My building has a shitty API app for the cameras, can it be fixed? (lemmy.world)

Basically the issue is that when viewing video replay, you can make it go up to 16x faster.. but there are essentially no other options.

Meaning, there aren't even notifications or event recordings.

Meaning, if you want to find out who keyed your car, you will be potentially watching video footage all day, depending on if you're sure on exactly which day it happened or not.

Soo is there any somewhat feasible way to fix this and how would it work (of course getting new cameras are out of the question for the building)

Record it to local storage and use VLC?

If you can attach directly to the camera's video feeds, you could run something like ZoneMinder on a local machine.
