Adding a trap to your account

You add ("activate") a trap from the OcuTrap app at app.ocutrap.com or in the mobile app. Have the trap with you so you can read its ID labels, and make sure your email is verified first — until it is, the Activate button is disabled and explains why (use Resend verification email if needed). If you leave the wizard to verify your email, your progress is saved, so you can pick up where you left off.

What you'll need

The app asks for two identifiers:

• Trap ID — the human-readable label on the sticker on your trap (for example OCT-002841).
• Device ID — the cellular module's ID. Find it on the device sticker inside the POD (on mobile the helper text reads "printed on the cellular module inside your trap").

Support may ask for either — they refer to the same device.

Activate a trap (web)

1. Sign in at app.ocutrap.com.
2. Open Add trap to start the add-trap wizard. It has four steps: Identify, Cellular plan, Site & location, Confirm.
3. Identify — enter your Trap ID and Device ID.
4. Cellular plan — choose Monthly or Annual.
5. Site & location — give the trap a name and set its location.
6. Confirm — review the summary and tap Activate trap.
7. When activation completes, the app opens the new trap's page and shows an amber Start your free trial callout. Your 30-day free trial begins when you set up billing at checkout — not at activation — so open the trap's Billing page from that callout to start it. Until the device connects for the first time, a Waiting for first check-in note appears on the trap page; it clears automatically once the trap checks in, usually within a few minutes.

Activate a trap (mobile)

1. Open the OcuTrap mobile app and sign in.
2. Tap Add trap.
3. Enter a Name and the Device ID, and optionally a location.
4. Tap Create Trap. Set up billing afterward from the trap's Billing screen — your 30-day free trial starts when you set up billing at checkout, not at activation.
