Capture Detection System
OcuTrap uses a sophisticated dual-zone verification system to prevent false triggers from rain, debris, or non-target movement.
Detection Process
Object enters Detection Zone (300–450mm) → 3+ consecutive valid readings required
Object verified → Pre-capture alert sent (if enabled)
Object enters Capture Zone (0–250mm) → 3+ consecutive readings trigger capture
Door closes → Capture photo taken and transmitted
False Trigger Prevention
Signal quality filtering — Validates signal-to-ambient ratio (optimized for outdoor sunlight)
Distance consistency checks — ±20mm tolerance rejects oscillating readings
Rain detection — Oscillation patterns identified and filtered
Status validation — Only Status 0 (valid measurement) readings accepted
