SafeEyes6, One Of Our Top Picks

January 14th, 2010

One of our missions at the Consumer Electronics Show was to take a look at the options available to parents for keeping tabs on and helping guide children’s choices as they interact with the internet. One stop on that journey was to InternetSafety.com’s booth to talk about the latest release of their popular parental control software, SafeEyes6. Stanley Holditch, Internet Marketing Manager for InternetSafety.com took a moment to speak with Digital Shepherds regarding the philosophy of the company, the latest features in SafeEyes6 and their iPhone/iPod Touch app.

Mr. Holditch talks about their iPhone/iPod Touch app.

Mr. Holditch talks about the company’s philosophy.

I know one thing that was, and from time to time still is an issue for me is YouTube video content and it’s good to know that SafeEyes6 also works on YouTube to help your young internet users steer clear of inappropriate material. Once the software is released, we’ll take an in-depth look at it and post up a review.

Protect Your Little Learners with SafeEyes

December 29th, 2009

One of the companies DigitalShepherds will be looking to talk to at the upcoming CES conference in Las Vegas, Nevada is InternetSafety.com. Makers of the popular internet monitoring sofware, SafeEyes. They’ve really done something great here with a whole suite of products to address the needs of the home user, business owner and mobile market (iPhone, iPod Touch only at this time).

According to internetsafety.com, SafeEyes for the home allows parents to monitor computer use in several key areas:

Content Controls – Flexible content control allows you to select the types of website that are appropriate.

Program Controls – Control Instant Messengers, P2P File Sharing, and other harmful programs.

Time Controls – Control the amount of time spent online, and the times when the internet is available.

Usage Logging – Create and review logs of websites visited, programs used on the Internet, and Instant Messaging Chats.

Usage Alerts – Be notified instantly via email, text message, or phone call when someone visits inappropriate websites.

The mobile product on the other hand does not offer quite as comprehensive monitoring on the iPhone and iPod Touch as it is more or less a web filter only and does not interact with any instant messaging on the device. Though, in tandem with the parental controls already built into both devices, it is a strong product.

For more info, check out SafeEyes on their website.

One fun tidbit on this software…it’s apparently popular enough that a Facebook fanpage has been started for those (we suspect annoyed youths) who hate internetsafety.com. It currently has 276 fans. So, it would appear that InternetSafety.com is successful in what they’re doing! Keep up the great work guys.
