Trap Control

Each trap's detail screen has a Trap Controls bar — a card that sets the trap's arm mode and sends commands to the device. (This replaces the older pop-up control panel.)

Arm mode

At the top of the controls is the arm-mode selector, a dropdown with three modes:

• Unarmed — the trap will not capture. It stays connected and responds to commands.
• Scouting — the trap takes photos and sends pre-capture alerts without closing the door. See Scouting Mode.
• Armed — the trap is ready to capture. See Arm & Un-arm Button.

Primary action

Below the arm mode is the main door control:

• Open door / Close door — moves the door. See Open & Closed Button.
• When the trap is Captured, the primary action becomes Disarm & release (returns to Unarmed and opens the door) with a Snooze option for the capture reminders. See After a Capture.

Quick actions

A row of quick actions handles the most common commands:

• Request Image — request a fresh photo from the camera. See Manually taking an image.
• Location — request an updated GPS location. See GPS.
• Buzz — sound the trap's buzzer, handy for locating the trap or confirming it's responsive.

Advanced

Expand Advanced for less-common, confirmation-gated commands:

• Reboot — restart the device.
• Sleep — put the trap into hibernation (sleeps until you press the power button or change the battery). See Power Modes.

Command status

After you send a command, a status line under the controls shows its progress — Sending…, then confirmed or failed, and Image incoming… when you request a photo — so you can tell the trap received your command.

Checking data, network, and charts

Device and network details live outside the controls bar, on the trap detail screen:

• Vitals — battery, signal, temperature, and Last heard. Select Last heard to Ping the trap (ask it to check in right now).
• Charts — graphical history of the trap's performance over time.
