How MonitorDog Works

MonitorDog Components

MonitorDog consists of two main components:

• PC Agent: Installed on the user's computer, it provides security functions to detect screen recording attempts or unauthorized access.
• Admin Console: A dashboard for administrators to configure security policies, manage agents, and monitor event logs across the organization.

Component	Description
🖥 PC Agent	Installed on the user's PC to detect and block suspicious behavior such as screen capture attempts in real time
🛠 Admin Console	A web-based dashboard (cloud or on-premise) for administrators to set policies, monitor and control agents, and review detection event logs

To enable protection, the MonitorDog PC Agent must be installed and running.
Once the agent is active, your PC is immediately protected.

Important Notes

MonitorDog Agent is a security software and has the following important characteristics. Please read carefully before installation or execution:

• Always Running
  MonitorDog assumes that the user is continuously using the MonitorDog Agent after installation and login, and operates as follows:

  • The Agent automatically starts when the computer is (re)booted and prompts the user to log in.
  • PC usage is restricted unless the user logs into MonitorDog. Once logged out, the PC cannot be used for general purposes.
  • The program cannot be closed through standard methods and can only be terminated via the Admin Console.

• Webcam Activation
  MonitorDog uses the webcam to detect screen recording attempts or unauthorized access in real time. Thus, the webcam remains active while MonitorDog is running.

• Network Connection Required
  MonitorDog communicates with the cloud-based Admin Console to transmit real-time events, so an active internet connection is required at all times.
