★ Watchdog protects your parcel (security orb)
★ Comes as mesh puppy with 2 states (sitting/laying)
★ Sound effects (barking, howling)
★ Super-fast, no warning
★ No access list hassle
★ Only 2 LI
Watchdog protects you and your friends privacy by instantly ejecting anybody that enters your parcel while watchdog is active. Like if you are in certain activities and you don't want to get disturbed or even be seen by others. (Make sure you have additionaly *invisibility* turned on in your parcel settings). Watchdog automatically whitelists everybody who is on your parcel at the time of his activation. He's designed as a temporary security system - easy and fast to activate. No manual adding of people, managing access lists and all that hassle. When watchdog gets disabled, the whitelist is erased (one time whitelist) and on the next enable newly generated. So you never have to manually remove people; watchdog is security for the moment (though that moment can last as long as it takes ^^)
Watchdog is fast, watchdog does not warn, watchdog acts immediately - you can set his reaction speed from 0.5 to 2 seconds. Watchdog is essential for group land where ban lines are not possible and/or allowed. Though, watchdog can be used to replace regular banlines on self owned land too.
Watchdog does not use old (and laggy) SL sensors, but a rather new method. It does not scan beyond your parcel borders; though inside your parcel everything is secured, from ground to any altitude in the sky. There is no chance someone could bypass watchdog by altitude. Watchdog reacts so fast, the intruder will not even get to the point where avatars inside the protected parcel would be loaded and displayed. Also multiple entries of avatars at the same time won't slow watchdog down.
You get notified by IM when watchdog ejects someone. The puppy is also making a howling sound when he ejects an intruder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
SETUP
Rezz watchdog and place him where you want INSIDE your parcel. To test if you have proper rights to eject people on your parcel click watchdog and choose "Test" - watchdog will then try to eject yourself a single time. If you get ejected, watchdog can protect your parcel. If you don't get ejected, you lack of the proper (group) rights to eject people form your parcel.
You may also try to deed watchdog to the land group to make him work.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
DEEDING TO GROUP
You can deed watchdog to a group, he will still listen to you and take your commands. *ATTENTION* After deeding you are no longer the owner of the watchdog object. If you have no delete/return rights for the group you can delete watchdog by his menu - just choose "Delete".
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Start & Options
Click watchdog to bring up his menu. You can see the current settings in the blue dialog box.
1. Enable! / Disable!
Enables or disables watchdog. If enabled, he will protect your parcel immediately. All current avatars on your parcel are added to the whitelist. If you disable watchdog, the protection will end immediately and the whitelist gets erased (each activation of watchdog generates a own unique whitelist until he gets disabled).
Watchdog online: the puppy is sitting.
Watchdog offline: the puppy is lying.
2. Test
Ejects you a single time from the parcel to test if watchdog has the proper rights to protect the parcel.
3. Sign
To make it easier to see (and remember) that you have your watchdog online, the sign gives a stronger visual hint then the puppy position alone. You can toggle the display of the sign with the "Sign" button. Standard setting is Warning Sign: yes
4. Help
Gives you this help notecard.
5. Interval
Sets the scan interval of watchdog. You can set 0.5, 1 or 2 seconds. As lower as faster watchdog will react. Lower settings may affect performance of the sim. Standard is 1 second.
6. Auto Off
If this option is set to "yes" watchdog will notice if no one is on your parcel anymore and will deactivate itself. If you forget to deactivate watchdog this options prevents that watchdog ejects people even if no one is on the parcel. If you disable this option watchdog will eject until you disable him. Standard setting is Auto Off: yes
7. Delete
Deletes watchdog immediately (you have to rezz a new copy from your inventory). This function allows you to delete watchdog even if he is deeded to group and no longer in your ownership.

Bark! Bark!

New Review - Trespassers/Griefers allowed if active.
This item, does not have a range feature and during testing it can eject anyone near it, or has a right to be in their skybox. This Watchdog fails, that if you have a trespasser/griefer at the time of Rez, it gets added to the allowed list, this needs to be fixed.
Super easy to use.
Turn it on and it lets the people on the parcel stay and keeps others away. It's that easy. No fumbling with trying to spell someone's name right. Then when you log off it turns on automatically to keep people from using your home while you are gone.
Great product !
Thanks , i love Watchdog it is so easy to add ppl , it is so low lag and looks really nice ,cute and fits into my home so great.
