With the Spector Pro Email Recorder, a copy of every email sent or received is automatically saved to a hidden location on your PC..

Even when they delete their email, Spector Pro will keep a secret copy for you to review.

To review the email recordings, simply click on the Email tab and Spector Pro will list all of the incoming and outgoing emails. See whether the email was sent or received, who sent it, who received it, the Subject of the email, and the time and date the email was sent or received.

With a click of a button, all emails can be viewed by Sender, Recipient, Subject and Time/Date.

Click on a specific email, and you will see the contents of the email. With Spector Pro, you even have the option of recording email attachments.

Now, you can look at all the emails received on a particular date or all the emails sent to or received from a particular person, all with one or two clicks.

Spector Pro includes what many consider to be the BEST key logger on the market, saving keystrokes by application, by date and time.

With Spector Pro, you will know what was typed, where and when it was typed, and you will also know WHO typed it because Spector Pro keeps a record of who is logged into the computer.

The Spector Pro Keystroke Recording tool will document every key typed on the PC keyboard. Spector Pro not only captures standard alphanumeric keystrokes, but also records "hidden" characters and keystroke combinations, such as the Shift and Ctrl key, as well as “true” keystrokes which may other-wise appear differently on screen (such as an * when a password is typed).

Keystroke recordings are organized chronologically by Application and by Window allowing you to easily differentiate between what is typed in a word processing document, email, spreadsheet, or Internet browser (even passwords).

• Records Hidden Characters and True Keystrokes

The Web Site Recording tool continually monitors every web page that is accessed on the computer and saves a record of the URLs chronologically for your review.

Additionally, you can quickly highlight any recorded Domain Name or URL and choose to block future access – or – take preventative action and create your own list of web sites to block.

Imagine a surveillance camera pointed directly at your computer monitor, filming away anything anybody does online, and storing this in a secure area for your later review. That is the idea behind the Snapshot Recording tool in Spector Pro.

Spector Pro takes hundreds of snapshots every hour, very much like a surveillance camera. Snapshots are taken of whatever is on the computer screen and saved away in a hidden location on the computer's hard drive. You determine how frequently Spector Pro records – as often as once per second.

That means you get detailed visual recordings of all chat conversations, instant messages, emails typed and read, all web sites visited, all programs run, all keystrokes typed – everything they do on the computer and on the Internet.

Is your employee emailing somebody using a Hotmail account? Spector Pro will take pictures of that, save it away, and allow you to come back minutes, hours or even days later and see EXACTLY what they were typing and reading and viewing.

Is your child having secret chat conversations with an adult stranger? What motives does the stranger have? Maybe they are good, but maybe they are bad, and you need to know. Spector Pro will take pictures of the chats and let you see exactly what they are discussing.

Is your spouse viewing pornography online while you are asleep, or engaging in cyber sex when they know you disapprove? Spector Pro will show you in EXACT VISUAL detail every web site they visit, every picture they view, every chat room they visit.

Reviewing the recordings is simple with easy to use, VCR-like controls. Click “PLAY” and the snapshots of your PC play back like a video recording. Skip ahead, instantly rewind, move to a specific date and time, print individual snapshots and more!

Snapshot Recording is simply the most powerful way to record and review everything they do online and offline.

• VCR Style Playback
• Fast Forward
• Immediate Rewind
• Data Stored Chronologically
• Advanced Compression
• Inactivity Timeout
• Automatic Resume of Recording

One of the most powerful features of Spector Pro is its advanced Keyword Detection and Notification. Create a list of "on alert" words or phrases and Spector Pro will continually monitor keyboard typing, URLs, web pages, incoming and outgoing emails, chat conversations and instant messages for these offending words or phrases.

When a keyword or phrase is detected, Spector Pro immediately jumps into overdrive. Snapshot frequency is automatically increased to ensure that every detail of the offender’s actions are recorded. Additionally, Spector Pro collects information regarding the offense and sends you an instant keyword alert via email.

Each keyword alert contains the following information:

1. The keyword that was detected
2. The time the keyword was detected
3. The current user logged in to Windows
4. Additional detailed information (Example: the URL where the keyword was found)

You tell Spector Pro which words and phrases to watch out for - for example, "sex," "phone number," "where do you live," "are your parents home," "is your wife sleeping," "I hate my boss" - whatever YOU decide to include. You also tell Spector Pro where to send the INSTANT ALERTS (you specify your email address).

Then, when the person using the computer TYPES in one of these words or phrases, or when they are chatting and one of these words comes up, or when they are sending or receiving an email with one of these words or phrases, Spector Pro takes IMMEDIATE action and sends you an email letting you know exactly what is happening so you can take action.

ENHANCED!
Keyword Detection Features

• Quickly Define Keywords/Phrases to Monitor
• Instant Email Notification Upon Detection of Keyword/Phrase
• Works In Conjunction With Email, Web Site, Chat/IM, Keystroke and Snapshot Recording Tools
• Increased Snapshot Frequency Upon Keyword Detection

Flexible Recording Options

Spector Pro can be set to record on a schedule. Most people will want Spector to record at all times. However, there may be certain times of day, or certain days of the week where you do not want Spector to record.

For example, you use the computer at certain times of the day and you do not want your own activities recorded. Or, you are an employer and you want to allow your employees to use the computer during lunch breaks or after work and not record their activity during these times.

Scheduling allows you the flexibility to pre-determine what is recorded and when recording takes place. Set recording schedules by day of the week, time of day or Windows application being used.

Record By User ID

Record ALL users or narrow your focus to a specific user or group of users. Spector Pro allows you to identify specific Windows User Login IDs (for Windows NT, 2000 or XP) so that whenever they are using the PC, their actions are being recorded. Combined with the Scheduling feature, you can record ANY user, ANYWHERE on your network, ANYTIME of the day or week.

Keep Spector Hidden From Everyone Except You

Spector Pro offers three levels of security that protect the program and recorded data from being altered or tampered with.

Security features include: Stealth Mode, Hot Key Access and Password Protection.

Stealth Mode

• Stealth technology ensures that Spector Pro is completely hidden from everyone except those with authorized access. It will not appear in the Windows System Tray, Desktop, Task Manager or Add/Remove Programs Menu.

Hot Key Access

• Your recordings are protected by a combination of Hot Keys that you choose. Spector Pro can only be accessed through your defined Hot Key combination.

Password Protection

• As an added measure of security, Spector Pro will prompt you for a password before opening the PC recording files. This ensures that anyone attempting to access the recordings is an authorized user.

Using Spector on a Network

Spector Professional Edition has a flexible data recording and retrieval structure which makes it an excellent tool for use over a corporate or small business network.

Simply install Spector on the networked PCs you wish to monitor. When you are ready to review the recordings, launch the Spector viewer from any PC. Next, select the specific PC that has been recorded on your network. Spector will automatically retrieve the recording data and load it into your Spector viewer.
