Solink’s motion search feature: A full breakdown

Motion search lets you quickly find video clips where movement happened in a specific area of the frame. Instead of watching a full hour of footage, you can tell Solink exactly where to look – and it returns a list of only the moments where something changed.

It works with footage from any camera connected to Solink, including indoor, outdoor, dome, bullet, or fisheye models.

How motion search works

  1. Select the camera you want to review

  2. Choose a time range – today, yesterday, or a custom window

  3. Draw a box on the screen to highlight the zone where you want to track motion

  4. Solink finds the clips where movement happened in that exact area

  5. Click to watch only the moments that matter

That’s it. You get to the key footage without wasting time, and you never have to guess when the incident took place.
