Prey is a very popular cross-platform anti-theft tracker and it is available for Android as well. If you are using Prey on your Android phone, then there is some great news, Prey for Android now takes pictures of whoever steals your device. You can enable front camera support on your device from the Prey settings. This also means, if you generate a lost report from Prey when your camera is enabled, you get an image of person using your phone currently.
For this to work, your phone should have a front facing camera. Apart from this, it also features an Uninstallation Lock, and now gathers hardware information to help you identify your lost device in case it gets found.
To enable pictures on Android devices
- Update Prey to the latest version available on Google Play
- Log into the Control Panel and then select your Android device
- On the main screen, enable the new Webcam module, see the picture above
- Mark the device as missing and click the “Run Prey” button, you’ll get a report with a picture now.
