Let's fight vehicle thieves!

After installing and running this application you will need a WatchDog Alarm System Client application (Usually installed on another phone) to operate it. You can get the client from Google store at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abware.watchdog_client
This agent application along with the client application, constitute an advanced vehicle mobile alarm system.

What can WatchDog alarm system do?
=============================
1. Lock your vehicle and send alert when someone moves or shakes it
2. Locate your vehicle's current location - and show it on a map
3. Track your vehicle - show your vehicle's location on a map continually
4. Navigate - using "Waze" or any other navigation application installed
5. Spy - Try to get information about the thief

How to make it work in 1 minute
========================
1. Get an old smart phone running android 2.3 or higher
2. Install and run a watchdog agent (this) software on it
3. On your day to day smart phone (running android 3.1 or later), install & run Watchdog Client application
4. When the watchdog Client runs for the first time, type the watchdog agent phone number. this will trigger a connection process. wait until it finishes and the dialog closes.

That's it. The system is up & running.

* if you don't have 2 phones, you can check the system's functionality by installing both the agent & client software on the same device. Later on when you get the other phone, install only the agent application on it and re-connect the client to the new phone
