# View Event Footage
Select an event thumbnail to watch the associated footage.
You can view video from an event by selecting the event thumbnail. Doing so opens a video player where you can watch video footage from the event. With the video player, you can scroll through transactions using the timeline at the bottom of the player, select other cameras, watch various segments and more.
This section provides a brief overview of how to use the video player to view events. If you would like to see a more comprehensive overview of the video player, check out the [Video Player - User Interface Overview](/docs/watch-and-find-video/video-player-user-interface/video-player-overview.md) section.
The player also provides advanced features such as [Motion Search](/docs/watch-and-find-video/video-tools/motion-search.md) and a [Heatmap](/docs/watch-and-find-video/video-tools/heatmap.md).
### View Events in Video Player
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Web" %}
To open the video player and view your events, select any thumbnail from the events page.
After you select the thumbnail for a particular event, the video player automatically starts playing the video footage associated with that event from the beginning of the clip. The video player continues to play through the events following the one you selected.
You can navigate through your events by following the instructions below:
#### View Events from List
You can navigate through your events using the list of events located on the left side of the player:
The list displays events based on where you navigated from. For example, if you selected a report, events in the list are based on the filter settings for that report. If you navigated from the **Alarms** page, events in the list display alarm events.
Each event displays a specific icon to indicate the event type:
| **Icon** | **Event Type** |
| -------- | -------------------------------- |
| | **Transaction Event** |
| | **Motion Event** |
| | **Window Time/Drive-Thru Event** |
| | **Video Alarm Event** |
| | **Open Alarm Event** |
| | **Bookmark Event** |
Select an event from the list to see more information, including the thumbnail, the time and date the event begins, and more options (select the three dots to [save the clip](/docs/review-events-and-save-evidence/clips/save-video-clips.md), add notes, "[favourite](/docs/review-events-and-save-evidence/events/share-and-favorite-events/favourite-your-events.md)" the event and more):\
To watch an event in the video player, select an event from the list, then select the event thumbnail:\
#### View Events from Timeline
Events are also displayed chronologically at the bottom of the video player:
You can navigate between events by selecting the events from the bottom of the player. Events are represented as lines at the bottom of the player, based on duration, shown in the GIF below:
You can also use the [video player buttons](/docs/watch-and-find-video/video-player-user-interface/video-player-overview.md) to navigate backwards and forwards.
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Mobile" %}
**Tap** any event to launch and review it in the video player. You can view events in both portrait and landscape orientation; functionality remains the same in both orientations.
For general information on the video player in the Solink mobile app, select the **Mobile** tab in [Video Player Overview](/docs/watch-and-find-video/video-player-user-interface/video-player-overview.md).
When viewing an event, you can toggle between **Details** and **Timeline** view:
* **Details** can include event details, such as a transaction receipt.
* The **timeline** allows you to scrub through footage - swipe your finger left or right along the timeline to scrub through footage.
At the bottom of the page you can navigate to the previous or next event. The icon displays the event type, as shown in the image below:
**Note**: In landscape mode, tap to reveal both details and the timeline. This is separate from portrait mode, where you can toggle between details and timeline display.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
### View Event Receipts
You can toggle receipts to display on top of the video. Select the **Player Options** button (gear icon) in the bottom right of the video player, then ensure the **Overlay Receipt**s slider is active:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
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/events/navigate-events/view-event-footage.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.
