Setup Resources

  WebSafety is a simple solution for mobile device monitoring because we are 100% mobile. You won’t need to install a router in your home.  You won’t need to do anything on your PC or laptop. The real power of WebSafety is realized as you connect to a wider range of your child’s digital life.  We can help you configure the basics within just a few minutes or establish our entire suite of monitoring in less than 15 minutes.  We have put together a simple outline of the steps involved and a few videos to watch while you perform the setup.
