Once installed, Lock It Tight tracks your laptops location every hour or so (this is a customizable setting). From any computer, log in to your Lock It Tight account to see your laptops location on Google Maps.
Besides location tracking, Lock It Tight takes a screen capture and Web cam capture every two hours. If your laptop is stolen, these pictures, combined with location tracking, can help the police recover your laptop.
According to Laptop Repair Hong Kong for a free service, Lock It Tight is excellent. There is no doubt this service will help recover some devices, and this layer of protecting is certainly worth installing. However, location tracking services can really only deter stupid criminalsrather like airport security. Once the laptops hard drive is wiped clean, the service does no good in tracking the laptop. Plus, if the laptops power is off, the service cannot work.
