Screen recorder

The «Screen recorder» mode allows you to monitor user activity completely independently of ROM-Viewer. It means that the administrator can use the comfortable user interface to specify the schedule that looks like this if you put it in a plain human language — «Make a screenshot every 2 minutes on business days from 8 AM to 5 PM“. At any time the administrator can download the file where screenshots are stored for a certain day from the server and use a special player to see what was going on on the remote computer screen, for example, at 4 PM. It is also possible to protect the screenshot file against being deleted on the server.

So, who may need it? First of all, administrators and directors because it allows them to control the user activity. Watching through a daily report with screenshots made with one-minute interval, you can see what exactly was going on on the remote computer screen throughout the entire business day. Thus, it is possible to considerably optimize the work of employees even when the administrator is not at work.

If some statistical information is displayed on the remote computer screen (for example, CPU usage, etc.), it will be convenient to use these screenshots to track changes in usage throughout the day, especially at night, which is quite important for server administration. If several users or an unlimited number of users share access to one computer, screenshots may be useful to control their activity.
