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)

It works remotely when I'm on data too.

It doesn't give me any IP addresses for the cameras, it only shows one IP address which I am assuming is the one for the internet they use but not sure

Then yeah, they probably have a camera system, and the owner set up port forwarding to the DVR so it can be viewed remotely.

In which case, you're probably out of luck for doing something on your own using the camera feeds.
