As it is, Caveo Anti-Theft's voice mode calls each motion aloud when accepted, and a keen observer could steal the password. Motions would be better acknowledged as vibrations or beeps. On the other hand, only a voice should warn that one is exceeding a perimeter. A voice can tell a thief that the PC is responding to being moved and what that means. Caveo promises a fix.
Good security requires deterrence and response.
So it's safe to assume that Caveo will seek a big-name partner in security branding whose logo will encourage miscreants to leave laptops where they find them. Inc. All rights reserved. Inc.
