# Hardware Features

Overview of the OcuTrap R1 hardware components and capabilities.

***

#### Connectivity

The OcuTrap connects via **4G LTE cellular** networks, providing nationwide coverage without the need for Wi-Fi or local network setup. Simply power on and the trap connects automatically.

***

#### Camera

The integrated camera provides a clear view inside the trap with:

* **Automatic night vision** — IR LEDs activate in low-light conditions
* **Adjustable image quality** — Choose from 6 resolution sizes
* **Image rotation** — 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270° to match your trap orientation
* **Timelapse photos** — Periodic images while armed (configurable interval)

***

#### Door

The door is powered by a **linear motor** for fast, reliable operation:

* **Close speed**: Less than 0.5 seconds
* **Open speed**: Less than 1 second
* **Remote control** — Open, close, and lock via the app
* **Manual control** — Button sequence on the device
* **Enhanced closing** — Optional double-close sequence for secure locking

***

#### Location

Track your trap location using the integrated **GPS module**:

* **Satellite positioning** — Displays number of satellites connected
* **Battery-optimized** — Updates every 8 hours by default
* **Map view** — See trap location on Map or Satellite view in the app
* **Automatic updates** — GPS triggered on capture events

***

#### Sensors

OcuTrap includes multiple sensors for monitoring and capture detection:

| Sensor                     | Function                                                          |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Time-of-Flight (ToF)**   | Detects animals entering the trap with millimeter precision       |
| **Temperature & Humidity** | Monitors internal conditions, sends alerts if thresholds exceeded |
| **Ambient Light**          | Detects darkness to activate night vision automatically           |
| **Accelerometer**          | Detects tilt and movement of the trap                             |

***

#### Audio & Haptic Feedback

* **Buzzer** — Audible beeps for button feedback and status indication
* **Vibration motor** — Haptic feedback for certain operations

***

#### Battery

Rechargeable **12V lithium-ion battery** for extended field deployment:

* **10,000 mAh capacity** — 3+ weeks runtime per charge
* **5,000 mAh variant** — Available for Canadian shipments (\~21 days runtime)
* **Low battery alerts** — Notifications at 20% and 10% levels
* **Auto-hibernation** — Protects battery when voltage drops too low

***

#### Accessory Port

**12V accessory port** for powering external devices:

* Connect dispensers, pumps, or other add-on hardware
* Configurable activation duration (0–30 seconds)
* Enable/disable via app settings

***

#### Smart Detection

Advanced capture detection with false-trigger prevention:

* **Dual-zone verification** — Objects must pass through detection zone before triggering
* **Rain/debris filtering** — Rejects oscillating readings from environmental interference
* **Consecutive reading requirement** — Prevents single-reading false triggers
* **Pre-capture alerts** — Optional notification when animals approach

***

#### Construction

* **Weather-resistant enclosure** — Built for outdoor field deployment
* **Dimensions**: 10" wide × 12" tall. Cage length is **32"** without the POD and with the door closed. The POD adds \~5"; with the door fully open, add ~~4" more (~~**41"** total length). See [Technical Specifications](/getting-started/technical-specifications.md) for details.
* **Weight**: 24 lbs (10.9 kg)
* **Target animals**: 5–25 lbs (cats, raccoons, opossums)

***
