Trap controls

Commands are sent from the Trap Controls bar on the trap detail screen — arm mode (Unarmed / Scouting / Armed), open/close door, request image, location, buzz, and (under Advanced) reboot and sleep. Battery, signal, temperature, last-heard, camera, and map are all shown on the same trap detail screen. See Trap Control for the full rundown.

Sharing

Share a trap from its Sharing tab: enter the email of the person you want to share with, and (if you're the owner) choose their manager level. You cannot share with yourself or double-share the same trap. Once they accept the emailed invite, the trap appears in their account. See Sharing Traps and User Levels for details.
