Protect your business with iMonitor EAM The most complete employee computer activities monitoring software
Record PC Activity for Investigation
Capture evidence-grade records of computer activity to support investigations and resolve incidents with confidence.
What Is PC Activity Recording?
PC activity recording captures a complete, time-stamped history of how employees use company computers. It logs applications, websites, keystrokes, screenshots, files, and USB activity, then stores everything in a central database for review.
When an incident or dispute arises, organizations need evidence. Complete activity recording gives investigators the record they need to understand what happened, when, and on which computer, supporting fair and accurate resolution.
Key Features of iMonitor EAM for activity recording
iMonitor EAM records a complete history of PC activity, so you always have the evidence you need for investigations.
Who Uses PC Activity Recording?
PC activity recording is used by IT security teams, compliance officers, and HR investigators. It is essential in any organization that must investigate incidents, resolve disputes, or demonstrate oversight.
Common Use Cases
Organizations record PC activity to investigate security incidents, resolve employee disputes, and demonstrate compliance. Evidence-grade records support audits, internal reviews, and fair management decisions.
Benefits for Your Business
Complete recording reduces risk by giving you a searchable history of activity. When questions arise, you have objective evidence instead of relying on memory or assumptions.
It also supports fair investigations. Because the same standard is applied to everyone, leaders can resolve issues consistently and with accurate information.
Best Practices for activity recording
Successful activity recording programs follow a few practical guidelines. Communicate your policy clearly so employees understand what is monitored and why. Review reports regularly rather than only during incidents, and use the data to coach and improve rather than to punish. Focus on trends and workflows instead of isolated events, and document your program so it stays consistent as your team grows. Managers who follow these guidelines see better adoption and more reliable results. These practices help organizations get the full value of monitoring while maintaining trust and fairness, and they keep the program defensible and consistent if questions ever arise.
Getting Started with activity recording
Getting started is straightforward. Install the iMonitor EAM server, deploy the agent to employee computers, and the software begins recording a complete history of activity automatically. Review the centralized reports and configure retention to match your requirements.
How iMonitor EAM Works
iMonitor EAM uses a small agent installed on each employee computer. The agent runs silently in the background and records activity without interrupting the employee's work. Collected data is uploaded automatically to a central database on your server, where managers can review it through the iMonitor EAM console.
Setup is straightforward. Install the server, deploy the agent to employee computers, and the system begins collecting data. A 15-day free trial lets you evaluate the software with your own team before you buy.
Once data is collected, managers review it through the iMonitor EAM console. More than 50 built-in reports summarize activity by user, department, application, website, and time period, and the data can be exported for further analysis or compliance documentation.
Because the agent is lightweight and runs silently in the background, employees can continue working without interruption while activity is recorded. This makes iMonitor EAM suitable for long-term deployment across a large organization, and the centralized database scales with your team without requiring additional infrastructure or complex configuration. Administrators can add or remove computers as the business changes.
