Moving sighthound to another computer.

by cerjzc » Thu Mar 20, 2014 1:22 pm

I'm getting ready to move sighthound to it's own computer and wanted to know if it is possible to move over the settings from the current configuration. I saw the faq item on moving the license, but can't seem to find anything about moving the camera information.

If needed I will just add them all again, but thought if there was an easy way to move them it would save a bit of time.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hiya Jeff,

Though there aren't currently any officially supported migration tools, you should be able to copy a few items from the data folder to the new computer to preserve your configurations and rules. Namely you'll want the "camdb" file and the "rules" directory. This article will help you locate the Sighthound Video data directory: http://www.sighthound.com/support/where ... store-data
