Why OcuTrap is Different from Other Traps

Why OcuTrap is Different from Other Traps

In a world where most animal traps are still built around outdated designs and guesswork, OcuTrap stands out as the modern solution. It’s not just a trap — it’s a smart, connected tool built for professionals who want more control, better results, and safer, more humane wildlife management.

1. Remote Release and Monitoring

Unlike traditional cage traps that require constant on-site checks, OcuTrap offers remote monitoring and remote release via cellular and Wi-Fi. You’ll know the moment a trap is triggered and can even see what’s inside before making a trip. If it’s a non-target animal, like a cat or squirrel, you can release it from your phone — no drive required.

2. Built-In Camera with Night Vision

OcuTrap includes a night vision camera that captures a live photo inside the trap, day or night. This means no more opening the trap blindly or waiting until morning to find out what was caught. You get visual confirmation, instantly, directly in your app or dashboard.

3. Smart Sensor Suite

Each OcuTrap is equipped with advanced sensors to detect movement, orientation, and even animal presence. The time-of-flight sensor detects depth, helping confirm whether the animal is still inside. This eliminates the guesswork and reduces false positives.

4. Designed for Humane Control

With OcuTrap, you can avoid unnecessary harm to non-target animals. Whether you’re using it for Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), wildlife relocation, or general pest control, the ability to release animals remotely makes the process more ethical and less stressful—for both you and the animal.

5. Cellular and GPS Connectivity

OcuTrap isn’t limited by Wi-Fi range. It uses LTE-M cellular networks and GPS to provide real-time location and status updates—even in remote or rural areas. You’ll always know where your trap is and what it’s doing.

6. Rugged and Weatherproof

Built for professionals, OcuTrap is designed to withstand the elements. The electronics are housed in a waterproof, impact-resistant enclosure that keeps everything protected—even in rain, snow, or heat.

7. Easy to Use, Built for Scale

Managing multiple traps is simple with the OcuTrap platform. Each trap is tracked in a dashboard where you can view battery life, signal strength, capture history, and more. This allows for streamlined operations across multiple sites or teams.

8. Saves Time, Fuel, and Labor

With traditional traps, every potential capture means a drive. OcuTrap drastically cuts down on trips by giving you all the data you need remotely. That’s fewer miles, less fuel, and more efficient scheduling.

OcuTrap Isn’t Just a Trap — It’s a Smarter Way to Work

Whether you're a wildlife control operator, conservationist, or city animal services team, OcuTrap gives you the power to make better decisions, faster. It’s modern trapping made humane, efficient, and scalable.
