• SmartWater®
  SmartWater® Property Coding is a forensic colourless liquid solution that is simply dabbed onto the uneven surfaces of your valuables to deter theft. It can be used to code all sorts of items such as jewellery, ornaments, electrical items and even your sat nav. Each bottle contains a unique chemical 'code' which is registered to you - conclusively proving ownership. It cannot be easily seen by the naked eye and is almost impossible to remove. The liquid glows under ultraviolet light making it easy for the police to detect and is used in undercover operations to catch and convict criminals. Criminals know about SmartWater® and fear its power to forensically link them with the scene of a crime. So, by coding your valuables and displaying the SmartWater® deterrent signs, you are sending out a powerful warning to any thieves and burglars operating in your area
• Prey lets you keep track of your phone or laptop at all times, and will help you find it if it ever gets lost or stolen. It's lightweight, open source software, and free for anyone to use
