I'm looking for some anti-theft software similar to LoJack, but free. I would like the software to meet these requirements,

  • Gratis
  • Compatiable with Windows 10
  • Provides GeoLocation on device
  • Provides picture of person using device
  • Provides screenshot or live view of the screen
  • Low memory footprint
  • Only starts recording information when theft is reported (on the website where this data would be found)

I'm currently using Prey which seems to be the best free software that I've seen. It provides free protection for 3 devices and meets the requirements found within the question. It's available for many devices including desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones.

Prey (open source)

Prey is a lightweight application that will help you track and find your laptop or mobile if it ever gets stolen. It works in Windows, Mac OsX, Linux and Android.

    I'm using it too. A minor disadvantage is that blocking sometimes delayed up until 30 minutes, so this will add to the time between your device being stolen and it signalling "I'm stolen". Not a big issue, and it may have improved since my last tests.
