Remote TV

The Remote TV feature lets you witness what your child is doing on their computer live, and all accessed from another computer through the web control panel's LIVE ACTION section.

To be able to use this feature, you will need to let any firewall programs allow Sentry Parental Controls access to your child's computer. To do this, you will need to refer to your firewall settings.

You will also need to make sure you have the latest version of Java installed on the computer you will be accessing your child's computer from. Click here to download the latest version of Java.

Once you have the latest version of Java installed, click the GO button. Doing so may ask you if you want to open or save the file. Choose to OPEN it. If you are asked what program to open the file with, choose your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox etc etc).
