Find the main and advanced settings for notifications, capture distance, images, the battery, accessories, sensors, and temperature alerts.
Deep dives on door closing, pre-capture alerts, and capture-distance / sensor behavior. For the full list of knobs in the app UI, see Settings in the App.
Main Settings
On the main trap settings page, you can:
- Set Notifications: Choose how you want to receive alerts for errors, captures, and important events.
- Adjust Capture Distance: Set how far inside the trap an animal must be to trigger the door.
- Change Image Size: Select the photo resolution for captured images.
Trap name and Notes are edited from the trap detail top bar (not Settings). Map position uses Set location (pin or address).
Advanced / More Settings
By clicking More Settings, you can access advanced configuration options, including:
- Battery Type: Select which battery your trap uses (5,200 mAh or 10,000 mAh). The app adjusts the low-battery alert thresholds to match your pack automatically.
- Accessory Controls: Set the accessory port on-duration, 0 to 30,000 ms. 0 means off.
- Enhanced Door Closing : Improve lock reliability by enabling automatic door re-locking.
- Pre-capture Notifications: Get alerts and images when an animal nears the trap, before capture
- Distance limits, sensor alerts & errors: App preset table, 6 in expanded zone, dirty-sensor arm gate + 5 min retry
- Camera Controls: Set up time lapse, image quality, and night vision thresholds.
- Sensor Settings: Adjust capture distance and infrared brightness.
- Temperature Alerts: Turn temperature alerts on or off. (Battery alerts are always on, with thresholds set automatically from your Battery Type. There are no manual battery voltage or percentage controls.)
Adjust these settings for each trap. Changes apply when the trap is connected, usually in about 1-5 minutes.
