Prey is a Windows security and anti-theft program that allows users to track, monitor and recover lost or stolen devices.
Alarm
It is possible to remotely lock mobile phones, displaying a customized message on the screen to deter theft or guide finders. The app also provides a remote alarm that triggers a loud sound, even if the system is on mute. These tools help prevent unauthorized access and attract attention to the device’s location.
Smart moves
Moreover, when marked as missing, the smartphone will automatically collect evidence, including front camera photos, screenshots and network details. The data is compiled into detailed reports accessible from the main dashboard. Besides, there are actions that help you protect personal information by wiping browser data, stored credentials or entire folders. You can trigger file deletion commands to ensure sensitive information does not fall into the wrong hands.
It is also worth noting that the software runs discreetly in the background, using minimal system resources and battery life. There is a stealth mode that does not interrupt daily use or display visible notifications unless activated. The tool is designed to remain hidden during tracking or evidence gathering, preventing tampering by unauthorized individuals.
