Farsighter

Farsighter, the latest version being 2.00, is a powerful tool under the System Utilities category, specifically tailored for Remote Computing. Developed by Sureshot, this program offers the unique ability to monitor a remote computer invisibly by streaming real-time video to a viewer on another computer. The magic happens with the farsighter.exe file, which operates seamlessly in the background. An earlier version, 2.0, has also built a solid reputation among users.

By utilizing Farsighter, users can effortlessly keep an eye on other computers from a distant location, making it invaluable for various applications. For instance, parents can monitor their children’s computer activities to ensure they are safe online. It is also beneficial for professionals who need to demonstrate programs remotely to clients or trainees.

The program comprises two main components: a server and a client. The server part, which is installed on the remote computer, invisibly captures the screen video and transmits it. Meanwhile, the client part (viewer) is where the streaming video from the server is displayed, providing real-time updates on the activities happening on the remote computer.

User convenience is at the forefront, with the program available for a free download. This allows potential users to experience its capabilities without any initial investment. The seamless operation and the practicality of Farsighter make it stand out in the remote monitoring market.
