Hello all,

Since I have two cats that are useless at catching mice I have had to make
other arrangements to catch the rodent(s).

Could someone please check to see if the cam is streaming ok?

Thanks!

Very difficult to do without knowing the URL.

Both Javascript and Java are required. Ordinarily, I would expect a
clock or something similar in a picture if one wanted to know if it
were streaming or static.

Adblock in Firefox blocks it so I really can't tell without switching
to IE. There are better ways to do it.

I'm all ears, which way would you suggest?

Best methods vary with the type of camera. We use stand-alone
webcams, and I route the normal stream through a proxy if the camera
is on a secure subnet, otherwise, I just pass out the URL.

Hi Clock:

Are you sure that mousetrap is absolutely not where cat or cat tail
could accidentally reach? It would break a paw or tail vertebrae in a
snap.

No, it's not accessable at all because there is a lower cover on the front
of the oven that hooks in very securely plus the cats don't have access to
that part of the house anyway.

Because we have cats and I don't want the mouse to suffer a lingering death
I don't want to us poison either.
