Prey is a free and open source computer tracking software developed by Fork Ltd, that provides information remotely on the location of a computer device (including smartphones), screenshots, images from a camera if fitted, etc. Its purpose is to assist in tracking a stolen device, particularly a portable one. The software connects in the background to a central server if an Internet connection is available, and if logged there as missing will send detailed reports either to the server (which a registered user can connect to), or directly to a specified email address. It will supply location information if connected to a WiFi network.
