Solink Agents are AI assistants that monitor camera footage for you, allowing you to focus on other areas without the need to review hours or days worth of video from across your locations.

Agents fill a variety of pre-defined roles, monitor for specific activity, and deliver results to you directly in the Solink platform or through another medium such as text message or email.


Requirements

Please note the following requirements in order to use and access Solink Agents:

  • The ability to create and edit Solink Agents is only available in the web/browser version of the Solink platform. Agent creation and editing is unavailable in the mobile apps. However, events generated with Agents are still viewable in the Solink mobile app.

  • Users require the Agents user permission to be enabled in order to create and edit agents. Admin users can configure user permissions from the Users page in the Solink platform.
