Trap Trigger

Checking traps is the same problem as checking troughs: a long drive, mostly to find nothing. The OGLAS Trap Trigger sensor tells you the instant a trap fires, so you only make the trip when there’s a reason to — and you make it quickly.

What it does

• Detects activation — a switch or sensor on the trap mechanism fires the moment it’s triggered.
• Alerts immediately — straight to your hub, the bell, the cab display, or your phone via Cloud.
• Time-stamps and locates — when it fired, and (with GPS) which trap, so you go straight to it.
• Runs for months — it sleeps and waits for a single event, so battery life is measured in seasons.

Why it matters

For pest and feral control, a sprung trap left for days is both ineffective and inhumane. Knowing within minutes means you can dispatch or release quickly, and reset the trap so it’s working again sooner.

Hardware

A simple trigger input (reed, microswitch, or tilt) on an ultra-low-power OGLAS node with optional GPS, in a sealed enclosure on or beside the trap. Battery + small solar.

Pairs well with

• Vehicle Track — the trip alert lands on the cab display while you’re already out.
• Bell — an audible notice at the homestead.
• Video — confirm what’s in the trap, and what species are about, before you drive out.
