Monitor Your Children’s Computer Usage with USB Gadget
If you’re worried about what kind of Internet sites your kids are surfing to, or who they’re chatting with online, when you’re not in the room or at home, this gadget may help. The Snoop Stick is a USB device that allows you to monitor who’s doing what on your home computer.
At first, I thought you stuck the drive into a free slot on your home computer and it downloaded recordings (and all someone would have to do is unplug it to evade its eye), but it looks like the drive is for the monitor not the monitoree (ok, that’s not a word, I’m sure). You take it with you to work or wherever and plug it into that computer, and then it lets you sync up with your home computer to see what’s going on there.
The device can monitor in real time or play back recent activity. The Snoop Stick is $60 and can be used to monitor up to 3 different computers.
