About this app
PhotoTrap is an easy-to-use application that turns your spare smartphone into a security and surveillance system for:
· office and home protection,
· baby and pet monitoring,
· territory surveillance,
· car security,
· nature observation,
and other
Use your phone as a regular IP camera or as a hunting camera:
- connect from your pocket smartphone to the PhotoTrap for Live video surveillance. Take pictures and record video during video surveillance
- arm / disarm the PhotoTrap. In armed mode, the PhotoTrap takes photos or record a video when motion is detected, instantly notifies the user and sends taken photo or video to an Email and/or Google Drive
- receive photos or videos at any time by remote control request
- full-time video recording 24/7 creates a video archive containing all events at the facility. The footage is saved to a safe place - to Email and / or Google Drive
- adjust camera parameters according to your needs: resolution, zoom, night-mode, flash
- eco mode allows the PhotoTrap (without using the built-in video motion detector) to work for several days or even weeks (depending on the battery condition) without being connected to the charger. Suitable for monitoring non-electrified objects, in the forest.
- connect an external sensor to detect motion or other events (smoke, vibration, door opening, etc.). Using an external sensor instead of the built-in video motion detector allows you to reduce the number of false alarms and use the eco mode
- the built-in video motion detector allows detecting movement without using external sensors. It has adjustable sensitivity and 2 modes of operation: "indoors" and "outdoors". In outdoor mode, you select the zones to trigger the detector, excluding the zones that cause false alarms, such as the swaying tree. The outdoor video motion detector provides a detection range of up to 30 meters or more in the daytime.
- Use extra features of the PhotoTrap:
- time-lapse, e.g. photographing every 5 minutes
- instant notification about connecting / disconnecting the phone to the charger. Can be used to control home power network
- remotely control the PhotoTrap from the Console (from another phone)
- view and work with the received photos and videos in the PhotoGallery: zoom photos, adjust brightness / contrast, easily delete empty images.
PhotoTrap does not use unreliable private cloud to send / receive / store photos and videos, for this it uses the Email service of a reliable public provider (e.g. @gmail.com, @outlook.com), as well as Google Drive. The application does not require unnecessary permissions, does not request your account data.

I had high hopes for this app. I had it set to 24-hour mode (at max resolution and video archive max size not limited). I changed the settings so that it would save videos in 15-minutes segments to my Google drive. My phone was on a tripod facing the window, while charging. It ran for about 11 hours, and saved none of it. It's not in the app's video archive, not in my gallery, and not in my google drive.

it is a great app. It does what it says, it is not hard on my battery, I love it. I shopped for a trail cam but they all use SD cards, this doesn't. I need this, to feel secure, I didn't think a phone could do it, but this works, it's excellent. Small download size, which I like, and I would not be upset if they added a mb or two, for instructions, on the next version. Great product!

This is a wonderful app that is compact and simple to use. So far I have used it to photograph and take videos of my bird feeder. I tried to take timelapse of my backyard during the day (trying to track sunlight to see best place to place my potted plants). It works, however it takes individual pictures. I request that in addition to individual pictures, the app allows the pictures to be "stictched" together to be played back as a film (have both individual pics and timelapse movie). I can see using this mode on my bike ride. I can see other uses for this app such as using on road trips, monitoring my front yard and even watchting plants grow. Thanks so much!
