Requesting photos

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 appears as a large image (the camera view) with the trap's controls beside it. There's no separate step to open the camera view.

Request a photo

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. Use this option to confirm what's inside or check image clarity.

You can also choose Quick image for a faster, lower-quality photo. Use it when you need a quick check without full detail. Both buttons are in the Quick actions row of the trap's controls, on web and mobile.

After you request a photo, a status pill on the camera view follows the trap's own progress: Camera starting…, Capturing image…, Image incoming…, then Processing image… while the photo is assembled in the cloud. It clears on its own once the fresh photo arrives. If the trap reports Image failed, give the camera a moment and request the image again.

Browse past images

From the camera view you can:

• Tap the image to open it in the full-screen viewer
• Use the Images tab to see earlier photos. See Images for filters, species labels, and the viewer.

If images look too dark, washed out, or blurry, see Camera for light-switching settings and fixes.
