Prey

Prey is a special utility that gives you the ability to control stolen equipment (tablet, laptop, smartphone).

Installation and start using

After registering on the service, you can choose any of the available options - download the Prey application to your mobile device or synchronize your personal account with your mailbox. The latter action will have to be performed in any case, but in this situation there is a mailbox where notifications will be received. And it is not always the e-mail address specified during registration. If you decide to install a mobile client, then important news will be sent to it and saved in the profile.

Interesting features of the utility

It can help you in various situations. The utility will not only help you find lost devices, but also find out which of your family members used them while you were away from home. Prey's basic function is to locate your laptop (via Wi-Fi or GPS). This program can take a screenshot that will help you find out what the scammer was doing with your laptop. The same information can be obtained from a special list consisting of previously visited websites, recently created program files and pages. You'll even be able to look at the thief's appearance while he's using your device. The built-in camera silently takes a picture and sends it to you. The user can remotely clear the list of saved passwords and emails and then lock the device. Thus, the contents of the notebook will be safely protected from prying eyes.
