I have recently installed Sighthound Video on my Windows 8.1 PC. It worked a bit -- I managed to connect to the camera briefly, and it appears to be evaluating rules, but I cannot get it to display as a Camera, and if I navigate around even a little bit, I get the never-ending circle that the windows operating system is working. When I go to the Task Manager, I find multiple instances of Sighthound running; but none is really working. Occasionally, when I use Task Manager to stop it, and choose "Restore ...", it has worked. But generally, it just hangs trying to startup. I really wanted this because I want to leave my Windows machine on "all the time" to monitor my cameras.
Any thoughts?

Hi creutzmaine,
I'm sorry to hear you've encountered this issue.
It's hard to say why you are experiencing the "never-ending circle" without more information. I'd be happy to take a look at your logs for anything unusual if you could submit a bug report by going to Help > Report a Problem. Be sure to include a link to this post so we know the report is from you.

- Are you looking for a live camera feed? If so, you can view it by clicking the "Cameras" button in the upper-left corner. Sighthound Video is a multi-process application so it is expected to see several processes in the Task Manager.I cannot get it to display as a Camera
