Reviewing video for an investigation takes way longer than it should:

  • Looking for a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run? That’s an afternoon gone. 
  • Checking if employees are smoking near the building? That could kill an entire day.
Finding a single moment buried in hours of footage is tedious and frustrating.

It should be easier—just describe what you’re looking for and get back clips that match. That’s what Solink’s new AI Video Search does.

It makes finding video as simple as typing a few keywords. It sifts through millions of frames in seconds to surface the moments that matter.

With Video Search, we find teams spend 80% less time digging and more time closing cases.

The time cost of watching video

One of our customers, Himalayan High, had to pull a staff member off the floor and park them in front of a monitor for hours just to stay on top of shrink. That’s time that should’ve gone to customer service and operations—tied up in manual video review.

They’re not alone. We recently ran a survey with over 150 loss prevention and security professionals, in which respondents told us they spend an average of 9 hours per investigation. Most of that time is spent scrubbing through footage across multiple cameras and exporting clips manually.

The result?

  • Lost productivity
  • Higher labor costs
  • Delayed outcomes (which can lead to repeat incidents)

Find video right way—not the long way

Whether it’s a theft, a customer complaint, a vendor dispute, or an operational check-in, the first step in any investigation is finding the moment it happened—and that’s where most teams lose time.

Video Search cuts straight to the review phase. Just type what you’re looking for, and Solink filters down the noise—surfacing the video that matters.
Just some of the many ways AI Video Search comes in handy:

  • Flag vehicles of interest: Track deliveries, investigate accidents, or ID fleet vehicles by make or branding.
  • Review employee procedure: Confirm garbage disposal, break policies, or phone use compliance.
  • Solve vendor disputes: Verify services—like janitorial or third-party deliveries—were completed as agreed.
  • Find person of interest: Locate individuals using descriptors like clothing, accessories, or posture.
  • Catch risky behavior: Spot hazards like open doors, blocked exits, or wet floors before they cause incidents.

AI Video Search on existing cameras

Best of all: AI Video Search works with your existing cameras.

Other vendors require costly hardware upgrades, restrictive contracts, or per-camera fees that can balloon to hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Solink doesn’t. Video Search runs on the infrastructure customers already have—no rip-and-replace, no surprise surcharges. Just one convenient monthly subscription brings not only AI Video Search, but other powerful tools like Vision Analytics—so you can start reporting on traffic and engagement from your existing video setup.

Make every investigation easier

Whether flagging employees on their phones when they should be on the floor, or compiling evidence after an organized retail crime, scrubbing through footage is a time-consuming distraction from resolution. Skip the grind—make the first step in any investigation a simple search.

Solink AI Video Search is a smarter way to start every investigation. It filters out the noise, speeds up review, and helps teams find the moments that matter—all without replacing a single camera.
