remote mac keylogger.
If you are on a PC, give it a go for this remote desktop spy.
Good luck for you.

Hi!

A good internet parental control software would be Mypornblocker. I think this is the best available today.
This internet filtering software would help you know if your child have visited those sites because this software keeps a log of all sites visited. Also, most importantly, this software blocks all kinds of explicit content sites, especially porn.

here is the link http://www.blockinginternetaccess.com/product.php

Hope this helps :)

this site requires the login and password...

And I still would like to say about TrafficWasher one more time. I hope you'll not remove my message now :)

This program has the remote access to the settings and reports. And moreover, it can send out the reports to your email.

Hi Cornelius -

I recommend a web safety application that sends a text message alert to your cell phone and a detailed email to your computer whenever a dangerous or inappropriate event happens on either your child's computer or cell phone.

Most parents believe that they know what's going on with their kids but very few people really understand the extent of dangers their children face every day. That's why I wrote the "Parent's Guide to the CyberWorld of Children."

It's available at no cost at www.LessStress4parents.com

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
