Hidden Camera is a simple and extremely effective employee monitoring
solution that increases productivity several folds by eliminating any
PC activity not directly related to work.
This is how Hidden Camera works ? after the software is installed, a
manager (supervisor, business owner) can see what?s going on the
employees PC monitors (active window or full-screen) real time. Up to
250 user PCs are supported and the program can be set up to
automatically save screenshots at specified intervals.
While a manager can continuously monitor employees (which makes sense
during training or when an employee is suspected of misconduct), this
is truly an exhausting task. Quickly looking through saved screenshots
takes less then 1 minute per employee and can be done by any authorized
staff member. Split-screen mode is supported (up to 250 screens in one
simultaneously). The program starts working as soon as monitored PC is
being booted.
After the program was originally released, Oleansoft inquired about
program effectiveness. It turned out that in all companies that
publicly announced implementation of Hidden Camera and demonstrated how
it works, there was not a single incident of employees playing games or
visiting adult sites.
After other employees got caught and fired for imitating work (for
example, by opening Word documents but not actually working with them
for hours) the productivity of the rest jumped 25-400%. The knowledge
of the fact that an employee could be watched (which should be
reinforced infrequently by phone calls, presenting prints of
screenshots or making comments) turned out to be enough.
Some companies found other uses for Hidden Camera. The program is being
successfully used for remote education and presentations, help-desk
services and mutual collaboration on various projects
