The wizards of Temporal Gadgets took a look at monitoring gadgets in Second Life and decided that there was room for improvement. We looked at various technology, chat relays, visitor counters, spy gadgets and found that there was no one product that provided a comprehensive monitoring solution.
We found a lot of inexpensive chat relays available....if you dont mind your IM's being capped when you are offline. And there are a lot of visitor counters...if you dont mind going to all the sites you wish to count visitors, and touch each one to get a report. Even then, the visitor counter outputs the list of visitors into chat...which leaves you no good way to maintain any kind of records.
So we designed the Big Brother Networked Monitoring System for Store, Club and Business owners that need to maintain accurate records of visitors to their business, and to monitor the business activities in multiple locations. We feel we have created the ultimate Second Life remote monitoring product.
The Big Brother will allow you to place tiny cloaked controllable remotes in any locations you need to monitor. Remotes may be placed in any sim, and will report from anywhere. When you place each remote, you may rename it so you know which location it is monitoring. When cloaked, each remote will shrink down to a 0.010 size, and turn phantom and totally transparent. Each remote will not only relay any chat within a 20 meter radius, but will also track every visitor that comes within the owner configurable range up to 96 meters. Then it will take the compiled list of visitors, including names and times the visitor was there, and automatically email the list to your email address.
Both the chat and the visitor monitoring functions of the Big Brother remote are networked to the centrally located control panel. The control panel is copiable, and each will support up to six remotes, so the system is very scalable. The system will stop relaying chat when the owner is logged out of Second Life, so the Big Brother is never the cause of capped IM's. Additionally, you can toggle on and off each relay while you are online just by touching it's icon on the control panel. Each icon may be textured with a photo of the remote location. The system utilizes a simple color code system to show you at a glance which chat relays are on or off, or if the remote is out of communication due to a sim crash. Also, the remotes are intelligent, they are able to re-establish communications with the control panel after sim outages or crashes.
The visitor counter function of the remotes is truly unique, in that the scan range and interval can be customized to reduce lag in your sim. Addtionally, each visitor list from each remote is compiled, and sent back to the control panel. The panel will combine them in groups of 36 entries, and email them to you, or will email the entire list daily, whichever comes first.
We recommend that you monitor your businesses only, and do so responsibly, since the Linden Labs community standards specifically states that "Remotely monitoring conversations, posting conversation logs, or sharing conversation logs without consent are all prohibited in Second Life and on the Second Life Forums." We suggest that you notify all potential persons that may be chatting within range of a remote that a remote exists.
