Where Does Prey Store Device Reports?
Prey keeps device inventory, location reports, and protection status in your account with agents phoning home. Mark missing to trigger tracking.
Last updated
Prey tracks fleets in the account cloud. Enrolled devices with agents report location, status, and inventory to the panel on schedule. Missing mode escalates reporting with evidence collection.
That makes enrollment the setup with the panel as the archive. Exact behaviors may vary by version and OS limits. Test missing mode yearly; dead agents help nobody during real theft. Geofences alert zone exits. Camouflage hides the agent icon. Control zones group fleets. Evidence exports bundle reports.

Frequently asked questions
Do devices sync to a new account login?
Yes for device lists and reports on login across web and mobile. Agents report per schedule. Reinstalls need re-enrollment per device. Test missing mode yearly.
How do I track a stolen laptop?
Flip the device to missing in the panel to start frequent reports with location, photos, and lock options. File police reports with the evidence exports. Remote wipe stays the last resort.
