# Vehicle Wait Time Setup
This article provides information on how to configure and set up Vehicle Wait Time, including:
* [Motion Zone Configuration](#motion-zone-configuration)
* [Camera Placement](#motion-zone-tips)
* Notifications and Exception Based Reporting Configuration
***
## Motion Zone Configuration
Vehicle Wait Time events are only created when a vehicle enters and leaves a specified **motion zone** within your camera view.
Ensure to set up a Vehicle Wait Time motion zone by following these steps:
1. Navigate to the **Video** page and select a camera. Ensure the camera you select captures your drive-thru area clearly (see [Camera Placement Guide](#motion-zone-tips) further down in this article for information on how to best angle your camera for Vehicle Wait Time).
2. Select the"gear"icon **> Motion Zones**.
3. Use the dropdown list near the top-right of the page to select **Zone Type: Vehicle Dwell Time**:
4. Drag in the camera view with your mouse to create a rectangular motion zone:
5. Select **Done** to create the motion zone for this camera.

## Motion Zone Tips
Motion zone placement is important to ensure vehicles are captured and tracked correctly in Solink. Refer to this section to understand the optimal and least-optimal motion zone placements within your cameras when using Vehicle Wait Time.
The following table provides examples of motion zone angles, in order of most ideal to least ideal from 1-4:
| **1. Best Angle** | **2. Acceptable Angle** |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| | |
| **3. Less Ideal Angle** | **4**. **Least Ideal Angle** |
| | |
We recommend to set up your motion zone closest to the "Best Angle" as shown above, or at least try and get close to it. A "Less Ideal" or "Least Ideal" angle, as shown above, may result in less reliable Vehicle Wait Time data.

## 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/understand-your-business/vehicle-wait-time/vehicle-wait-time-setup.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.
