I am looking for some way to set a playback position (time) from an external Web service.

Background 
We want to implement a scheduler for remote patrol with Nx. However, we cannot program a specific schedule with Nx because of a lack of time resolution. Nx allows only 1 hour. So as a countermeasure, we are thinking of preparing an external server to transmit some API call or event to trigger Nx with a specific playback time. However, I still could not find the proper API or way.

  can you specify the scenario like this:

  1. what happens in the real world
  2. after that, 3rd-party system triggers smth in Nx (recording?)
  3. smth else happens in the real world
  4. 3rd party systems triggers Nx to do smth (stop recording?)
     
     

  This scenario can be achieved via Generic Event -> Camera recording Event rule
  Use "state" field to start/stop

  
  Here is full article: https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/articles/216914297-How-to-start-stop-recording-using-Nx-Witness-Generic-Event
  
  Or

  1. Nx configured to record everything
  2. Someone uses Desktop Client to review archive
  3. There is a webpage integration (https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/articles/7824884166935-Introduction)
  4. Webpage integration controls playback position via JS API
