Being in the know
A couple of posts ago, I detailed two of our new services – a monitoring system for both mobile phones and computers. The great
thing about this system is that it really provides loads of protection for you and your family, as well as your business. Prevention is better than cure, as the saying goes, and in this case it couldn’t be truer. Many sorts of misdeeds and lies can be caught using this monitoring device, and provides basic protection for your family members and business as well.
.
One example is a client who availed of the computer monitoring service for his business. He found out that the person he left in charge of his business here in Thailand was regularly taking money out of the business and tunneling it into a secret account. The monitoring software was able to find other proof of misconduct like using company resources to pay for porn subscriptions – all while supposedly looking after the business. It’s a good thing that this was caught early, or the business would have been beyond saving.
.
Another example of using this mobile tracking and monitoring system is to keep yourself abreast of the whereabouts of your family members. As long as their phone is GPS enabled, you’ll be able to see where they are. This is especially useful in situations where a child is coming home late and in the worst case scenario, help prevent kidnapping, as you will be able to immediately trace the location of the family member in question. Mobile and computer monitoring will also help you to see if your children are being taken advantage of or are being bullied on the internet. The world wide web is a vast repository of useful information and entertainment, but there are also individuals and groups who seek to use the internet for unpleasant and downright evil intentions. Your children may not be able to guard themselves from this kind of predation, but through this technology, you yourself can step in and defend your family.
.
In the case of an unfaithful spouse or partner, you can immediately determine what kind of correspondence he or she is having through his or her mobile phone. You (or the private investigation agency you hire) will be able to further investigate the people he or she is talking to and the places he or she goes to so that more solid evidence can be collected and any illegal activity against your person can also be prevented or put to a stop. One client found out that he was about to be burglarized by the accomplices of his current partner through the mobile phone monitoring system we installed for him.
.
What’s more, the evidence and data you collect from these monitoring devices can be used as evidence should you decide to pursue a criminal case against these people. These kinds of leads also help private investigators pursue a case further and makes the whole process easier and smoother, leading to a good and solid resolution of the case. It pays to be in the know.

Isn’t this considered as an invasion of privacy? I mean, if you really trust the person, should all these monitoring devices be unnecessary and unneeded? With family members especially, trust is always an important factor in keeping a healthy relationship with the members of the family. Installing programs like this is counterproductive, I think, and anyone should think twice about considering software and programs like this. If these are discovered, it could cause a lot of damage to the relationship you have with your spouse or children. I really personally disagree with this method of protection as there are many other ways available.

Some people may disagree with monitoring like this, but I am completely on your side. Especially in business, you are entitled to know how your employees are using company resources. As long as they aren’t doing anything fishy, employees have nothing to fear from computer monitoring. With regard to family members, it really makes a difference to know what they’re up to, especially with your kids. Kids nowadays engage in a lot of activity on the internet that they really might not be ready for, plus, there is always the off-chance they are being abused, used, or bullied on the internet and any responsible parent should prevent that from happening. And the mobile monitoring device is especially handy during emergencies.

Joseph: I completely understand your point. Monitoring like this is not an issue to be taken lightly. But I believe that it is better to practice this kind of monitoring to prevent any big incident from happening in the future. Parents and business owners can always act on the information they gather in an indirect way so as to conceal the existence of such programs. Parents in particular can also set limits upon themselves regarding what kind of information they will act upon – as long as they trust their children to make the right decision, then they should let them. The kind of protection I am talking about is protecting children from exposure to pornography and other harmful elements they might encounter over the internet.
Oliver: I appreciate your open-mindedness regarding the issue. Monitoring is like this not for everyone, but it is really necessary in certain cases and have been known to make or break a case. Thank for visiting and leaving a comment.
