iAlertU - The Mac Car Alarm

[Chase817]

iAlertU is basically a car alarm for your Apple Mac. iAlertU uses the built in sudden motion sensor to detect movement of your MacBook and triggers an audible and visual alarm. The alarm can also be triggered in a variety of other customizable ways. It even has been made to continue sounding even after the MacBook screen has been closed!
iAlertU can be activated and deactivated using the remote included with every MacBook computer. Adjustable settings let you decide which type of alarm triggers you would like to use, the duration of the alarm, and motion sensor sensitivity.


iAlertU also features functionality which utilizes the built in iSight camera to photograph the thief and then email the photo to a user specified email address.

I love this app, I don't really use it though, maybe every once in a while for fun.

Still pretty cool though.

is it possible to use the iPhone as the remote since the apple remote does not come with the laptop anymore?
