Images

Every photo your traps send is kept in Images. You can look at one trap's photos or at photos from all your traps together.

Where to find your photos

One trap: open the trap and select its Images tab.
All traps: select Images in the main navigation. On the web app it is in the sidebar. In the mobile app it is a tab at the bottom of the screen.

In the app, Images always means photos. Captured is a different thing. It means an animal is in the trap.

Filters

Use the filter chips above the photos to narrow what you see.

In the mobile app, only the search field, a Filters button, and the photo type chips sit above the photos, so the photos start higher on the screen. Tap Filters to open a sheet with the rest: Animal in photo, species, date range, and traps.

A filter applies as soon as you tap it.
When filters in the sheet are on, the button shows how many, for example Filters (2).
Tap Show photos to close the sheet.
Tap Clear filters to reset every filter. If no photos match your filters, the empty screen offers Clear filters too.

Photo type

Chip	Shows
All	Every photo.
Captured	Photos taken when the trap captured an animal.
Motion	Photos taken when something set off the camera without a capture.
Scheduled & requested	Photos you requested and scheduled photos.

Animal in photo

The Animal in photo filter sorts photos by whether the automatic photo check found an animal.

Choice	Meaning
All photos	No filtering. This is the default.
Animal detected	The check found an animal in the photo.
No animal detected	The check ran and did not find an animal.
Not determined	The check could not tell, or the photo has not been checked.

This filter describes what the photo check saw in a picture. It does not confirm that an animal is in the trap, and it is not the same as a capture. For the trap's real state, look at the trap status.

Species

When any of your loaded photos has a species label, you can show only that species:

Web: the species are choices in the Animal in photo menu, under Species. Pick one to see only those photos. Pick All photos to clear it.
Mobile: the Filters sheet shows a row of species chips. Select a species, or All animals to clear the choice.

If none of your loaded photos has a species label yet, no species are offered.

Species labels are estimates

The app checks many photos automatically and may add a species label, such as a raccoon or an opossum.

The label is an automatic estimate. It can be wrong. Always look at the photo yourself before you act.
The label is never proof of a capture. Only the trap status tells you an animal is inside.
Photos without a label show no label at all. That is normal.
You cannot change a label yourself, but you can tell us when it is wrong. See Rate a species label.

When you open a photo in the viewer, a status line tells you how it was checked. The check is done by OcuTrapAI, and the line ends with its version, such as OcuTrapAI v1.13.0. You may see:

A species name with a percentage, such as "Raccoon · 87% confidence", followed by AI estimate by OcuTrapAI: the check suggested a species. The percentage is how confident it was.
A species name followed by confirmed by OcuTrap review: a person at OcuTrap looked at the photo and confirmed the species.
Animal detected · species uncertain: the check saw an animal but could not name it.
No species identified: the check ran and did not find a species it was confident about. A weak guess is not shown as a species.
Waiting for a photo check: the photo has not been checked yet.
Photo check failed: the check did not finish for this photo.
Not automatically checked: this kind of photo is not checked.

On the web app, the viewer can outline where the check found the animal. Select Hide boxes or Show boxes in the viewer toolbar, or press B, to turn the outline off or on. Your choice is remembered in that browser. The button appears only on photos that have an outline to show.

Rate a species label

Under the OcuTrapAI status line, the viewer asks Is this right? with Yes and No. It appears on the web app and in the mobile app, but only when OcuTrapAI has finished checking the photo: a species estimate, Animal detected · species uncertain, or No species identified. It is not shown on photos confirmed by OcuTrap review, photos waiting for a check, photos whose check failed, or photos that are not checked.

Select Yes if the result is right. Your answer is saved right away, and the line reads You said this is right.
Select No to open a short survey. Nothing is saved until you select Send. Select Cancel to close it without saving.

The survey asks What is wrong? The choices depend on the result:

Result	Choices
A species estimate	Wrong animal, No animal in this photo, Box is in the wrong place, Something else
Animal detected · species uncertain	I know which animal it is, No animal in this photo, Something else
No species identified	There is an animal, Something else

Box is in the wrong place is offered only on the web app, and only on photos that have an outline to show.

If you pick Wrong animal, I know which animal it is, or There is an animal, the survey then asks Which animal is it? Pick the animal from the list, or pick Other and type its name, or pick Not sure. You can add a short note on any answer. The note is required when you pick Something else.

After you send a report, the line reads Thanks. You reported: followed by a short summary. Select Change to give a different answer.

You give one answer per photo. A new answer replaces your earlier one.
A report does not change the label. The photo keeps its label, and your filters and Analytics stay the same, until a person at OcuTrap reviews it. After a review, the question is no longer shown. When the reviewer names a species, the status line says confirmed by OcuTrap review.

A low confidence percentage means the estimate is less reliable. Dark, blurry, or partly blocked photos are harder to label. See Camera for ways to improve image quality.

OcuTrap does not decide what to trap based on species. Any animal that enters can trigger a capture. See What animals is the OcuTrap designed for?.

The full-screen viewer

Select any photo to open it in the viewer. From there you can move to the next or previous photo and see the photo's type and species label.

Web

The viewer toolbar has these controls:

Zoom in and Zoom out.
Fit image and Actual pixels: switch between fitting the whole photo on screen and showing it at its real size.
Toggle fullscreen.
Delete image: shown only on photos from traps you own.
Close viewer.

Below the photo, the caption shows the OcuTrapAI status line and, on photos you can rate, Is this right? See Rate a species label.

A strip of small thumbnails along the bottom lets you jump between photos. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard.

Mobile

Swipe left or right to move between photos. Below the photo, the OcuTrapAI status line is followed by Is this right? on photos you can rate. See Rate a species label. The Delete image button is shown only on photos from traps you own.

The viewer shows the date and time the photo was taken and how long ago that was, for example "Oct 7, 2026, 6:42 PM · 3 days ago".

Tap View trap details to go to the trap the photo came from. The button is not shown when you opened the photo from that trap's own screen.

Request a new photo

To get a fresh photo from a trap, open the trap and use Request image for a good-quality photo or Quick image for a faster, lower-quality one. See Requesting photos.

Delete a photo

The owner of a trap can delete any of its photos from the viewer with Delete image. Deleting is permanent. See Deleting an image.
