Agent Configuration
Agent settings can be managed remotely from the portal without touching the device.
Portal Configuration
- Go to Children → select the child → Devices
- Click the Edit button on the device
- Switch to the Agent Config tab
Available Settings
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Capture interval | Seconds between screenshots | 30 |
| JPEG quality | Compression quality (1–100) | 80 |
| Batch upload | Group screenshots for upload | Enabled |
| Batch size | Number of screenshots per batch | 5 |
| Upload delay | Milliseconds between uploads (bandwidth throttling) | 500 |
How Config Sync Works
- You change a setting in the portal
- The API increments the device’s
config_version - On the next heartbeat (every 60 seconds), the agent sees the new version
- The agent fetches the updated configuration
- The new settings take effect immediately
No restart of the agent is required.
Device Status
Devices report their status via heartbeat:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active | Agent is running and uploading screenshots |
| Paused | Agent is installed but monitoring is paused |
| Offline | No heartbeat received for over 5 minutes |
You can pause/resume monitoring from the device edit panel in the portal.
