Moving to a new Mac. What do I need to copy over?

I'm moving to a older MacPro with SSD from a Mac Mini.

I would hate to have to redo all my settings.

Where are preferences, etc. hiding?

Hello hwitten,

There currently isn't an officially supported migration method but 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: https://www.sighthound.com/support/wher ... store-data

Be sure that all cameras are off and Sighthound is fully closed when transferring over these files.

Regards,
