Here's how it works.
First is you need to create free account on preyproject.com. The free account can track 3 devices. If you require to add more devices, then you may have to purchase to their packages. Refer to prey site (http://preypoject.com) for packages and price listing.
Second, assuming you have already created a PREY account, download and install the prey client app on your laptop, phone or tablet. Visit the prey site for the installer. The prey client app is very lightweight app that barely consume a memory or processing power and runs on every OS (Mac, Linux. Windows, Andriod and iOS).
The client app is responsible for sending signal and information to the prey server. Once the prey client app is installed, you run the client app and follow the instruction to register your device on the prey server.
