Manually taking an image

You can request a fresh photo of the inside of your trap at any time. Open the trap's detail screen — the most recent photo is shown as a large image (the camera view) with the trap's controls beside it.

To ask the trap for a new photo, use Request image. The trap captures a standard, full-quality photo and sends it to the app — the best choice for a clear look inside the trap. See Taking higher quality images.

In the mobile app, you can also choose Request quick image for a faster, lower-resolution photo — handy when you just need to check on something right now and don't need full detail.

After you request a photo, an Image incoming… indicator appears on the camera view while the trap captures and uploads the new image. It clears on its own once the fresh photo arrives.
