Having now caught paranoid mouse, I decided to the use the MPZ IR Sentinel as my main trap, because the mice did not seemed to be scared and of it in any way. I also switched over to a Raspberry Pi Zero for the recording of the footage, so that I did not have to stream HD video and over the network. As can be seen, the Sentinel performed it's duties with the utmost efficiency and another mouse ended up getting it's marching orders. You can also see that the manufacturers trap had failed again, because the mouse seemed to not like something about it, even though you could see that it had detected the bait, while it had no problem walking towards the bait that was under my trap. Isn't it a shame that you cannot get a trap like this in the shops, so most people are still going to have to rely on the manufacturers traps, with their accompanying slowness, while I now have a way of quickly dispatching any mice that manage to make their way into the house.
I am using a raspberry pi to capture the infra red video and I am using the raspberry pi ssh service to tunnel the video stream, from raspivid to my main pc. I am running a minimal Raspbian on the Raspberry pi and I am using an infra red camera that I bought from Ebay. The Trap is powered by an Arduino nano with nrf24l01 wireless radio, which can be used to trigger the trap remotely, but the remote trigger was not needed in this video. I am running the Arduino nano rf24 library on the microcontroller, to transfer the sensor data when I was first running it, while I was trying out the various ways to detect the mouse.
