Try Shooter where they used a remote controlled sentinal sniper rifle.
To the original poster.... it is very doable but why. It will probably be as expensive as it is time consuming assuming you can select an adjustment and trigger system fast enough and qiuet enough plus a screen refresh rate that doesnt cause lag. Plus its a custom build. I am.not aware.of a commercial system that does this and even then its likely to be expensive to buy or hire
Your issue isnt really the rats. Your issue is their access routes. How are they getting in. How do you seal it so that it stops access.
What are they after? Is there a food source there or is it just warmth/weather/shelter related. Is a neighbour the problem and they are straying ?
You need to ID how and then plan to seal then mop up any stragglers. Glue traps somet8mes work but you need to understand your problem and the numbers involved.
Poision in a residential is not a good idea. The rat/s can get anywhere and die and the stink can last for days and weeks followed by a plague of flies that have fed of the carcase. That assumes you dont spend money digging the carcases out of the wall.
Youtube has a plethora of crafty trap ideas so long as they are compliant to law and animal welfare rules.
To me shooting is the best form of despatch but then I hate posion unless there really is absolutely no alternative.
There is also a C02 device that works 24/7/365 that may be a good idea ajd you could use a simpler NV set up and motion activated DVR to assess the activity and capture rate ect. I forget what it is called but again....YT is your resource.

In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
