Motion Search allows you to identify a key area of video and then search for any interaction within that area. It can be used when something goes missing, someone uses a backdoor, or even to audit employee break times.
Motion Search lets you jump to a time in your video when motion occurs in an area you have specified. You can specify a motion area using the Motion Search tool, which allows you to draw over a specific part of the video and track motion in that area.

How to Use Motion Search
You can track motion to highlight specific points of your video footage by following these steps:
Navigate to the Video page in the Solink platform.
Select a location.
Select the camera you would like to conduct a motion search on to open the video player.
In the top-right corner of the video player, select the Motion Search button:
Click and hold your mouse button in the video area to draw and highlight an area of interest.
Once you've highlighted an area of interest, you can do the following:
Review the blue bars along the timeline, which represent instances of motion with varying degrees of intensity (low motion, medium motion, high motion).
Select the Previous Motion/Next Motion buttons to navigate between motion.
Enhance Motion Search with People/Vehicle Detection
You can enhance Motion Search to specifically find either people or vehicles within your video (instead of detecting motion in general).
See Motion AI Insights for more information.
How Are Motion Events Different from Motion Search?
Motion events are created when a region of interest (ROI) is defined on a camera and motion is detected within that region. For more information on motion events, see Motion Events.
Motion search does not require a ROI to be set on a camera. You can conduct a motion search to check for instances of motion in a specific area of a camera.
