You can download video clips directly to your device. This option is only available if you are on the same local network as the recording device. ## Local Download During the [save clip process](/docs/review-events-and-save-evidence/clips/save-video-clips.md), select the **Local Download Only** button to save a clip directly to your device: **Note**: Saving a clip via the **Local Download Only** button **does not** save the clip indefinitely; the video clip expires when your [retention period ends](/docs/watch-and-find-video/manage-cameras/how-to-check-camera-video-retention.md).\ ​\ ​[Save a clip in the Solink cloud](/docs/review-events-and-save-evidence/clips/save-video-clips.md) to retain video clips indefinitely. ## Download Saved Clips from Cloud Once you [have saved a clip in the Solink cloud](/docs/review-events-and-save-evidence/clips/save-video-clips.md#access-saved-clips), you can download it directly from the **Clips** page. Select the **cloud icon** from the clip you want to save: ![](https://1562067156-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlMN1EUQcXYfv7FYpGJWR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4888d7361fc17bfdb72a73dc873f2b99fbbce9c1%2F3db539476637fef3.png?alt=media) Next, do one of the following to download an mp4 file directly to your local storage/Downloads folder on your device: * Select the **Download Video** button at the top of the window: * You can also select the **View Share** button to go to the **Solink Share** page. From this page, you can select the **Download** button to download the video file: **Note:** If the video clip is not saved (through the save video clip process) the video will not be saved to the cloud. If the video ages out past its retention period, the video will not be recoverable. It is strongly advised to save a clip if you want to keep the video accessible through the Solink application. ## Download 360 Camera Video Clips Follow the steps above to download a 360 camera video clip (the download process is the same for both regular and 360 camera video clips). On Windows devices, you can download the 360 video clip as either a **ZIP** or an **MP4** file. Select the arrow icon next to the **Download** button to choose the type of file to download: ### ZIP File: 360 Clip The ZIP file contains a **SLNK** file and the Solink Windows Viewer Application: This application allows you to view the 360 clip locally and/or offline in 360 mode:\ ​ **Note:** ZIP files are only available on Windows devices. You cannot download a ZIP file of your 360 clips on Mac devices. ### MP4 File: 360 Clip You can alternatively download an MP4 of your 360 video clip. You can view the clip in any supported video player and the clip is displayed in the default fisheye lens state (example shown in the GIF below):\ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.solink.com/docs/review-events-and-save-evidence/clips/download-video-clips.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
