Network Watcher

Network Watcher is a very easy to use Windows software solution designed to help users monitor their networks and create a list of the connected systems.

Especially designed to catalogue network computers, the application lets you perform this task either manually or automatically, with the first method requiring system information such as IP and hostname.

The program is not at all difficult to use, as it relies on a very clean layout, but the difficult part is actually adding computers to the monitoring list.

First, you need to create groups, while then you’re required to add new computers to each group, as said, either manually or automatically.

If you wish to do it manually, you need to pick a group for each new computer, input its IP address and a name. On the other hand, doing it automatically lets you scan a specific IP range and add all found systems to the list, which is obviously faster and easier for those who don’t want to spend too much time with it.

Once computers are added to the monitoring list, the main window shows each computer and its status, along with information such as name, IP, MAC address and online.

Network Watcher can automatically refresh the information and update the data at a user-defined interval, while more settings are available in the dedicated options menu.

As you can expect, the program is not at all difficult to use and remains very friendly with hardware resources all the time, while working just fine on all Windows versions.

All things considered, Network Watcher is indeed a handy piece of software that’s not only free, but also very stable and reliable regardless of the Windows iteration you’re using.
