Out of the box, the kit will include an app for using the TRAKR as a motion-sensing alarm system, sounding a warning to intruders with its built-in speaker, as well as one for recording night vision video.<\/p>\n<p>The TRAKR will be available for $120, though you&#8217;ll have to wait until October to link up with other app-writing spies (and to download the Girls Locker Room routine).
