How does it work?

Upon connecting to a wireless or wired internet network, an authentication dialog will pop up requesting the user to enter a password.

If the user fails to enter the correct password within the pre-defined timing, hidden alerts (with video capture) and information* (see Technical) will be sent out to any pre-defined email address(es)!

Smile your on CAMERA!

Verey I will record via the built-in iSight camera* and send out alerts together with other important information; IP addresses, machine serial number, MAC Hardware Address and even details of nearby wireless networks out immediately!

The machine will then automatically 'freeze up' to prevent any mishandling and display details on how to contact the owner.

Twitter!

With twitter service, owner can also receives the alerts via IM, email, from the web and even as SMS Text message to your phone.

*Works on Mac machines without camera too.
