Using the mobile app
Download the OcuTrap mobile app, sign in, and turn on push notifications so you never miss a capture.
On this page
The OcuTrap mobile app gives you the same control as the web dashboard from your phone. Manage traps, view captures, control the door, adjust settings, and see trap locations. The app also sends push notifications when 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, 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. If that looks right and alerts still don't arrive, try Resetting the mobile app.
