NetSupport DNA Browser

This mobile Browser app for iOS tablets and smartphones is for use with NetSupport DNA (version 4.50 and above), a single, low-cost solution delivering IT Asset Management, Classroom Instruction, Internet Safety and more – with dedicated versions available for schools and corporate enterprises.

The Browser app supports NetSupport DNA’s core desktop management capabilities. When launched, it will interrogate the iOS device to gather key system inventory details and monitor online activity. The data collected is dynamically sent to your local NetSupport DNA Server and is then available for reporting within the NetSupport DNA Management Console.

Standard browser navigation features including bookmarks, add tabs (with the option to set a default Home Page), internet history, plus the option to change the default search engine are also included on the DNA Browser app’s toolbar.

Supported Features:

Real-time Monitoring - An Admin or Teacher via the Console can view a real-time summary of all devices. Selected devices can be viewed either in a detailed list view or via real-time thumbnails of each device screen.
