If your laptop, mobile phone or removable media device is stolen, GadgetTrak® software will tell you where it is, who has it and in some cases even what they're wearing.

GadgetTrak has three core products:

GadgetTrak®  Laptop Security utilizes advanced wi-fi positioning to provide the device owner with the precise location of their device within 10-20 meters of accuracy without the need for GPS. In addition if the system has a web camera integrated, it will capture a photo of the thief every 30 minutes. The software currently supports both Mac   and Windows.

GadgetTrak® Mobile Security provides the most advanced data protection and theft recovery solutions for smart phones, enabling control of your device and data in the event of theft. The software allows the device owner to send remote commands via SMS to wipe data from the device, track it, make it call another number so you can listen in on thief, back data up and other features. The software currently supports Blackberry and Windows Mobile.

GadgetTrak's USBTrak is tracking technology for portable media devices including flash drives, external hard drives and other devices with a memory partition. When a device with the software is accessed it will trigger it to hijack the computer it is connected to and send data to the device owner.

  "I am a Network Security Specialist and use GadgetTrak on my MacBook. This application is perfect for my needs because the recorded information is sent straight to me. There are a lot of security applications for the Mac but I have yet to see any that actually let the customer know its working!

  "According to the FBI the number of reported laptop thefts increased almost 48 percent over the last two years, from 73,700 to almost 109,000. The number of reported phone robberies jumped 33 percent over the same period, from 60,100 to nearly 80,300... With GadgetTrak's sneaky defenses, it almost makes you wish your BlackBerry or MacBook gets snatched."
