GadgetTrak Mobile Security was installed on demo phones at a Sprint store and is now leading authorities to suspected thieves. The software has provided location data as well as photos of the suspects captured by the stolen phones.
The thieves were able to remove the phones from their secure cradles, the store was able to capture surveilance videos of the thieves in the act.
After the theft the store activated GadgetTrak which provided location of the thieves as they moved to Vancouver, Washington. In addition we were able to access images captured by the phone of the suspects.
In one of the images we were also able to see a temporary permit on the back window and were able to read the numbers.
We tracked one of the phones to an apartment complex in Vancouver, Washington.
An investigative reporter went to the location with the data we provided and found the car thanks to the trip permit in the image.
The police are still investigating the incident, but thanks to GadgetTrak they have quite a bit of evidence in the case and it is only a matter of time before the suspects are identified and brought in for questioning.
We’re really excited to announce the launch of GadgetTrak Mobile Security 3, our next generation applications for Android and Blackberry smartphones and tablets.
GadgetTrak Mobile Security 3 takes the GadgetTrak service well beyond location tracking, adding several new security features, most notably remote backup and data wipe.
Key features include:
Optimized for smartphones and tablets: Built for each platform’s native capabilities to offer the best protection for the widest range of mobile devices.
Remotely wipe the device: Remotely wipe personal data stored on your device such as photos, email, contacts and SMS messages.
Secure data backup: Encrypt photos and contacts using government grade encryption (AES 256) and back them up in a secure location.
Advanced Positioning: Locate your device using a combination of GPS, cell tower triangulation, and Wi-Fi positioning, even if the device is indoors.
Tamper proof: Once activated, the app settings cannot be modified on the device and notifies if the SIM card changes.
Alarm: Trigger the device to emit a loud siren that can be a theft deterrent or help find a missing phone even if it is set to silent mode.
Mobile Security 3 joins the rest of the GadgetTrak family to allow you to protect all of your Mac and Windows laptops, iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch, Android, and BlackBerry devices.
