 I know you are already curious to know; but  relax your mind lets take it step by step because I am still the pilot of this ship. Lol!

At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to keep track of your Phone, System or Tablets.

How Do I Keep Track of My Phone And System When It Is Stolen?

Let me introduce you to PREY. Prey lets you keep track of your laptop, phone and tablet whenever stolen or

missing -- easily and all in one place. It's lightweight, open source software that gives you full and remote control of your device anytime and anywhere. Prey will automatically get the details of the thief ranging from photographs,phone number and email it to you without the thief being aware of it.

On a laptop with a webcam, a Wi-Fi chip, and Prey installed, it's a good bet you'll have a photo of your thief and an approximate location on them just as soon as they have your computer running for a few minutes.

Prey currently supports computers running Windows, Mac, or Linux to Android devices.

To begin with Prey, follow this simple steps

1.       Download Prey here and click on install to run on your system. During the installation period, create a new account for your self and enter all your details as pictured below including your device type

 

2.       Once you click on create, you will receive a congratulation message telling you that your device is now set up and  being tracked by prey.

3.       Head straight to their site and login to your control panel with your user name and password – click on Device – Click on Report(0) from the tracked device  -  Click on  Main as pictured below

 

4.       It’s time to configure our MODULES  so set the following parameters as seen on the pic below

 

Once you are done, save changes.

The most important module to turn on is Geo, which uses Google's Wi-FI location API to try and triangulate a laptop's location—or the GPS chip in an Android for very accurate positioning. But you can turn on every thing for effective performance.

For Android Users

Android phones set up with Prey actually have fewer reporting and alarm modules than laptops, but they do have one unique feature: SIM card protection. One of the useful feature is that you can set Prey to SMS the phone number of any new SIM that is inserted into your phone to another number. So even if a thief replaces the SIM card, you'll have the new phone number you can use to report at the same time, track the calls made with that phone.

5.       Finally, the moment  you noticed that your phone or laptop is been stolen, just log in to your account and click on missing and the tracker will begin to take snapshots, and details of the thief ; immediately, you will receive the reports in your email account.

Track the thief and keep your device safe and secured. Don't forget to ask question where you seems to be confuse.
