Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

FamiSafe Location

  • Monitoring requires installing a separate FamiSafe Kids app on the child's phone and pairing the two devices with a code
  • Remote screen capture is limited to mobile devices, Windows and Mac
  • The parent must run the FamiSafe app on their own phone; there is no monitoring without the paired parent app
