Device Locator: Track your Computer, BlackBerry™ or other Smartphone
Device Locator can help you recover your desktop/notebook computers and smartphones
if they are stolen or lost. It displays a map to track your GPS-enabled BlackBerry™.
You add all your computers to your account at theDeviceLocator. If they're stolen,
they'll continue to check in at theDeviceLocator.
Stolen computers can be traced by the current Internet Address (IP Address). For BlackBerrys, we have an app that reports the GPS location.
If your computer is stolen, you can give this information to Law Enforcement Officers
who can recover your device and possibly arrest a thief.
How it works
-
Create a free account and then create tracking records for up to 10 computers, tablets, and smartphones.
-
Set up each computer to send a message to our secure servers at hourly intervals.
-
Our server will store your device's tracking messages.
You can review them any time. If your device is lost or stolen, you can view the current GPS location and/or Internet address
to determine the location of the device.
Your single account here at theDeviceLocator can be used to track up to 10 devices, so you can
keep track of your family's computers and smartphones in one place. Only you can view your computer's activity. We protect your privacy.
Why use theDeviceLocator?
-
No-nonsense tracking of your desktops/notebooks. Nothing to install. When a stolen computer reconnects to the Internet, its new IP address will generally identify the user account at the Internet Service Provider.
-
GPS mapping for BlackBerrys.
-
Track all your family's computers and devices in one place with one password. One person can be responsible for tracking everything rather than relying on each family member to install tracking software.
