  • GPS Tracking for Client Laptop's
    Beware this can become a privacy nightmare with very real legal consequences, but the best I know is https://preyproject.com/. Source: 10 months ago
  • Employee laptop deposit?
    The other - perhaps more important - reason to provide a laptop is data risk management. If the laptop is yours, you can force encryption, backups, and install endpoint security tools, which allow you to remotely wipe it if lost/stolen/fired. If you have an IT firm, they can probably help you set that up. Most tools that I know of are windows-centric; Azure AD has some built-in features. One cross-platform tool... Source: 10 months ago
  • Would the internet be fast and stable enough for Cloud PC?
    Also, installing this is just good practice: https://preyproject.com. Source: 12 months ago
  • Is it dumb to bring my laptop to South America?
    Install Prey Project on your system. It can help you recover the system if it is stolen. https://preyproject.com/. Source: 12 months ago
  • Got my S23 Ultra stolen
    Sorry to hear that bro. For future reference by others: https://preyproject.com/. Source: 12 months ago
  • Recommendations & Warnings Before 1st Time Install by 1st Time unRaid User
    Yeah, nah. Ever since Lowjack, the Prey Project, and Apple's Find My Whatever burglars don't tend to steal PCs any more. Also, UnRAID's drives are formatted in Unix formats, meaning it takes a certain sophistication to even mount the drive to read it. That's more effort than J. Jonah Junkie is willing to put in.

  • This woman left her AirPods on a plane. She tracked them to an airport worker's home | CNN
    I used Prey. I only have one laptop these days and I don't ever take it out of the house these days, so I haven't really bothered with Prey or similar software in quite a while. This was at least a decade ago. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Physically secure a desktop
    Also, does anyone have any experience with Prey? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Any cases/mods/attachments for airtags?
    You could try and see if something like Prey or location magic works on your deck. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Tamper-proof remote kill switch for laptop theft
    I'm not sure of your scale or budget, but if the answer to both is "Large" then go with Absolute. Otherwise, I'd recommend Prey (preyproject.com). I use it personally for my phone, tablet, and laptop and it's been reliable and no-fuss. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Find my phone using SMS, services like Cerberus
    Might be interested in using Prey. I don't believe it offers SMS but instead a nice little dashboard you can access via browser. Https://preyproject.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Ip Location
    Get a trial of https://preyproject.com/, you can download and run the installer via backstage. Source: over 1 year ago
  • stolen PCs
    Look into prey project. You can lock the device out completely. End users just gets a grey screen. You can also encrypt the drive and recover data remotely. Also has geo tracking. It’s cheap too. https://preyproject.com. Source: over 1 year ago
  • My wife lost a second phone right after losing one not long ago… I can’t even…
    Either get her a new phone with multiple tracking application (find my iphone & https://preyproject.com/) or get her a $50 burner phone. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Last night my apartment was broken into and my whole setup was stolen. Rip my first custom build
    A few people have talked about air tags. An alternative is https://preyproject.com/. As soon as they connect to internet, it pings the location. Source: over 1 year ago
  • How long do police keep searching for my mobile and laptop ?
    I would recommend you use Prey and purchase the paid version. It gives you exact locations powered by GPS along with pictures taken through your webcam everytime someone uses it. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Laptop checkout solution
    I use PreyProject which allows you to lend laptops out, active tracking with GPS, control zones, scheduled automations, data wipe, disk encryption and factory reset. Highly recommend. Https://preyproject.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • stolen Mac on Jamf: any advice?
    If you want to take the aggressive approach about finding where it went, using the device's camera to photograph the person who took it and getting it back, consider https://preyproject.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Is there any software that can lock the PC remotely in BIOS level?
    I haven't used it before but you might look into prey project was something I heard about years ago that seemed to fit there. https://preyproject.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • What would you use for mac security if your computer was stolen?
    Look at https://preyproject.com/. I've been using it for years. Luckily, only had one time where we thought a laptop was stolen. It's not as easy to provision with PPPC security now, but it still works. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • My kid keep losing his phone (with no phone number in it), is there a app to call or find it?
    Look at the Prey Project app (https://preyproject.com/), which has extra features in case someone steals the phone. But it can also just ring a loud sound to find the phone when it goes missing. Source: almost 2 years ago
