Lost access to non-rules video

by JohnS » Fri Jun 12, 2015 1:59 pm

Recently, for some reason my Sighthound stopped giving me access to video that is recorded in-between rule hits. In the search screen, all the rule hit events still show up and are marked on the timeline below as well, but normally, there is a Green bar representing the continuous recording of video that didn't trigger any hits. I used to be able to click the green areas in the timeline and view all the in-between video. Now, that doesn't exist, so I can't view anything other than the rule hits.

I looked in the appdata folder where Sighthound is and found the video folder and see that 2 min clips of all the video for the past few days is actually there and I can view them directly from there. But I have no easy way to view this in Sighthound itself like I used to be able to.

I tried shutting the program down and killing all the processes that were running. I even did a cold reboot after that and started Sighthound again. But same results, it still is capturing hits and showing them in Sighthound itself, but no in-between video. But the video is still being captured in the video folder in 2 min chunks.

Any idea what is happening and how I can resolve this?

Hi JohnS,

It sounds like you may have "Any Camera" selected in the Search View. In order to access to temporary video between clips you must have an individual camera selected.

Regards,

Devin,

Thank you very much. You were exactly right! I guess at some point I switched it to all cameras in Search view and didn't realize it! You're a genius! Thanks again!
