Camera markers link a spot in a camera view to something at your location, such as a register, a table, or a door. Markers help you find the right spot in the video quickly. ### How Markers Work You can use markers in two ways: * **Link POS transactions to a spot:** A marker shows where in the camera view a transaction happened, for example at a register or a table. * **Link a door to a camera:** A marker shows an access control door in the camera view. You can see the door status and lock or unlock the door from the video player. #### POS Transactions How you use transaction markers depends on your business: * **Retail:** Place a marker on each register or checkout. * **Restaurant:** Place a marker on each table. When a transaction plays, Solink matches the transaction to a marker. A transaction matches a marker when the marker's **Pin Name** is the same as the transaction's POS device, terminal ID, register ID, or table number. The example below is from a restaurant, but registers work the same way. Each marked table has a transaction event: ![](https://1562067156-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlMN1EUQcXYfv7FYpGJWR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1d493ee72235084d51fda66735071ac1edef138d%2Ffff531b7f309280b.png?alt=media) Select the event thumbnail to open the camera view. The view shows all of the markers on that camera: ![](https://1562067156-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlMN1EUQcXYfv7FYpGJWR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-09ebbadc7f299995b0d42010ce3beb6f64ccdf45%2F21400ff92206e296.png?alt=media) Hover over a marker to see the total transaction value and the duration of the transaction. For a table, the duration is the time from when the ticket opened to when it closed: ![](https://1562067156-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlMN1EUQcXYfv7FYpGJWR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4ea6a3e73759246882acf388d10d1cb7f13f007b%2Fd63eb383d1a330da.png?alt=media) #### Access Control Doors A door marker links a camera to an access control door at your location. The camera view shows the door at the spot where you placed the marker. If you can manage access control, you can see the door status and lock or unlock the door from the video player. ### Add a Camera Marker To add a camera marker to a camera: 1. Select the gear icon in the top-right corner of the video player. 2. Select **Markers**: ![](https://1562067156-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlMN1EUQcXYfv7FYpGJWR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-444d095eb83cc149d63a296ff0f0d58cc3699166%2F8227df9849e3a1c3.png?alt=media) 3. Select the spot in the camera view where you want the marker, for example a register, a table, or a door: ![](https://1562067156-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlMN1EUQcXYfv7FYpGJWR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a7baecc9d804b8c9fc0ff8f9dfb169e7d029aa53%2Fe507d9d5b2727e54.gif?alt=media) 4. In the **Zone Type** field, select the zone type. The zone type controls what you can select in the **Pin Name** field. The table shows which Zone Type to use: | Zone Type | Use it for | What to enter in Pin Name | | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Table** | Restaurant tables | Select or type the table number exactly as it appears in your POS data, for example "Table 1". | | **Data Source** | A register that has its own POS connection in Solink | Select the POS device for that register. The list shows the POS devices at your location. | | **Terminal** | A register that your POS data identifies by a terminal ID | Select or type the terminal ID exactly as it appears in your POS data. | | **Register** | A register that your POS data identifies by a register ID | Select or type the register ID exactly as it appears in your POS data. | | **Door** | An access control door | Select the door. The list shows the doors at your location. | For a register or checkout, the correct zone type depends on how your POS sends data to Solink: * If each register has its own POS connection in Solink, use **Data Source**. * If one POS connection sends transactions for several registers, use **Terminal** or **Register**. Use the ID that your POS data includes. 5. In the **Pin Name** field, select or type the register, table, or door. The **Pin Name** must match your POS data exactly, including spaces and leading zeros. If the field shows a list, select a value from it. If not, copy the value from a recent transaction for that register or table. 6. Select **Save**: ![](https://1562067156-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlMN1EUQcXYfv7FYpGJWR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-bb233397cfe13f628804f8859e19d2b747698447%2F61e8e18a46972263.png?alt=media) The marker shows where you placed it in the camera view: ![](https://1562067156-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlMN1EUQcXYfv7FYpGJWR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f05e2db8054aa29410db1916f127f778885555fd%2F2a1203fe93a4d561.png?alt=media) **Tip:** If one camera shows more than one register, add one marker for each register. ### Delete a Camera Marker To delete a camera marker: 1. Select the gear icon in the top-right corner of the video player. 2. Select **Markers**. 3. Select the marker that you want to remove. Solink deletes it immediately. ### Declutter Markers The **Declutter Markers** option hides the markers that are not related to the transaction that is playing. Only the register or table for the current transaction stays on screen. To turn Declutter Markers on or off: 1. Select the gear icon in the top-right corner of the video player. 2. Select the **Declutter Markers** slider: ![](https://1562067156-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlMN1EUQcXYfv7FYpGJWR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-eb5e3d3f000665620d81745dfa2426289883f468%2F61c3554b5963bfc8.png?alt=media) --- # 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/watch-and-find-video/manage-cameras/camera-markers.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.
