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"W × 12"H × 32"L

• Weight: 24 lbs (10.9 kg)

• Target animals: 5–25 lbs (cats, raccoons, opossums)
