Prey software, it’s an excellent open source anti-theft software. Prey helps you in keeping track of your missing or stolen mobile, laptop, ipad, and tablet. It’s lightweight and open source software that gives you full and remote control, which is fantastic. Prey is available for Windows, Ubuntu or Linux, Mac, Android, and iOS, so you don’t have to worry about it.
How it Works?
In beginning you will install a tiny agent in your phone or PC, which silently waits for a remote signal to wake up and work its magic.
This signal can be sent either from the Internet or through an SMS message, and it will allows you to gather information regarding the device's location, hardware and network status, and optionally trigger specific actions on it.
Its Key features:
- Geo-location awareness
Prey intelligently uses either the GPS of your stolen mobile or device, or it uses the nearest WiFi hotspots to triangulate and grab a fix location of your stolen phone or device.
- Find Enemy’s Identity
It takes the picture of the thief with your laptop’s webcam so you know what your enemy looks like and where he is hiding. It will be your powerful evidence.
- Restrict unauthorized access
Gives full control by fully locking down your stolen mobile or laptop, which can only be unlocked by a specific password and hence it make your stolen mobile or device unusable.
