What is motion search?
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
Select the camera you want to review
Choose a time range – today, yesterday, or a custom window
Draw a box on the screen to highlight the zone where you want to track motion
Solink finds the clips where movement happened in that exact area
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.
