26. ANTI-THEFT FEATURES
Bitdefender can help you locate your device and prevent your personal data
from getting into the wrong hands.
All you need to do is activate Anti-Theft from the device and, when needed,
access Bitdefender Central from any web browser, anywhere.
Even if you cannot access the internet, you can still protect your device and
data by sending SMS commands from any mobile phone to your smartphone
through regular text messages.
Bitdefender Mobile Security offers the following Anti-Theft features:
Remote Location
View your device's current location on Google Maps. The location is
refreshed every 5 seconds, so you can track it if it is on the move.
The accuracy of the location depends on how Bitdefender is able to
determine it:
● If the GPS is enabled on the device, its location can be pinpointed to
within a couple of meters as long it is in the range of GPS satellites
(i.e. not inside a building).
● If the device is indoors, its location can be determined to within tens
of meters if Wi-Fi is enabled and there are wireless networks available
in its range.
● Otherwise, the location will be determined using only information from
the mobile network, which can offer an accuracy no better than several
hundred meters.
Show IP

Send alert to device (Scream)
