# Advanced Settings

> **Note:** After changing any advanced settings, a reboot of the trap is recommended to ensure all changes are applied correctly.

***

#### Temperature Alerts

Enables or disables alerts when the trap temperature goes outside the configured range. When enabled, the trap will periodically evaluate temperature readings and send alerts if thresholds are exceeded.

The selected interval determines how often temperature alerts can be sent.

***

#### Temperature Alert Thresholds

Defines the temperature limits that trigger alerts. These values use the selected unit system, shown as Imperial in the interface.

**Above Upper Limit**

Sets the maximum allowable temperature. An alert is sent if the internal trap temperature rises above this value.

**Below Lower Limit**

Sets the minimum allowable temperature. An alert is sent if the internal trap temperature falls below this value.

***

#### Capture Alerts

Controls notifications related to capture events.

**Capture Alerts Interval**

Defines the minimum amount of time between capture alerts. This helps prevent repeated notifications for the same capture event or ongoing activity.

***

#### Image Cropping

Adjusts how images are cropped before being processed or uploaded. Cropping can be used to remove unnecessary areas of the image, reduce file size, or focus on a specific region inside the trap.

**Left Crop**

Removes a portion of the image from the left side.

**Right Crop**

Removes a portion of the image from the right side.

**Top Crop**

Removes a portion of the image from the top.

**Bottom Crop**

Removes a portion of the image from the bottom.
