Trap alarm MinkPolice MP10
The MinkPolice MP10 trap alarm is a modern addition that should be used on any trap. Besides the fact a trap needs to be (legally) checked at certain intervals, there’s also the humane aspect of knowing immediately when you’ve trapped an animal, keeping its stressful captivity as short as possible.
You can use the MinkPolice MP10 trap alarm in two ways:
- With a magnet on a cord that’ll release when the trap is activated
- With the built-in tilt sensor
To make the MinkPolice MP10 trap alarm ready for use by installing the four included lithium batteries. Don’t use alkaline batteries, as these could go leaking over time. The screws of the shockproof and weather proof housing are made of plastic, so use a well fitting screwdriver and don’t overdo the torque. There’s a pre-installed SIM-card in the trap alarm, but you can also use your own.
After this, you can registrate your MinkPolice MP10 trap alarm by creating an account on the MinkPolice App or on their website. That’s free for the first year, after that a registration will be around an annual € 25,-. You can name your alarm and set if it’s used as a magnet alarm or tilt alarm. When it’s all set, you will receive a push message on your smartphone or an e-mail (multiple addresses possible) the moment the trap is activated. For additional costs, you can also opt for a text message. By means of your account, you’ll also be able to remotely install new firmware. Nice feature is the fact you can also set a feeding alarm.
The MinkPolice MP10 trap alarm comes with adjustable antenna, a magnet and two snap hooks to attach to a wire. When you use a predominantly metal trap or have placed the trap in an place with low receptance, there’s an optional high gain antenna with a 75 cm extension cord that can be placed a bit further away from the trap. The alarm is suitable for the 2G GSM network, but also for NB-LoT and LTE.CAT-M1. This multi-network technology makes it reliable and future proof.
