It's not a live view, but automatic screenshots are taken every X 
minutes, captured along with the title of the active window, and a 
photograph taken with your webcam, if you have one.

You are all right in probably not worth it. I may just try with a small 
job and see how it goes. Like I've said, I don't like the monitoring 
system, though!
