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.
