TrapSensor vs Owl Sentry

TrapSensor is a rat trap with electronics inside which constantly monitors the trap status. TrapSensor notifies you via push, email and/or text message whenever the trap shuts. This app lets you manage your device settings and also monitor your traps 24/7. TrapSensor units are waterproof and battery driven. With this app, you can easily set up and configure your TrapSensor units. You can edit which email addresses and phone numbers notifications should be sent to. In addition, you can set a time for daily notification messages. Daily notification messages summarize the status of all of your traps in one message. The TrapSensor units communicate with the TrapSensor server. You can see the live status of all of your traps in your online profile. The server also monitors expected daily control messages from the units and notifies you immediately if such a message is not received.
