Play h265 videos in Firefox and/or Chromium in Ubuntu 20.04

Is there any way I can play h265 videos (with the HTML5 video player) in Firefox and/or Chromium in Ubuntu 20.04?

I know the browsers themselves do not support this codec, but, if I understand it well, if support is present on the system they may delegate to it.

Still, I searched a lot but could not find a way to do that.

Purpose: trying to get the web interface of my surveillance equipment to show me videos recorded in h265 format (live views and/or recordings).
