How to track laptop with Prey

How to track your laptop thief as Prey

Prey

Our gadgets are precious Property of us. We will never think of loosing it or being stolen by gadget fox. Perhaps, somehow, if it is being stolen by others, we loose the hope for getting it back. But, to wait for the measures to be taken after it is being stolen, is simply foolishness, if the preventive measures which we can take are free

to implement.

The project by the Fork Ltd. 'Prey' is a open source and free to use. Works on almost all platforms including Windows, Mac OS, Ubantu, Linux, Android, ios.

Prey Web-based control-panel

This free application after a little installation process helps you report your device as missing and in getting it back. This application not only get you the actual hardware configuration which was before loosing it but also the hardware changes made by the theft. Also this application helps you in tracking your laptops actual location with its Geo feature.

The network feature in this app helps you grab some useful info about MAC and its public/private IP addresses, and also it captures some snapshots through your device camera by switching it on automatically. This just use the internet connection to send this information to you as soon as it is connected to the internet or this will search for a open hotspot to connect the device automatically to the internet.

This application has the security feature like lock your PC and unlocked only if password is entered.

Also this has many Switch options like Thief alarm, alert message with your contact details ..etc.

I personally think that to worry about your device after loosing it, it is better to have preventive measures taken before...
