TrapTap is a simple and stylish wireless button that warns you of speed traps, red light cameras, and school zones by flashing different colors. Best yet, it has a 2-year battery life!

It already knows the location of every red light camera and school zone but relies on its community of users to mark the location of mobile and radar traps. 


TrapTap is completely legal (not a radar detector) and acts like your personal co-pilot, constantly warning you of danger. To us, he is like our little buddy who always sits shotgun. It simply sits on your dash and is designed to save you cash.




The purchase of 1 TrapTap is far less than the cost of 1 speeding ticket. The average person spends $300 in tickets or more a year. That is a life savings of over $12,000!

Even if you don't get a lot of tickets, TrapTap could save you the possibility of getting that "surprise" ticket when you least expect it. 



With being dangerous and illegal to use mobile apps while driving, we found a better way to save you from those speeding tickets and add some safety in your life.

How To Use

TrapTap adapts to fit your lifestyle. Have it blink when you come near a trap or only if you're speeding near one.


To set a trap, double tap your TrapTap. 


Same goes for clearing traps that are no longer there. Just tap it twice.


Simply "snooze" your TrapTap alerts by clicking the top button once.


Your TrapTap is connected to your phone and uses its GPS and the TrapTap app to send the device notifications. Connect the free app once and never have to touch it again.




Your TrapTap comes with a reusable sticky pad. You can stick it almost anywhere in your car. 



 

Easily move it from car to car.


 Available Colors

You will be able to customize your TrapTap and select accessories in an email survey that will be sent after you complete your purchase. 

 

Limited Edition Colors


Mounting Accessories

Your TrapTap comes with a reusable sticky pad, but these great accessories make it even easier to move and mount your TrapTap anywhere:



Well simply speaking, you and everyone who has a TrapTap is officially apart of the TrapTap Army. Congratulations Private! "Salute"

We rely on you and the community to help warn drivers of those mobile speed and radar traps. We know the location of each red light camera and school zone, and rely on each other to help find the rest.

How do you compare?

They say the average cops issues $300,000 worth of speeding tickets each year... Yikes.

Our team has spent months building, testing, and perfecting TrapTap to get to the design we have today. Our journey has been epic (with a few speeding tickets for testing) and below you can see how we progressed through our different prototype stages to finally bring you TrapTap. 


Version 1
Version 1


In October, we partnered with a design firm that has built products sold in Apple stores with manufacturing facilities in Winnipeg and Texas. We spent numerous hours testing and recalibrating as you can see below.




After finding the right design and sourcing out the correct components and LED's, we finally had a product ready for production.

FAQ

  • What is TrapTap?
TrapTap is a dash-mounted indicator that warns you of any speed trap, red light camera trap, or school zone.

  • How does my TrapTap work?
TrapTap uses Bluetooth Low-energy (BLE) to communicate with your smartphone and the free app and its mapping software on your phone.

  • How big is it?
TrapTap has a diameter of 2.3" and is about 0.5" thick

  • Is it legal?
Yes, TrapTap is 100% legal in North America since it does not use any radar detecting technologies. It relies on you and everyone else to help mark any cop or mobile speed trap not already tracked.

  • Are there any laws confirming its legality?
A federal judge in the States passed a law recently allowing apps and similar devices to warn drivers of speed traps: bit.ly/1lvPkHL

  • Does it work in my city?
We have mapped each TrapTap to work in 64 countries. Odds are your location has been mapped.

  • Will it work if no one else in my city has it yet?
Yes! We only crowdsource mobile speed traps and cop radar traps. This requires more users to be more effective, but until then, your TrapTap will work for all other red light cameras, school zones, speed limit reminder, and frequent trap areas since these are pre-mapped and kept up-to-date on your device.

  • How will you keep these red light cameras and school zones up to date?
We have hired a third party team who monitors and scrapes your cities data to keep this constantly updated.

  • How long does the battery last?
We have optimized the battery life to last as long as possible. For most use-cases it will last up to 2 years. But just in case, your TrapTap still has a replaceable battery. Just open the back and replace it with regular coin cell batteries.

  • How can TrapTap have such a long battery life?
TrapTap works passive mode where it will be turned off all the time until it connects to your phone.

  • How many TrapTap's can I have to one device?
Each smartphone will be able to connect to a maximum of 2 TrapTaps.

  • How do I attach my TrapTap to a surface?
TrapTap comes with a double sided adhesive so you can stick it to any surface. If it gets dirty, just wash it with soap and it will be as good as new. We also offer many magnetic mounting accessories.

  • How many functions can I perform with my TrapTap?
You can perform two different functions for TrapTap – Click (silence a trap) and Double Click (set/remove a trap).

  • Will you offer any other mounting types?
Yes, we offer multiple ways to mount your TrapTap. Choose between the magnetic car vent, 360º magnetic swivel, and the flat magnetic mount.

  • How do I mount it to my motorcycle?
We are in the process of creating the perfect mount for all you motorcyclers. 2017 Release.

  • Will there be color options?
There are many different color options to choose from. Please see campaign above to view colors.

  • What phones does it work on?
TrapTap will work on IOS and Android.

  • Do I have to connect my phone every time?
No! Your TrapTap knows your phone and will automatically connect each time you enter your car. Now that's hands-free!

  • Are there apps that already do this?
Yes there are other apps that do this. However, this is hands-free and not distracting (much easier than always having to launch an app). You won't get a ticket if caught using this since it is safer than using a phone.

  • What about radar detectors or GPS units?
TrapTap offers a solution that is both inexpensive and not illegal. Plus camera locations are constantly updated with no need to plug in, download, and update your device.

  • I’m worried about my privacy. How does TrapTap handle my data? Do they see any information about my location?
We don’t store or share any location data on our server. It’s a one-way stream - We compare current location of the user to a series of points of interests that are streamed to the device.

  • Can I still use TrapTap if I have other Bluetooth connected devices?
Yes you can! Your TrapTap will still be able to work alongside your smart watch, car's Bluetooth sync, wireless speakers, etc.
