Retina-X Studios has recently launched the application called RecoveryCop for Windows Mobile devices. Touted as the “thief’s worst nightmare,” RecoveryCop runs as a background app, in the “stealth mode.” Once started, it allows users to monitor every move, action and sound of the device even if a new SIM card is inserted.
This Microsoft certified software for Windows Mobile goes beyond conventional means of theft recovery and monitoring. While the software gives the usual SIM card change alerts and GPS tracking, it gives the user many more tools to catch the thief by monitoring every activity that happens on the phone. The user can even turn on the microphone of the device to listen to the thief’s surroundings for a better clue as to where the device is.
Moreover, RecoveryCop enables users to interact with their device using SMS commands or by logging into a special website, where they can view various logged activity from the device such as sent and received SMS, IP addresses, call information, and International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI).
In addition to monitoring features, data security functions are also included in the mix. As a result, users can completely erase personal data from the phone at any time or remotely locked the device.
Interested? RecoveryCop works on all smartphones or Pocket PC’s running Windows Mobile 6.x, and you can get more information from the official website.
