Screen Snapshot Policy

SurveilStar’s can capture screen snapshots of the monitored computers. Administrator/supervisor can watch the video-like screen snapshots in real-time, see computer screen as the monitored user sees it. Up to 16 computer screens can be watched at the same time, and you can quickly switch between all monitored screens.

By default, SurveilStar does not capture any screen snapshot due to the large storage requirement.

You can enable the screen snapshot feature by defining the Screen Snapshot Policy:

  • Record who’s computer screen
  • Record all applications or record selected applications
  • How frequent to record

The default interval time for capturing screen snapshot is 15 seconds. That means SurveilStar will take one snapshot every 15 seconds. The valid interval time range is 1s to 999s.

Note:

The smaller the interval is set, the larger the size of the screen snapshot data. Please make sure the server has enough hard disk space for storing such scale of data.

For your reference, let’s assume your company works 8 hours per day, if you tell SurveilStar to capture the snapshots of one computer’s screen, based one the interval time of 15s, the size of the screen snapshot data may accumulate to about 42 MB.
