The WatchDog. A Simple Solution.
The WatchDog is a Rechargable Battery Pack that Allows You to Set the Amount to Time that a Child can play Video Games.
When Time's Up, the Controller Automatically Shuts Off.
Simply install the battery into the controller and choose one of our quick setup profiles. The WatchDog will provide the child with the set amount of time each day.

Kid Simple
The best technology should be simple to use.
With child friendly features like AutoStart, using the WatchDog is completely transparent to the user. For situations where siblings might accidently use each others time, the WatchDog will only start when the proper code is entered.
AutoStart - Timer will automatically start when the child powers on the controller.
CodeStart - Timer will start only when the child enters a code - simple security of siblings that accidently use each others time.
Pause Anytime - Press any button and the timer will pause. Power the controller back up and the timer will start from where it left off.
Bonus Time. Our Favorite Feature.
When you enter the Parent Code on the controller, 30 minutes is added to the controller. This is in addition to any time that was already being allowed.
Bonus time allows you to:
- Reward a child with extra time
- unlock a controller for a friend (or parent)
- provide you with a little extra time.

Capable of charging two controllers simultaniously, the Charging Base can be powered by any of the USB jacks located in the front or back of the Xbox.
Alternatively, the charger can plug into any USB charger to keep your AV setup clutter free.
Tamper Detection Stickers
Tamper Detection Stickers can be placed over the original Xbox controller charging port to prevent children from circumventing the WatchDog.
Additionally, parents can set a high security code to detect the battery is removed (see Parental Codes in the setup instructions).
