Video Playback and Screenshot Capture
Intergaurd believes screenshots are the most powerful way of collecting data as they provide you with the necessary context to evaluate certain concerns. Intergaurd offers three types of screenshots:
Alert Word Screenshots
The software takes a screenshot when a keyword is typed or viewed on the screen. You can select as many keywords as you need, and Intergaurd will automatically screenshot when one is detected. Alert word screenshot is most ideal for protecting key files that carry sensitive data with labels such as ‘client list,’ ‘pricing,’ ‘confidential’; it is also used to protect against harassment in the workplace in chats or emails.
Continuous Screenshots
The software takes continuous screenshots of employees’ workstations at intervals you set. Continuous screenshots are mainly used when conducting an investigation, and the software will store these screenshots in a video playback style as they are juxtaposed against the activity log with details of the actions to facilitate the search.
Smart Camera Screenshots
The software screenshots everything for selected websites and programs you select. Smart camera screenshots allow you to select key websites or applications to be screenshot at intervals you set, and the software allows you to search through the screenshots that are specifically related to the selected apps.
