Live Rat Trap Cam! Supports all browsers

Watch me catch a rat that has invaded my garage.

Angie got me a new Panasonic internet camera for Christmas. Unlike the Halloween/Christmas cam, this one supports just about every browser. :-) So, my Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc. friends, be sure to check THIS cam out.

To access the camera now, go to http://kevin619.gotdns.com:8001/CgiStart?page=Single&Language=0

Note that this is slightly different URL that my previous cams.

Username: ratcam
Password: slacker

I've turned off the panning function this time as I want to keep the camera focused on the trap. The camera will notify me via email when it detects motion. It will also save video of the action in a buffer for me to watch (and post) later.

I'm using peanut butter for bait.

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and

You need to put it closer to the wall. They walk with their whiskers and won't step on anything if they're smart. You might catch one that is dumb but his dead body teaches the others to not step on things that look like traps.

Still no rat.... :(

I think the lights are keeping Mr. Rat away. You need IR lighting.

Too cool I think I zoomed in and got in the peanut butter sorry.

°John° says:

Dude.... your trap has been tested. And shit upon. You've been pwned by a rat.
Posted 13 months ago. ( permalink )

Snowfire11Ro says:

Not only has it been tested, but its being walked on by some black bugs and I think (but can't tell for sure) that some of those same black bugs have died in and around the trap as well . . .

slworking2 says:

cell105: Yeah. Right now this ordeal is about as exciting as fishing. :-)

just.peachy: Oh...my garage looks like a typical garage - John's garage looks nicer than some peoples' living rooms (not mine, but some people live like slobs).

hoosierguy: LMAO! About 20 minutes ago, I decided to sprinkle some birdseed on the trap. :-) And LOL at your chop of my head on a mouse!

Florian: Thanks! I wish some others would have Digged it. :-/

tico78: Thanks. :-)

John: Oh, I'll give you and others back panning capability once the rat is caught and I pic a new location for the cam. Oh, and some little brown ants(?) have started crawling around the peanut butter. The bigger chunks are birdseed.

K-FREE: Thanks man! :-) This shot does have 169 views as I type this comment.

JKS: It all depends. I think the rat may too smart - or not hungry enough yet.

Snowfire: Thanks. =D

BLOOD: BLOODy funny, isn't it? :-)

Drewzer: Not yet. Hopefully soon.

Florian: I may switch to IR lighting tomorrow night if I still haven't caught the bastard.

Deacon: Thanks.

J/G: LOL and thanks.

Art: LOL. The rat shat on it and left. :-( J/K, I sprinkled some birdseed on the trap - the birdseed is what the rat originally got into.

slworking2 says:

Can any experts here tell me whether the bright light - which illuminates the subject very well for the camera - might also be scaring the rat away? Perhaps I need to try a different bait? Be more patient?

slworking2 says:

Whoa! Holy crap! I was watching TV with Angie and just now checked your texts to me. Damn! The camera was SUPPOSED to detect the motion (actually heat) and record a video of it, but it didn't. Well, at least the rat was caught!
Posted 13 months ago. ( permalink )

slworking2 says:

Art: Yeah, I'm going to set the motion detection to a much more sensitive level for round 2.

You nailed him!

slworking2 says:

Art: Still no new catches. I think patching the hole in the wall around the gas meter has managed to keep the rats out.

K-FREE: NP. :-)

Bill: Indeed. :-)
