Tips and Tricks

Powering Off the Trap

When you're not using the trap, it's important to power it down properly. To do this, hold the power button until the device powers off. This ensures a clean disconnection from the network and helps protect the electronics for future use. Proper shutdown also prevents unnecessary drain on the battery and extends the trap's overall lifespan.

Animal Sensor

Testing the trap

This video shows how your OcuTrap works once it’s set up and ready to catch animals.

1. Arming the Trap: Using the mobile app, you’ll place the trap into “armed” mode, which activates the sensor system.

2. How the Sensor Works: The sensor projects a 20-degree field of view from the center of the pod into the trap, constantly monitoring for movement.

3. Trigger and Detection: When an animal moves through this detection zone, the system waits a few seconds to confirm the reading. This helps avoid false triggers.

4. Trap Activation: Once confirmed, the door closes automatically to capture the animal.
