Getting Started
Using the Mobile App
Download the OcuTrap mobile app, sign in, and turn on push notifications so you never miss a capture.
The OcuTrap mobile app gives you the same control as the web dashboard — manage traps, view captures, control the door, adjust settings, and see trap locations — from your phone. It's also how you receive push notifications the moment something happens.
Download the App
- iPhone / iPad (iOS): Download on the App Store
- Android: Get it on Google Play
Sign In
The mobile app uses the same account as the web app:
- If you already have an account, sign in with your existing email and password.
- New to OcuTrap? Create an account at app.ocutrap.com (or in the app), then see Adding a Trap to Your Account.
What You Can Do
The mobile app has the same features as the web dashboard. From the app you can:
- View live trap status and capture images.
- Open, close, arm, and unarm traps remotely.
- Adjust Trap Settings and Notification Settings.
- See trap locations on the map.
Turn On Push Notifications
Push notifications are the fastest way to know about a capture. Two things need to be on:
- In the app: open Notification Settings and turn on Push Notifications, then enable the Alert Types you care about (Target detected, Animal captured, Capture reminders, Low battery, Device alerts). See Notification Settings.
- On your phone: allow notifications for the OcuTrap app.
- iOS: Settings → Notifications → OcuTrap → Allow Notifications.
- Android: Settings → Apps → OcuTrap → Notifications.
If you're set up for push but not receiving alerts, the phone-level permission in the step above is the most common thing to check.
