Retina-X Studios is the manufacturer of our fourth ranking monitoring software SniperSpy. The company implements cutting-edge programming techniques and strives to provide innovative surveillance software solutions to their customers. SniperSpy is legal remote spy software. Retina-X Studios does not support, sanction or encourage the use of SniperSpy for illegal purposes.
SniperSpy comes loaded with numerous robust and customizable surveillance features. The installation of the app is fast and uncomplicated. Even beginning computer users can deploy the surveillance software with no difficulty. The spy software walks the computer administrator through the app's installation. Setup includes the generation of an executable module where the computer admin chooses basic monitoring settings. Options include alerting all users of their monitored status or running the app in stealth (hidden) mode.
Deployment of the app can occur remotely via an email attachment or by physically accessing the target computer. Clicking on the generated executable module starts the silent installation of the monitoring software. Once installation is complete, the computer administrator can remotely spy on the monitored-computer from any internet-connected PC.
SniperSpy's web-based user interface makes removing the monitoring software is a straightforward task. Once uninstalled, the computer surveillance process ends and no remnant of the spy software can load into the PC's operating system.
SniperSpy monitoring software captures and logs all visited websites, online searches, social networking activities, the viewing of web-based pornography, online gambling and gaming activities. Supported browsers include Internet Explorer and Firefox.
The app's keylogger can log and store account IDs, usernames, passwords, online shopping and banking transactions. It is regrettable that the monitoring software cannot capture the contents of email correspondences that occur via POP3 clients and webmail. However, this omission is somewhat overcome by the app's robust keylogger and screenshot components. With the combination of these features, the surveillance software can record sent email. The screenshot feature can also capture snapshots of MySpace, Facebook, webmail and video chat.
Also absent from this otherwise outstanding software is the ability to track email attachments and their contents. Perhaps in future version releases Retina-X Studios will consider including these missing capabilities.
The monitoring software has powerful chat monitoring capabilities. SniperSpy can capture both sides of chat and IM conversations. Supported clients include Google Talk, Yahoo IM, Windows Live and more.
Elevating SniperSpy past the majority of the monitoring software competition is the app's advanced and innovative PC surveillance and remote administration capabilities. SniperSpy's web-based LIVE Control Panel gives the PC admin the power to issue remote commands that can restart the monitored computer, freeze the user's mouse or log the user off the machine. The monitoring software's LIVE Control Panel also comes equipped with a Real Time Screen Viewer. With this feature, the computer admin can watch the remote PC's display as if it were a television. Other remote PC monitoring capabilities include the ability to view active processes, file browsing, file searching and viewing launched applications.
The monitoring software's capability of sending a discreet message from the computer owner to the monitored user is very practical. This feature can prove extremely useful for parents who desire to warn or discipline their children for questionable online activities.
A feature seldom seen in other surveillance software is the ability to perform IP location mapping. PC owners can learn the geographical location of their laptops. This feature is extremely helpful for owners who have traveling family members or children who are away at school. It can also help when attempting to recover a stolen machine.
Designed only for remote computer monitoring, SniperSpy does not have filtering and blocking capabilities. SniperSpy excels at gathering data regarding a user's online activities. Computer administrators cannot prevent monitored users from engaging in questionable PC and online activities.
Perhaps Retina-X Studios will integrate some type of filtering and blocking capabilities in a future version release of SniperSpy. If this occurs, the spy software could surpass and overwhelm all of the competition in our review of monitoring software. At present, users must settle for SniperSpy's excellence as a pure computer monitoring solution.
SniperSpy's web-based user interface implements a secure https connection for the viewing of all collected data. SniperSpy monitoring software can generate a bar chart for Websites Visited, Applications Used, Windows Used, IM Activity and Online Searches. This well-designed graphical display assists the computer administrator with the interpretation of the gathered information.
The surveillance software's LIVE Control Panel has a dedicated area for the viewing of logs that contained the gather information from the monitored computer. The Log Viewers are equipped with multiple capabilities and built-in reports. These include Top 10 Reports, Screenshot Logs, Keystroke Logs, Application Logs, App Usage Logs, File Change Logs and a variety of chat logs.
The Tools/Utilities area helps the administrator perform a variety of tasks. These include Browsing Uploaded Files, System Information, Search All Logs, Fetch Pending Logs, Uninstall SniperSpy and much more.
SniperSpy is a pure and robust monitoring software solution. The app can keep a computer administrator informed about the activities of all monitored users. The spy software has no filtering and blocking capabilities. Perhaps the manufacturer will add these omitted features in a future version release. Until that occurs, computer owners who desire to filter and block a user's undesirable online behavior, rather than just monitor it, may want to evaluate other surveillance applications.
