If the lock device feature is implemented or can be.. this would be a perfect replacement for T&P.

Thanks a lot dude
Screeshot does not work, see my reply a few posts back for the reason.

for geolocation prey is not using WiFi, but the default source in QGeoPositionInfoSource from a python script.

The device should be connected to internet either through GPRS or WiFi, for prey to work. Currently, prey periodically checks the control panel for status change using a daemon. Other methods of triggering can also be considered

Regarding locking: does anyone know how to lock the device from terminal? If that is possible, i can include implement in the next release
