Selecting your battery in the app: The R2 ships with the 5,200 mAh (56 Wh) 12 V 6-cell pack, which is the app default. R1 units sold in the US shipped with the 10,000 mAh (111 Wh) pack. Tell the app which one your trap uses under Settings → Battery Type. It adjusts the low-battery alert thresholds and level readout to match. R1 owners should check this setting, because the default assumes the 5,200 mAh pack. There are no manual voltage or percentage threshold controls; the app derives them from your Battery Type.

Capture Detection System

OcuTrap uses a two-step detection process to prevent false triggers from rain, debris, or non-target movement.

Detection Process

1. Animal enters the detection area (within ~34 in / 875 mm) → Steady readings required before proceeding
2. Pre-capture alert sent (if enabled)
3. Animal reaches capture distance (your preset, default ~8 in) → Door closes
4. Capture photo taken and transmitted

False Trigger Prevention

• Steady-readings check: Requires consistent presence before closing
• Rain and debris filtering: Ignores splashy or erratic movement
• Dirty-sensor detection: Blocks arming when the lens is obstructed
