Lojack for laptops?

[DonS]

Heya all

I have a client requesting tracking/location/recovery software for some of his work laptops. Lojack came to mind, there website is below. Are these the guys to go through? Does anyone have any other suggestions / experience with this type of software?

Thank you!

Never heard of it, but you can also look into Prey

I have used preyproject for one of my own devices, and it works great! Check it out.

Prey is nice but Lojack has insurance and it can tie into the bios of many laptops. Also I know that Lojack properly setup meets HIPAA requirements which I can't say about Prey.

Been using Prey Project for years. Good stuff.

LoJack for computers has been around for years. I have never used it, but they have very good reviews if I remember correctly and they are backed by the LoJack company that makes the system for your vehicles

Prey is really only much good if you activate the paid version. The free version doesn't do a helluva lot.
