Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder is video capture software that will allow you to record your computer’s screen or audio. With only a few simple tools you can decide which parts of your computer are captured and converted. Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder is a great piece of software for screencasts, screenshots, and audio.

Features

With Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder you can record your desktop, take screenshots, or record audio. With the screen record option you can select from recording the entire screen, specific regions, focus around the mouse, or take web cam input. For audio you can pick to record desktop sounds, speak through your microphone, or combine both. Default formats for video is WMV, and for audio MP3, OGG, WMA, or WAV can be selected.

Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder can also set up tasks that automatically record for you. You may schedule a certain time of day, the duration of your recording or specific stop date, and if you are capturing video (including regions) or audio. You can also set if your computer shutdowns automatically after Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder finishes.

Usability

Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder has a very basic yet intuitive design. When the app is first opened and no files are in the output folder the file window will be hidden. After your first recording this window will expand, causing Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder to become larger in size. Each button has a simple drop down menu to adjust settings. There are rarely any detailed settings windows, except when scheduling tasks. One annoying aspect of Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder's UI are false buttons that you might expect to open new options and menus. Instead these are just fancy links to Apowersoft’s website placed in deceptive locations.

If you select region recording, an overlay will cover the screen, allowing you drag a desired rectangle sized space. If you’re unhappy with the rectangle size you can move it around, adjust pixel width and height, or select a preset from a drop down menu. Before recordings you can set up a countdown to prepare your screen, as well as audio beeps when a recording starts and stops.

Quality

Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder has a very minimal appearance, often times you may forget it is even open. When not recording it simply looks like a black and off-white bar. The miniature design works well as you rarely want a large abrasive UI while recording. You can also choose to hide most all of Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder’s toolbars to further increase its stealth.

Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder doesn’t cause any obvious slow down while it records, allowing you a smooth capture session as you open other programs and web pages. Quality of finished recordings is generally high and files are compressed to low sizes. There can be visual problems when using the area around mouse option, but only if you select a resolution under 640x480.

Conclusion

Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder is a great way to capture your screen for screencasts and audio. It only supports WMVs, but the quality of recordings is good with compact file sizes. Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder can set up captures at specific dates and automate shut downs, making handy for daily recording. Just remember that several buttons are links and not options.

System Surveillance Pro will automatically monitor a computer 24 hours a day, but may be set to deactivate and reactivate at specific hours. You can also add keywords and phrases that will send alerts when they are encountered on a website, instant message, or simply typed. If you can’t think of a keyword yourself System Surveillance Pro includes an internal list of keywords to protect minors against adult-related material. When an offending keyword is detected you can also opt to send an e-mail alert, take a snapshot, or close and block a website.

System Surveillance Pro includes a screenshot viewer that lets you easily browse problematic snapshots taken by the program. The screenshots will be sorted by dated timestamps on the left, a large image preview on the right, and viewing controls on the bottom. You can browse through screenshots as a slideshow, zoom in or out, and launch them in Window’s external viewer.

The demo version of System Surveillance Pro lacks an instant stealth mode, but can be fully hidden through multiple option selections across several menus. However, you can quickly enable password protection and “viewer lockout” which blocks logins for five minutes after three failed attempts. You can also use System Surveillance Pro to disable access to Windows Task Manger and system clock.

One unfortunate aspect is that you will need your password handy and log directly into System Surveillance Pro whenever you wish to uninstall, update, or otherwise change the program. This can be problematic in the rare cases when the keylogger crashes or will not open. These minor oversights and delays are not enough to overlook System Surveillance Pro’s array of monitoring options.

System Surveillance Pro is a complete package to monitor a single PC or large network of computers. The trial contains everything the retail version has to offer.
