Export to Local Folder Not Working for me Windows 10

by 168kmm » Fri Oct 07, 2016 10:27 pm

Testing out sighthound and I setup a rule to save the clip to disk, Export to Local folder and mobile notification. The local folder is

c:\Users\ken\Google Drive

but it did not seem to ever export anything when the rule fired (the detection does show in clips though)

I figured maybe it was the space in the path so I switched to C:\Users\ken\GoogleDrive but still no luck.

I manually exported a clip event from that camera to that directory and it worked fine.

Windows 10 x64, Trial Copy of Sighthound, Acti D31 1280x720 camera.

Help :-)

Thanks
Ken

Thanks Devin for your help, it is working now. Specifically I moved the GoogleDrive to be under Users\Public and I created a Clips folder in it, added Administrators permission for it. Then I set sighthound to save to that Clips folder and it works.

So

Users\Ken\Google Drive == bad

Users\Public\GoogleDrive\Clips (with Admin permissions) == good

Thanks Again!
