Migrating to a new computer.

by JesseS » Mon Jan 01, 2018 1:47 pm

Hello;
I am currently using the free trial Pro version on my personal iMAC and have decided to purchase. I have ordered a new dedicated iMac to run the system on, is there a way to migrate Sighthound, or all of the preferences to the new computer without having to go thru the entire setup and config again. I have 10 IP cameras and have them all set up and running fine with rules. I have not seen a 'Save Config' option in the menu tree. As this installation is not 'activated' yet I won't need to switch the license.
Thanks

Hello,

So when migrating to an entirely new machine, you will need to set everything up again unless you bring over a couple of folders from your old machine. If you go to the following folder /Library/Application Support/Sighthound Video/ you should bring the following:

camdb
rules/

That will bring all of the cameras that you have setup along with the rules that you have with them.

Does that help? Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns, thank you!

Regards,
-Kevin
