How can I find HomeKit camera recording based on date and time range?

Short explanation:

Using the slider is cumbersome when there are numerous recordings, especially without activity zones. Is there a way to search for videos within a specific date range?


Long explanation: 

I’ve set up a HomeKit camera facing my allocated parking spot to deter my neighbors from scratching my car, which has happened before due to tight parking spaces. 


There’s a busy road right in front of our parking area with frequent pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Initially, I configured activity zones to cover only my parking space, hoping to ignore irrelevant motion. However, I found the recording triggers inconsistent—it often captured the car either after it was mostly parked or near the end of the activity zone. This means if my car were scratched, I wouldn’t have any footage. So, I removed the activity zones and enabled the recording of both cars and people, but now I have an overwhelming number of snippets, which isn’t ideal. But slightly more consistent capture of parking.
