## Capture Detection System

OcuTrap uses a sophisticated dual-zone verification system to prevent false triggers from rain, debris, or non-target movement.

### Detection Process

1. **Object enters Detection Zone** (300–450mm) → 3+ consecutive valid readings required
2. **Object verified** → Pre-capture alert sent (if enabled)
3. **Object enters Capture Zone** (0–250mm) → 3+ consecutive readings trigger capture
4. **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
