Frequently asked questions
Below, you'll find answers to commonly asked questions about our products/services. Feel free to reach out to us directly for further assistance. We're here to help!
Prey is a multi-platform solution that works on a wide range of devices. This includes laptops (Windows, macOS, Ubuntu), smartphones and tablets (Android, iOS), and even Chromebooks. As long as a device can run our agent, you can track it.
Prey uses a combination of technologies for location tracking, depending on the OS in question. We use GPS, Wi-Fi triangulation, mobile data and sometimes a mix of them. Android and iOS rely on GPS being on. Windows relies on triangulation and requires the Wi-Fi adapters to be turned on. This multi-layered approach ensures that you can locate a device even if GPS is off or unavailable, providing the most accurate location possible.
While Prey is renowned for its location and recovery features, it has enough device and user management features to be a well-rounded administration solution. Our platform is designed to help manage and take inventory of devices. You can use it to know which employee has which device, see its hardware status, and manage your entire fleet, even when devices are safe and in use.
Our dashboard gives you a comprehensive view of your device fleet. You can see crucial details like:
- Auto-updating map location
