Track Your Stolen Notebook with Micro LNTS
Micro Technologies (India), developer, manufacturer and marketer of IT-based security solutions, has designed a new software that can locate stolen laptops by leveraging the World Wide Web.
The newly launched software known as “Micro LNTS” (Lost Notebook Tracking System) can be installed on notebook hard drives where it subsequently works in stealth mode. In an event of theft, the software is activated and silently connects with the company's monitoring center, whenever the notebook is connected to the Internet. Users can log into their Web-based personal tracking and monitoring page to trace from where the laptop has been accessed. Users can log into their Web-based personal tracking and monitoring page to trace from where the laptop has been accessed.
According to Dr. P. Sekhar, chairman and managing director of Micro Technologies, "LNTS is just the incidental name. It is also a manageability tool for files and folders as well as a parental control system for tracking the online activities done by children. The system can be used to keep a check on the number of hours children spend on the Internet and what kind of websites they visit."
LNTS also offers other management tools such as sending out regular emails for notebook activity, hide the documents that carry vital information, date-wise storage of data, login intimation on mobile and email, remotely monitoring of user specified URL/Document, and getting the list of installed software.
However, not unlike other security and tracking systems, it too suffers from a drawback – if a thief formats the hard drive of the notebook before connecting to the Internet, the software will be deleted from the system.
The software is available in three different models including LNTS-Elite and Premium for individual users, and Micro LNTS-Corporate Micro LNTS. The Elite model is priced at Rs 600, whereas the Premium costs Rs 1,500.
