Stopped recording when closed app

by MHDevUsr » Fri Oct 28, 2016 4:19 am

Hi All,

I've used sighthound for a while on my home security running on MAC. When I close the app at home the system continues to run and log which is perfect. However I've just installed another licence at my work premises and this stops logging when the app is closed (also a MAC).
I can't seem to find a setting for turning this on but I'm guessing there must be one somewhere! Could someone point me in the right direction please so it can continue to run 24/7 in the background?

Thanks in advance!

Hello MHDevUsr,

You can prevent the Mac from entering sleep mode by going to System Preferences > Energy Saver. Note if it is a laptop you may need to disable sleep mode on both the power adapter and battery settings. If you wish to be able to close the lid and keep it running you will need to change this setting as well.

Regards,
