Google Family Link allows you to control any android device at no charge. The setup takes about 1 hour, but after that you can use your phone, or computer to find a lost device, set daily limits for surfing, authorize every app they request, lock down Youtube or any other app for age appropriate videos, see how much time was spent on what app, etc.
Apple Families also sets parental controls at your iPhone's fingertips. It has not been around as long as Family Link, so some of the features are untested. Check back, or sign up for updates.

It is relatively inexpensive and gives you the ability to control the internet gateway in and out of your home or office. Contact us at 714-972-8880 for more information, or for an onsite assessment.
